eyra on BPB: Rand Renfrow

Every Thurs­day I bring you some­thing from eyra, my online illus­tra­tion gallery. eyra is a vir­tu­al space that shows, writes about, and sells illus­tra­tion. I hope that by next Thurs­day I will have some excit­ing news for you!

Rand Ren­frow is an artist I’ve admired for years. I have a cou­ple of his prints framed in my apart­ment, and I was super excit­ed when he was able to be a part of the newest exhi­bi­tion, Long Form.

Absur­di­ty is present in Rand’s work, as is the extreme styl­iza­tion of every­day objects, as well as ones that exist only in his world. That’s what is great about Rand’s draw­ings and illus­tra­tions — he’s done an excel­lent job of cul­ti­vat­ing a world, select­ing objects and inhab­i­tants that make sense with­in its scope. No mat­ter what type of assign­ment, it always feels authen­tic to him.

Here’s some more work by Rand, via his web­site.
