Collin Gow, C.N.C.

This book is an assemblage of the many years of artworks done by Collin Gow, C.N.C.. Collin's art encompasses a multitude of styles including crummy, outsider, ignorant, sketchy, primitive, shitty, scratch paper, gonzo, street, cartoon, abstract, graphic, graffiti, pop, ball-point pen, rollerball, pencil, stencil, and portrait art. The majority of the artworks contained within are of the graphic design, ball-point pen, and painting type. However, mediums such as photography, sculpture, beads, fashion, and others can be found inside as well. Collin's art is generally aphoristic, often with meaningful quotations appearing in it, and covers subjects such as philosophy, genius, greatness, art, happiness, studying, love and relationships, music, movies, kids, skateboarding, holistic health, nutrition, nature, naturevore, naturotheology, astrology, astrotheology, numerology, science, numbers, spirituality, and more. Similarities could be pointed out between Collin's art and the art of Daniel Johnston, Mark Gonzales, Shel Silverstein, Ralph Steadman, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Tai Taeoalii. Other heroes or influences include Picasso, Kandinsky, Michelangelo, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ian Gow, Warhol, Chuck Close, Da Vinci, Pollock, and Dali. Collin pales in comparison to these greats, but I am confident that the shear amount, uniqueness, profundity, depth, and meaningfulness of his art will be held in high regard by those who come after him.
