Cate sent me a small package recently that included a recent issue of the Minneapolis Observer Quarterly. The MOQ used to be a free monthly but is now a paid quarterly, given as a gift from Cate's folks (thanks Rynda!). I like the rag, even though it makes me feel like an elite liberal. Its very MPR/Garisson Keiler/Kenwood in some ways.
In this most recent issue sent my direction, a Minneapolis based graphic artist, Adam Turman,

He also does a fair amount of work based on voluptous women. I don't like these nearly as much, I find them kind of... pointlessly sexist maybe? (can sexism have a point?) Maybe I'm just bothered because a man is making prints of women that I think are both sexy and art. Am I such a prude as this? The women are as similarly artificial as barbie dolls. It bothers my inner feminist.

Despite these reservations about this part of his work, I still really dig on his stuff. Below are a few favorites of mine, and a couple of new prints that are just outstanding for many reasons.

The above is beloved.

I wonder if this guy Adam Turman is my friend from high school Karen's brother, cuz that was his name. Hmm, interesting. Cool stuff!
yes, it is karen's bro. i read somewhere he's from edina. he was a tangents artist.
I like how the girl in front of first ave looks so clean cut and yet seems to be missing some teeth.
