caleb neelon

(detail from "fallout")

caleb neelon you have something going here and i can’t characterize it or even put it into words but i love looking at your work! maybe it’s the detail, all playful and fun, or maybe it’s the colours - sort of like the colours you’d see in a really good illustrated children’s book.

here’s caleb’s bio. “born in 1976 in boston and based in neighboring cambridge, caleb is an artist, writer, and educator. caleb's paintings and installation artwork has appeared in solo and group shows in venues in america and europe, as murals on walls in kathmandu, reykjavik, bermuda, calcutta, sao paulo, and across europe, as well as in dozens of books, magazines, and newspapers around the world. he is co-author of the thames and hudson book graffiti brasil and street world from thames and hudson, abrams and other international co-editions, author and illustrator of the children's book, "lilman makes a name for himself", and a collaborator on nearly a dozen other books. he is an editor at the popular culture hardbound bi-monthly swindle, and has been a contributing writer to tokion, print, juxtapoz, on the go, lemon, and many other magazines and journals. he has lectured at several international conferences and festivals, as well as harvard law school, bates college, northeastern university, and his alma mater, the harvard graduate school of education. he has worked with many international corporations as a creative consultant, writer, and artist. he dislikes winter weather.”

here’s caleb’s work up on the walls of white walls, san francisco
april of 2007.

there’s books and stories and films and songs in these paintings . . .

to see more and even buy some stuff then head over here to caleb’s homepage. when you get to the homepage you'll find an artist who has lived his art and placed it, taken it and left it all over the world. enjoy the journey!
