One of my co-workers always has dirty fingernails. Not greasy dirty, but inky dirty and I always wondered why. Then handed out flyers and I knew. Anson is an artist!

Now his art isn’t exactly my style, I prefer good travel photography and if pressed into paintings, go for realism or at least surrealism. Anson’s art is fully abstract, but I do have to say that I can appreciate his works and even find a few worthy of want. As in I would want one in my apartment.

If only Anson would give out co-worker discounts, I could be a contender. Alas, I can only admire from afar. You on the other hand can admire his works close up all month long. Starting today, he’ll have a rotation of works up at Soho Tea & Coffee for your viewing pleasure.
