The Beatiful Darkness of Chip Simons

By amanda up to 2007 (archives) • Nov 1st, 2007

What more can we say, Chip has been making images for a long while, always with one foot on the pillar of humor and the other in the sandpit of self-effacement, both mixing down, boiling, to the verge of intense imagery that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
