Renowned Painter Aron Wiesenfeld Collects His Post-it Note Drawings in New Book, Playtime.


The artwork of Aron Wiesenfeld has been featured in 15 solo exhibitions and captured the attention of fans around the world, including Oscar Award-winning filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro and legendary cartoonists including Mike Mignola, Jim Lee and Kevin Eastmen. Wiesenfeld’s striking, large scale paintings are renowned for their dreamlike quality, often featuring evocative and solitary figures, whose presence suggests a general air of melancholy, isolation, and of leaving innocence behind. Before Wiesenfeld was an accomplished and acclaimed fine artist, he was a comic book artist whose brilliant art for Marvel’s Deathblow/Wolverine comic book earned him an Eisner Award nomination and his eye-catching comic book covers helped set the tone for the seminal series Y: The Last Man. Now the artist is once again experimenting with a new storytelling format with Playtime: The Post-It Note Drawings, a complete collection of Wiesenfeld’s ink drawings on Post-it notes, which have never before been published.


Wiesenfeld traditionally works in oil paint and charcoal drawing. His technique draws upon the traditions of master painters from history, though his subject matter is decidedly modern. Sometimes described as “liminal”, his young subjects are often placed in the ignored in-between places on the outskirts of cities. These settings are echoed by an unconscious “in-betweenness” in the young protagonists, who are adrift, indecisive, in peril, or in search of something.









I found my mail key, I lost it as of last Friday? I tore the car apart looking as that's where I keep it. looked everywhere! Well almost everywhere. I even asked St. Anthony for help, JoAnn Eyre said he always comes through, and I have to agree. 

I left a note for the mailman. He put all of accumulated mail in a bin at my front door and the reply to my note. 


He said to call a locksmith or 1-800-ASk-USPS. I was all set to do that today. but first, I wanted to get my laundry started. So when I got to the bottom of the basket, there it was! There's no reason why it
should be there, but oh, what a great relief. Thanks to St. Anthony and my mailman!

Jacki, here we also ask St. Anthony for help when we've lost something. My mother told me about him. Her family had a wooden figurine of St. Anthony who had to look to the wall until the lost thing was found - strange? I'm glad he helped you.
Have a good week ahead.

I’ve just about wore poor St. Anthony out, and he’s never failed me. Everything from glasses on my head to lost IPhone.

Oh, Elenor I love to hear about family traditions, I don't think it's strange, but charming? Please take good care and have a great week!

Thank you "A", I agree, and the way they turn up seems to often be humorous?
