Best New Visual Artist Of Chicago? Gee, Thanks!

 Dear Fans,


   I want to thank you personally for voting and naming me the Best New Visual Artist of Chicago of 2012 in the prestigious Chicago Reader. It's truly an honor to be named the best of a city in a popular newspaper with a circulation close to 100,000 (not including website visits).

  It's hard enough being an artist, let alone an artist whose main focus are the horror and fantasy genres. To be chosen while dealing with that subject matter is just astounding. I'm not one of those types who subscribe to the "splash and splatter" philosophy so prevalent in the modern art movement, and in doing so, I'm sure that I have quite a few nay-sayers and ill-will wishers. That's fine. My work isn't for everyone. It's for me. and most definitely, it's for YOU.
 
 I never thought I'd be chosen for such an outstanding title and I owe it all to YOU, my amazing fans, friends, and collectors! Thank you so very much. I'm humbled and inspired.

Just wait to see what I've got in store for you in the future months!


Warmest Wishes And Regards,
      G. Edwin Taylor


   P.S. I want to extend a personal thank you and congratulations to Gallery Provocateur who gave me the chance and believed in me. The gallery also was named Best Established Gallery, Best Underground Art Space and it's Halloween show (of which I had seven works in) was named Best Exhibit!

  P.P.S. I also wish to extend my congratulations to the Runners Up Meaghan Garvey and Amanti House!
