Congratulations! You’ve found a weird corner of the internet where art and dumb things coexist. Schliefkevision is the online home of Kansas City painter Michael Schliefke. In addition to monthly studio updates, online portfolio and all the other trappings you’d expect on an artist website, there’s a bunch more stuff here added continuously.
You’ll find art reviews, trip reports, and odd writings from whatever thing is taking up too much of Michael’s brain space when he sits down to write. There’s also links to private art classes for anybody looking to learn to paint or draw. So spend some time on the site and look around.
Here are some recent links and categorized posts to get you going:
