I'd like to introduce you to an acquaintance of mine.  First introduced on the controversial MySpace, Gabe visited us this last winter for the 4th Avenue Street Fair and took some time to talk about his art.  He's a great guy and if you want a real treat, enter his name in the search bar at http://www.youtube.com and watch him paint in his studio.... in fast motion!  To view more of his work, visit http://www.gabeleonard.com 

Gabe Leonard was born and raised in Wyoming where he spent his childhood trying to skateboard on gravel roads in the summer and digging his parents car out of six foot snow drifts in the winter. He graduated from the Columbus College of Art and Design in 1998 with a bachelor of fine arts degree, which he is still paying for and will be to the ends of time. For the last eight years Gabe has lived in Los Angeles, California where he can often be found sleeping, thinking about taking long walks on the beach, being grateful he isn't stuck in traffic or in his studio painting until the sun rises.

Gabe works in a Nomadic Style. Nomadicism is defined by work that is constantly changing and evolving in technique, subject matter and genre. The high plains drifter of art is not confined to any one way of working and creates new collections, often unrealated to each other, on a regular basis.

  • Some of Gabe's clients include :Gyro World Wide Advertising, Read Magazine, Byron Priess Visual Publications, Paramount Studios, Artisan Entertainment, Rattlesnake and Venom Records, New Jersey Monthly and several Independent theater and film production companies.

  • Gabe's artwork has appeared on television in "Numbers" on CBS, "The Shield" on Fox FX and "Angel" on the WB

  • Gabe has exhibited at various galleries and juried exhibitions including:
  • Galleries
    The Society of Illustrators - New York city

    Copro Nason - Santa Monica, Ca
