I’ve just put up a banner to promote the work of Dale Moses, a gay, Dallas-based artist. I like his work a lot. With bold colors and simple shapes, it has appeal for both adults and children, and hopefully for many Mombian readers and their families. Moses paints dogs, cats, rubber duckies, crayons, shoes, tops, fruit, flowers, and other everyday objects with a sense of fun and whimsy that never strays into “cutesy.” He sees “diversity” as fundamental to his eclectic style.
Donald Trump has purchased Moses’ work for his developments, but Moses’ limited-edition Giclée prints are actually very affordable to us mere mortals. I think they’d make thoughtful, unique baby gifts, since they’re the kind of images that appeal from infancy to adulthood. They’d be equally appropriate as graduation, anniversary, or holiday presents. Buy one for yourself or a friend. (Full disclosure: I do get a percentage of Moses Art sales made through Mombian, but I wouldn’t sell it if I didn’t like it.)
