A co-worker recently turned me onto this guy. I am seriously digging on his portrait style of painting.

Travis rocks! I picked up an original from his Copro show a couple months ago. It gets more comments from visitors than anything else in my collection.

Travis is a really nice guy - we have a few pieces of his and he has super awesome dogs!

His work is amazing. I was even more impressed when I saw them at Copro several months ago. The frames add that extra touch which is nice.

I just bought my first Louie piece from the Crazy 4 Cult show. I have been looking at his pieces for a while. I really like his stuff it is unique and Stunning. Plus it has to be a great conversation piece in any house!

I'm loving this guy's work at the moment. I love the alternate reality his images conjure in my head and don't know why more people don't rave about his paintings.

You can grab some of his prints at the moment on the circusposterus site and via the capro nason gallery site.

that guy's stuff is amazing! I really dig his monsters. Plus, I have even seen him add the
shadow of the frame in his paintings. Mind Boggling :rolleyes:

My sister introduced me to Travis Louie: She saw his work in 'Hi-Fructose' and loved it:
He has wonderful detail and character in his work~
