Eric Shaw

I am pretty obsessed with Eric Shaw’s paintings right now. I follow him on flickr and every time he posts new work I freak out and want to flickr favorite it a million times over until my computer breaks. Sometimes I wish I could do that just so there would be some physical proof of how much I love his work. Instead I just flickr favorite it and leave exclamation points and smiley faces and drop words like GLORIOUS and bagahdbshfrfurhf and FHSGUFFHDFUGDFBDFFD bahhduh and drool (can they make a drool button? what about a “I-just-banged-my head-into-the-computer-and-put-screwdrivers into-my-eyes-because-I-like-this-so-much-and-don’t-know-what-to-do-with myself” button?  I could use those) . For me trying to describe sublime art work with lengthy descriptions is ridiculous and futile because I am basically the equivalent of a slobbering visual monkey.

Anyway, feast your eyeballs….and souls…upon the magical artwork of Eric Shaw:


 *His work reminds me a bit of The Hairy Who especially Jim Nutt and  Karl Wirsumso if you’re into this you should check them out too! wooot wooooot yeahhh

    The screwdriver split like a banana bandana upon contact with my eyeholes. Thanks for exposing Eric Shaw to this brain.

    I feel pretty much the same when his new shit pops up on my flickr feed. It is the real stuff, ja kno? I once tried to gush to him about my admiration of his work at LIT but he was uh…not so into the praise.
