I came across the work of Joe Schlaud through the GoodWood project. He’s got a couple of skate decks up for auction and they got me a’wonderin’. Schlaud is relatively new on the scene, if you’re counting by shows his work has been in (which I’m not), but he’s already got a nice portfolio stacked up. I’m especially fond of his Civil War portraits, which have great mood and a little dash of symbolism mixed in. Hell, I even like his paintings of fruit. Keep a cornea directed towards Mr. Schlaud for the next couple of years; you won’t regret it.
