Arizona native Chad Little creates art that feels vintage but with a modern twist. His portraits are always a little awkward and a little off, but in a very good way. His colors give you the impression of old snaps, but there’s also something intimate about them. His poses aren’t quite candid, but my impression was that they’re paintings done from the rejected photos in a series. After a bit of hunting around the internet, I realized that’s exactly what they are!

Little hits yard sales and vintage/thrift shops, hunting for images that have some unintentional humor to them. Of course, this makes them extra interesting to me.
