Stick Figure Wisdom

Stick figures and simple symbols become a canvas for profound emotions and subtle wisdom, provoking complex conversations that explore the depths of the human experience, in Stick Figure Wisdom: The Big Picture.
This expansive 11" x 8.5" landscape-mode coffee table book presents the evolution of my artistic journey in full. Here, you'll find everything from line art, sculptures, paintings, art photography, mixed media, and vibrant pop art prints that dance with color, to powerful political and protest art that sparks conversations. In The Big Picture, we venture beyond the tranquil realm of The Facts of Life to explore the bold and the eclectic. This collection serves as a testament to the boundless nature of artistic expression. It's an invitation to delve deeper into my narrative, revealing the broader palette I work with. If The Facts of Life provided you with a glimpse into my world, The Big Picture paints the comprehensive portrait.

A love of movies, art, and photography brought me to Los Angeles over thirty years ago. I moved from Chattanooga, Tennessee to Venice Beach and pursued a career in filmmaking, learning how to tell stories with pictures. In 2015, dismayed by the division surrounding me, I started my Stick Figure Wisdom series, expressing complex concepts with simple symbols. These modern-primitive pieces have shown in galleries in Los Angeles and Miami, and I was a featured artist in The Hive Gallery's "Rising Stars of L.A." show in 2017. A film titled George Hobbs: Stick Figure Wisdom has won numerous Best Documentary and Best Original Song awards, and will hopefully be coming to a screen near you soon.
