I won't count the serious, "grown up" art that would bore most everyone on EB (Florida Highwaymen paintings and the like). My first lowbrow/street/urban/new contemporary OG is a very large Jerome Mesnager acrylic on a coffee sack from Kenya. I'm currently using it as my avatar.

Image and Image from Scott C's last show.

I also got the Hellboy OG, but it showed up later so I don't have a pic handy. :D

Don't know who the artist is… still one of my favorite things though.

My first OG was this Miss Bugs piece. I'm not sure it's "significant" in the greater scheme of things, but it was significant for me in that it changed my collecting focus from prints to OGs. I also like that it's such a declaration of Miss Bug's approach to art..."Nothing New Just Development".

Happy New Year!

Didnt know much about DAL at the time, stumbled across his show in Melbourne. And instantly was attracted to this.
