Mick Sheldon, Slingshot Towards Heaven, 1999, watercolor on woodblock print.

“The real poet studies the world as it is: lovely, terrible, sensible, grotesque; and would ask for no other in its place. Humor is the final sign and seal of seriousness for it is a proof that reality is held in honor and in love.” -- Mark van Doren

1999, The Student, acrylic on linen. From the book Artful Jesters.

Trevor Winkfield’s studio is a funhouse of merriment and mischief making, the kind of place where formal design and comic surrealism come together and evolve spirited narratives from a hodgepodge of visual fragments.
