Markham Maes, the shittiest of kittens, never ceases to amaes. Markham is a rare creature, and an artist in the purest sense. In a time where computers and all things digital prevail, Markham sticks to pencils, pens, paints, paper, canvas and sometimes wood. He’s been know to work on paintings in his car while stopped at traffic lights. Sure, we scan his work once in a while or digitally manipulate it for various commercial appliques, but when it comes to his real artwork – that shit is analog – all day long. And yeah, lots of artists still work almost entirely old school with little to no reliance on the computer, but Markham takes it to the extreme. Can you name the last person you know who hand-drew screen printed and hand-painted their announcements for their latest show, themselves? I can, it’s Markham Maes and he’s a gem of creative talent. But, blah, blah, blah, see for yourself – and be sure to check out his latest body of work entitled Letters and Ladies on December 12th at the D-Note.

Markham curated and contributed to one helluvah show last night at the D-Note (full photo recap later). Nice work out there man! The c13 crew took it down to the wire crankin’ out their owls yesterday in a furious onslaught of priming, polying, masking, taping, painting, unmasking and more polying. Here’s how it went down…

Magic beans are awesome and so was the show! Anthony Salazar, Josh Holland, Mike Gallegos, Mike Graves, Markham Maes, Sean Gilbert and Scot Lefavor produced some awesome work. It was especially great to see Markham and Graves collabing all over the place. We apologize in advance for all the artwork that didn’t get photographed, we had some battery issues. Regardless, all the pieces looked awesome. The show will be running for the rest of the month, so go check it out!
