In The Mix!!!!
Les Casion III is an artist out of Asheville NC pretty intresting stuff.... http://url/
This is copy from his website...
In all of his works Les Caison III adds a little something something. Yeah, that word is repeated twice. That's my point; Les puts just a touch more in his art than you'd expect. Whether you choose to see it or not, it's there. Maybe you will see it with time. Perhaps your friend will point it out to you at the next exhibition.
Les has always drawn from experiences of the world about him. He's always drawn. If you ask him he'll be happy - well, not so happy, to dig through photos and unearth a picture of himself, less than two years of age with pencil in hand, drawing on the bathroom floor.
And now he's got a few years on him. And he's got a few more life experiences to draw from. He paints oil layered with pencil. And he is still sketching.
In 2005 Les had a debut of 278 illustrations: a project two years in the making and supported in part by a grant from the Asheville Arts Council. The show was called "First Steps." An array of loose sketches, "the beginnings of a work of art" as he puts it, were fashioned on the gallery walls of the Hickory Museum of Art with thumbtacks and duct tape. A successful first installation project - for folks were asking to purchase these rough sketches on found paper - from New York to Florida.
