People Stop Using Things
I often discover artists whose work I like via blogs like BoingBoing, books like Cult Fiction, or in newspapers/magazines. One artist whom I found via Cult Fiction (which explores the relationship between comic and cartoon imagery and contemporary art) is Chad McCail, who draws one-scene pictures accompanied by slogan-like captions. I love his work and wish that I was talented enough to replicate it. Here is one such scene, from a collection entitled “Food Shelter Clothing Fuel”. It is named “People Stop Using Things” - what a great title for a picture!
