From far away, Eric Shideler's portrait of Josh looks like any other hum-drum drawing you've seen a dozen times. Upon getting a closer look, however, energetic squiggles become apparent, filling in the dull, boring places of the drawing.Eric Shideler's utilization of bright colors and make-up of squiggly lines lends a silly playfulness to his portait's demeanor. Shideler's neutral subject contrasts with his use of color and child-like doodling, his small smile humorized through Shideler's spontaneous creativity. What was once mundane and uninteresting gets a new spin, becoming worthy of it's super-sized display.
