Todd Camplin

Yesterday the Architect and I ventured downtown to the D Art Slam at the F.I.G. Gallery. At the art show we saw the work of Todd Camplin and walked away with one of his pen and ink drawings. The drawings he had at the show were abstractions of words repeated over the page. The drawing we picked up was huge - 50x38. We are not quite sure where we are going to put it just yet.

We left the drawing with the artist for the remainder of the show, so if you want go check Todd out and the other talented local artists in out midst.
