Looks like something that the author Paul Bunyan would paint very creative thought. Excellent Work.

If you look at the artist’s website, I like the second and fifth (from the left) images in the “Martyrs” section.

Surreal and mythic! Best in context with Pinon’s other work… riding chairs is definitely like tilting at windmills! Wonderful!

I love collage as an art form. It can add dimension & depth to a piece, each layer saying something new, supporting the main theme. In the hands of an artist, this ‘medium’ can go well beyond elementary or middle school craft, to add new meaning to an idea we may not have thought much about before. The best art makes us think, visually pleasing or not. I find this work interesting. Do I like it? I’m not sure yet, but I do find it interesting…

I have received the artist of the day on google for over a year and have been impressed only a few times. I love the thought and insight of what a cowboy in the city and or corporate america might feel. I would love to see more!!!!

I love this. Who doesn’t think of themselves as a cowboy riding a bucking branco? (My life is so hard!). When in fact our hardships are made of the most contrite hardships. (I was late to pick up Jimmy cause I had to stop at starbucks and get a coffee).

I can dig it!

OK, I don’t really get the concept, but I admire the flow and movement the artist has been able to achieve with this. Often collages feel static and jumbled, but these have a life and energy to them. And I agree that they are just fun.
