When I was a kid all my schoolfellows (myself included) thought folders were a declaration of style, an artistic statement if you will. There was a series of folders I remembered the other day with ultra-cheesy but hyper realistic paintings of seascapes, mostly dolphins and colorful fish 'n shit. I racked my brain and scoured Google for hours until I finally hit pay dirt.

CHRISTIAN RIESE LASSEN
That's right! The Hawaii based painter/entrepreneur/champion surfer/singer-songwriter is a force to be reckoned with. And he's cute too, amirite ladies? Riese paints shit like dolphins, tigers &
mystical beaches.

My personal favorite are the seascapes! Swarming, colorful underwater life below, dazzling cosmos swirling above!

Riese says he paints a highly idealized version of nature to encourage awareness about the deteriorating environment. RIGHTEOUS!

OH, MY, GOD this guy is/was the king of folders. What a master!
ReplyDeleteAlso, things like the Lisa Frank shoutout is why we're together. She's from Tucson just like me... her house was multi-colored. I was in the official fan club.
