PACK A WALLOP

at Webb Gallery opens today featuring
Mark Todd, Fred Stonehouse, and Thynon Sykes
 
 
Mark Todd, from Webb Gallery site:
Like many kids raised in the 70's, Mark was influenced at an early age by Star Wars and comic books. Unlike many kids, he grew up just a few miles from the Vegas strip, it's neon and glitz looming over the city. He graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California and currently lives and works in the Los Angeles area with his wife, artist Esther Pearl Watson, their daughter Lili and Mr. Pickles, a lovely French Bulldog. He is well known as a teacher, a kickass zine maker, a painter, a illustrator, and all around great guy!!!
 
Mark Todd: Invaders, acrylic on wood, 24x36 and Strange Space, acrylic on wood, 40x60 

Mark Todd: Ghosts, acrylic on wood, 18x12

Mark Todd's work in the main gallery space

Fred Stonehouse.  Has exhibited extensively and ...is a professor of art at Univ of Wisconsin.  He will be in attendance for the opening and spend some time haunting all of the great antique shops and fleas of the area. (Webb Gallery)

Fred Stonehouse works

Mr. Thynon Sykes is 97. He has done just about every occupation including cook and race car driver. These days due to age and health he can't move about and do like he used to; so he started doing drawings to fill his time.  He makes no claims to them being art, but snickers and shines with joy when looking and talking about them.  (Webb Gallery)
