Gallery Show at the Intercontinental Hotel in Milwaukee

I've been running a show in the main gallery at the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Milwaukee, featuring ten of my paintings. The show will be running until mid/late January 2008. The hotel also features some cool upscale restaurants and cocktail lounges including Kil@wat, Clear, and Zen Den. You can view some pictures from this show and previous shows at billoneil.com

Dreaming of Fairytales

These whimsical illustrations were inspired by the avant garde Soviet constructionist style of children's books from the 1920's and 1930's --- although this illustration was intended to be more playful and energetic!
I remember loving the woodblock prints in children's fairy tales more than the stories themselves – the chaos, subtle hidden elements, the mystery and action. And how every time I would look at them I would find something new.

These cubist inspired limited edition prints are available for purchase at Etsy.com
