Peanut Butter & Jelly Sandwich - Copyright Duane Keiser
Oddment means “a remnant or part of something, typically leftover from a larger piece.” I originally made these very small paintings on pieces of board leftover from my larger paintings. They are typically about 3″x2.5″. Link

Alex Grey was born in Columbus, Ohio on November 29, 1953 (Sagittarius), the middle child of a gentle middle-class couple. His father was a graphic designer and encouraged his son’s drawing ability. Young Alex would collect insects and dead animals from the suburban neighborhood and bury them in the back yard. The themes of death and transcendence weave throughout his artworks, from the earliest drawings to later performances, paintings and sculpture. He went to the Columbus College of Art and Design for two years (1971-73), then dropped out and painted billboards in Ohio for a year (73-74). Grey then attended the Boston Museum School for one year, to study with the conceptual artist, Jay Jaroslav. Link
