Goodness. Thomas Campbell Bottle Quilt Artwork.

The artwork of Thomas Campbell.

Thomas Campbell is one of my favorite artists. He has a world that he has created through characters and language that is quiet and beautiful, but slightly haunting at the same time. His line quality and his color palette is impeccable. Wether he is making surf and skate films, painting, or creating mixed media art pieces it always has a specific look that is completely his own.

His work is part of the Beautiful Losers show and he has played a good part in the skateboard/snowboard/surf industry for many years.

You can see more of his work here and here.
