We’re two painters who want to close the gap between those who love art and those who can afford it. In the digital age, we create handmade oil paintings of objects that have enticed us at various points in our lives. www.cultfavoritegallery.com
A blurry homage to the magnificent David Foster Wallace, who we hope might have found this painting at least marginally interesting. As interesting as IRS auditors levitating slightly at their desks while processing 1040s.

Philip K. Dick claimed to hear voices throughout his life, starting in high school, when a voice helped him pass a physics test. He thought of it as the voice of God, and it was sometimes accompanied by a pink light.

Did you know… the character Dill Harris, in To Kill a Mockingbird, was based on Truman Capote? They were childhood friends, and Lee helped research In Cold Blood #painting #classicnovels #harperlee #trumancapote #tokillamockingbird #bibliophile

Things getting strange and stranger... so I made an 8x10 oil painting of the original Dr. Moreau book cover.

Fifteenth anniversary of Jerome David Salinger's death... in 2019, his son told the Guardian that unpublished work would be put out by 2030. Something to get us through this decade!

I read the brick red edition, which I'm fond of, but which lacks the barely-restrained pizzazz of the bottom left.
