If I Google HG2 3RH, I can see a photo of my mother’s house in England.  If I Google the 75056 zip code, I can see my best friend’s house in Texas.  But if I Google “black and white art,” what do you think I get?

Photographs.  Black and white photographs.  Beautiful, exquisite even, but I was looking for black and white artwork.  Pencil, pen and ink, charcoal...

If you’re reading this, I’m guessing we’re on the same page about black and white art.  As in, we like it.  So where is it?

Why is it so hard to find?  We can’t be the only ones who don’t need the support of color to fall in love with a piece of art.  There must be other folks who like the challenge of getting there with only light, shadow and texture to guide them. 

I’m betting when you first fell in love, it was with the girl or guy who was hard to get.  Sure, the flashy ones were fun, but they didn’t reach in and grab a piece of your heart.

And I’m thinking it’s not news to you that when you DO finally hunt down some black and white art, it’s always good stuff.  Maybe because we have to work harder to get your attention, just like back in ninth grade.  Only without the acne and sweaty palms.

Tell you what.  I’m going to fix you up with an introduction to some really incredible charcoal work.  Call it my first step towards getting black and white art the SEO recognition it deserves.  Plus it’ll give you a break on all that legwork as well.  The Waichulis Studio.
