Abstract Saturday: Tim Biskup

Today I want to share one of my favorite artists, Tim Biskup. While he's not technically an abstract painter, I figure it's okay to stretch a point... Tim's current work is not as whimsical as these older pieces, but takes a more serious tone. I, however am partial to the witty and wonderful paintings inhabited by birds, eyeballs and monsters. I see a bit of Jim Flora in his earlier compositions, for sure. You can see a good chronological sampling on his website.
