Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

words by Randy Laybourne..

“When I was 20 years old I was able to backpack and skateboard around Europe, going as far east as the middle of Turkey and as far north at Gdansk in Poland. During the trip I tried to get to every gallery and museum I could afford to see. Being able to see a lot of the masterpieces of art was amazing but there were particular artists that had a big impact”

please go to Randy’s site to read the rest of this blog…. it’s a super interesting.. art history lesson.

The Randy Laybourne 20X20 show is coming to Oceanside, California

20 x 20 show background part 1

Monday, December 15th, 2008

The work for the 20X20 show didn’t happen out of nowhere. Randy Laybourne had done a couple pieces that seemed to inspire the way the images went together.

The first was a drawing done in 2003 for Spur magazine, based out of Calgary. The theme of the issue was “rise” and Laybourne incorporated a few things that give rise; like ladders, buildings and escalators.

for the rest of the blog please go to Randy’s blog!!

Swiv will be keeping you posted… as it get’s closer to this show.
