The Carved Leather of Mark Evans

yea, those dogs don't mean shit to me other then stock photos you find in frames.

i agree with observations that he's full of it for sure. and i'm pretty sure he uses a projector to do this so he's not even a draftsmen. i like the concept of the medium, but that's about it. his subject matter is largely trite popular images. psuedo-art.

Another open italics tag in this post.

Beautiful work, but his hipster/club kid/simpleton schtick is even worse than "pseudo-intellectualism".

I'd call him a craftsman, since "art" ostensibly has some sort of message, either intended or not. But he's a very capable craftsman. I'm sure the website impressions of him are done for his obviously high-end clientele. Those people love being sold a line to justify their opulent investments.

hmmm, doesn't do "pseudo intellectual" --- but puts on a stylish pose! and uses the word "irony" in the title of a picture of a bull, carved in leather. I smell "psuedo!"
He poses dressed like a hipster in club-gear, holding a knife that he couldn't use to do work of that scale (leather tools have different blades and handles and are held differently) -- he'd destroy his wrist in less than an hour if he did more than just pose that way.
Nothing to stop him from trying to pull that off, though.
