Evan Lindquist etching
His works are so repetitive. They're beautiful in that overly tedious way but the repetition of themes makes them feel like overly elaborate sketches rather than fine art drawings... Why do these ideas need to be expressed en masse? What does each piece gain by being in a series with the others? Work like this challenges me to push to make my works distinct, to make them build on one another, and to not fall into the comfort of an already developed visual language (like I so often am tempted to do).
But they'd make great tattoos.
