#1 Pushing Past Pretty

"You need to make sure that your work stands up when you’re not there, especially if you use a rare medium. If it’s oil or acrylic or photography people get it, they know what it is. They can almost judge the work." — Bryant Small

I admire Bryant's artistry and dedication very much. I'm so grateful we got to chat — about alcohol ink technique, growing up an artist in D.C., and running art like a business. I visited him in his studio and there is music in the background, and an occasional bump in the mix, but it's all good vibes. Being in a room with him is invigorating. His energy is exuberant. The conversation bubbles with a side-splitting cackle. And while he’s aware of this gift to pull people in (he calls it razzle-dazzle), the man wears it like a blessing. And to top it off, his paintings are a lavish feast for the eyes.
