Ian Carpenter is a Brooklyn based artist whose paintings are filled with wonderful vibrant colors. Check out his work and interview with The Artful Desperado (that’s me!).

Hey Ian, where are you from?

Brooklyn by now – but before that many places going back to Thailand.

What do you think will happen in 2012? A: Doomsday, B:Mental/Spiritual change in mankind, C: Nothing

I would think B since mankind is always evolving. So yes hopefully not doomsday or nothing. Mankind is the ongoing high wire between those two.

If right now you could steal a piece of art from someone, who would it be?

Right now I like Petra Cortright’s work. I saw it on the site here. So yes I could steal me one of those.

Yep, I’d steal one of those too. Thanks for visiting the site, Ian.
