Amy Zurcher of shopSCAD introduced me to the work of Leslie Hall, an artist best known for her flashy gold pants and killer hand-beaded gem sweaters. She is also an awesome rapper/singer, performance artist, and painter! She paints incredible backdrops for her performances which she later sells. A few are still available here and here! I'd wear gold lame everyday for an original Leslie Hall painting! Check out all her sites and videos for a huge dose of mid-western mayhem! Don't miss the Gallery of Glamore! (I swear I recognize some of them!)
