About Tyler Friend Books
I'm a serotinal, middle of the night, cool blacktop walk. I'm a disemboweled dictionary. I'm a sloth in the aviary. I enjoy working with both traditional and digital mediums, and mixing them in experimental ways. I have a passion for color and like to explore texture. I'm very preoccupied with the balance of order and chaos, and most of my pieces try to incorporate both precision and freedom. I also have a preoccupation with the relationship between the natural, spiritual, and human worlds; my works often combine elements of portraiture, landscape, and abstraction. They often touch on themes of identity, gender, sexuality, community, and isolation. I have been published in Generation magazine, and have exhibited at Firstlight Arts Academy, The Saint Vincent Gallery, and Art All Night. http: //www.tylerfriend.com
