I call this artist Slim Pickings, because that was his Instagram name when I first started writing about his work. Several changes to his Instagram account have followed since then, but I have stuck to the first. Most people refer to him (obviously) as TES.

There was a time when pretty much all of his pieces followed the same precise shape, with only a variation in colour and accessories. Now it feels like each new piece he paints is different from the last. These TES letters were painted for Shade One’s birthday, I think. While the composition is really nicely worked, the paint looks thin in places, giving it the impression of being a throw-up, but it is much more than that. Nice on from the No Frills writer.
Even with my magnifying glass I find it difficult to see the “E”. T & S are Ok. I guess it’s easier to read when you’re standing in front of it.
