Posted by sleepboy, January 20, 2014

Yesterday, AM stopped by the 19th edition Los Angeles Art Fair at the LA Convention Center to see what the art world had to offer.

The Old Ones sees the Portland-based artist explore the origins of the animals and creatures that inhabit his paintings, some larger than life.
