Thomas Doyle

It's been a little while since my last post, so hopefully I can make up for a little lost time with a good quality post today. This blog is about the miniature artist Thomas Doyle. I learned about this artist a few years ago in a magazine, probably Juxtapose or something similar. The bulk of Doyle's work is of miniature 1:43rd scale scenes and environments, typically inside a snow-globe like container. His attention to detail on such small objects is impressive. It seems like most of the subject matter in Doyles work has to do with family, community, and the home. His artist statement discusses the timelessness of the scenes in which his work takes places, and discusses that memory is a primary subject matter in his work. His website is really cool because each one of the pieces that is shown is usually represented from several angles. This is important because many of the scenes feature people hiding around corners or out of view from certain positions.

Well after spending some time I'm finding that I can't find a good way to show more of his work here on this blog. I'd recommend spending some time looking through each of the galleries for the Reclamations, Distillation, and Bearings series.
