A Good Egg.

"A Good Egg: Illustrations by R.L. Gibson" opens April 6th at Hale Springs Inn in Rogersville, TN.
“A Good Egg” illustration by Artist R.L. Gibson

“Back when we grew our own food, farming was, by its very nature, organic. Today, big agriculture has us convinced that organics are hipster privilege. Cashiers struggle to identify a turnip root. Children don’t know milk comes from cows. There are nineteen ingredients in McDonald’s french fries. We are more separated from our food than ever. Daily, we consume food about which we know nothing. By choice. We want food cheap & easy even if it kills us. We will pay $5 for drive-thru coffee but not for a dozen fresh eggs. “A Good Egg” asks the metaphorical question, can we recover our connection to food? What amount of ornament, decoration or spin does it take to make real food, food again?” – R.L. Gibson

“A Good Egg” is a developing series of 23 illustrations
by Artist R.L. Gibson.

Inspired by the music, again, I couldn’t resist subtle rebellion of these #shoegaze wonders from Baltimore, Wildhoney, hence the hornet, not #honeybee. (continues below)

1/46

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

A needed distraction…

I’ve been knee-deep in an illustration that has my head swimming.  I REALLY needed a diversion when I tripped across this Call for the 46 Million Turkeys project… a perfect distraction. (continues below)
