yard dog art


their motto: "if we like it, if we hang it in the gallery and it looks like it belongs, then it’s yard dog art." out of austin, texas, yardog art has a mix of folk art, outsider art and contemporary art. here are some that caught my eye: (above by canadian artist, clint griffin)



clint griffin - map {see above} scratched onto found wood (toronto, ontario)
tom d +melissa arpin d - mixed media (grand rapids, michigan)
jon langford - multi-layered paintings take imagery from old country music publicity photos and sheet music (chicago via south wales)
