In my last post, I mentioned that I was underwhelmed by the Old Town Art Fair.  While this remains true, I always manage to find one or two artists at each show that are truly special.

Jay Long was one of them.  He paints in a style that I don’t often find myself drawn too, but the work is simultaneously whimsical and haunting.  Quite a feat!

According to his bio, Long was a punk rocker in the 80’s.  Perhaps that’s why I like his work so much.

There’s much, much more on his site.
