ART TODAY 040518 Brett Gilbert is also a Photoshop genius who creates whimsical images for phones, T-shirts… you name it!
I use mechanical pencils, so I don’t have to sharpen a point constantly. Then black ink Bic pen. Then paint in Photoshop. When I paint in oils, I use a spoon to give a thick relief.
Poems: Linda J. Albertano and Her Brother, James AA Stone
Virtue rides into town on a
convertible Clydesdale. She’s wrapped
in blue-and-white
stars
and is eating an apple concoction.
Ah, Virtue! They want
you.
Your symbols
are so succulent! They want to use
you
for purposes of personal
adornment.
Virtue drinks nothing but
water
from glaciers and the sap of lacebark
pine.
Chris Bonno writes about Brett Gilbert, the writer-comedian, father, illustrator, whimsical photographer, poster-ad designer, and oil painter.
I had the privilege, long ago, of seeing numerous paintings done by Brett with oil paint and a series of different sized spoons, in person, in his then small apartment while he was finishing up a few. He was creating spot-on large versions of cereal boxes from the sixties and seventies.
