About the Collection
We’ve been friends with Chicago art collector and greeting card company owner Jay Blumenfeld for the last decade, watching (and sometimes helping) him grow his impressive collection of modern pop artwork.
There comes a time for nearly every art collector, though, when they simply run out of wall space. Jay turned to us to help him sell a few pieces to make room for new works.
These 12 pieces are incredibly framed with museum quality materials, double thick mats and UV resistant glass.
Many of these works have not been available to the public before now.
About the Artists
Joe Scarano is a NY-based art director and painter whose works recall the odd early days of animation and the dingy despair of the 1930s.
Shane Swank is a Wisconsin-based writer, painter and graphic artist and was the proprietor of Chicago gallery Poop Studios in the 1990’s when the featured work was created.
Scottish artist Brian Taylor (also known by his brand name Candykiller) is a professional illustrator/graphic designer in addition to creating original works of pop art. Among designer toy circles (as well as 3d animation) he is probably best known as the creator of Rustboy, though that is really a small part of the output of this prolific artist.
Chicago-based artist Mitch O’Connell creates both fine art works and illustrations for publications as diverse as GQ, The New York Times, Playboy, Entertainment Weekly, The New Yorker and Juggs!
