My friend Sung (user: skim) has highly recommended the Henry Darger show at the Frye. It's on exhibit until October 29th.

Quoted: Henry Darger (1892–1973) was a self-taught reclusive artist who created and inhabited an imaginary world through extensive writings, paintings, and drawings. After Darger’s death, his Chicago neighbor and landlord discovered and made public Darger’s previously unknown volume of work.

Quoted: This solitary artist left behind several diaries and manuscripts including a six-part weather journal, an autobiography in eight volumes, and his 15,000-page illustrated epic, The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What Is Known as the Realms of the Unreal. Accompanied by watercolor paintings and collages, the novel focuses on a band of girls’ heroic efforts to free enslaved children held captive by an army of adults. The novel and its illustrations are whimsical and sinister in their depiction of war and peace and good versus evil.

This is the website for one of Sung Kim's painter friends Carl Beery, who I met and had some wine and dinner with last night. He's a nice guy who wants to get on Blue.Us! I think I can hook him up...

I went to the artwalk with Sung Kim last night. This artist had my favorite stuff over at 619 Western.
