Once upon a time there was a little boy who loved to draw.
He got older, played clarinet in school -- that's him on the right...
But he never gave up drawing, not for a second.
Back about five years ago or so, he was painting murals at the U of M Children's Hospital. They were fun, they were fanciful. A good way for the most compassionate kid I know to volunteer.
Then he moved on to designing chalk boards for restaurants and delis.
But you've come a long way, baby! This is my favorite Greg Oberle piece of all time!
Greg is having his art show for a project at Kendall Art and Design, 17 Fountain St. NE, in Grand Rapids today -- (March 24) -- at 6:30 p.m. We'll be there, that's for sure! If you're in the neighborhood, drop by!
(Note! The show was great! I have wonderful photos and I'll be posting them in the next week or so. Thanks for all your lovely comments!)

Beautiful work! That Zingerman's board is one of my favorites, and not just because love Zingerman's. It's interesting to see how his drawing style is evolving into something so finely detailed. Hope you are all enjoying a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteI'm a spongebob fan (I have no idea why - !!!) so that caught my eye and then, the work he does for the delis and restaurants - what fun and what art. We love to see artists at work - it's fascinating and ... inspiring! So what's next?
