ABOUT THE ART

Walter Gabrielson (1935–2008) 'Poker Faces' series playfully reimagines classic playing-card iconography through bold color, exaggerated character design, and a sly sense of humor. Works such as 'River Rat' and 'The Nuts!' take familiar card symbols—aces, kings, suits—and reinterpret them with expressive personalities and narrative flair. Rather than the stoic imagery traditionally found in decks, Gabrielson’s characters come alive with attitude, irony, and a whimsical storytelling quality. Each piece visually riffs on poker terminology, merging wordplay with dynamic illustration to create art that appeals equally to collectors, card players, and lovers of graphic design.

The large-scale lithographs are produced with meticulous craftsmanship, printed in rich, saturated tones and crisp lines that echo the refined techniques of vintage commercial illustration. Their framing as oversized playing cards creates immediate visual impact, while the humorous details invite closer inspection. As a series, 'Poker Faces' embodies Gabrielson’s gift for blending fine-art printmaking with pop-culture themes, resulting in work that is both accessible and artistically sophisticated.

ARTIST BIO

Walter Gabrielson (1935–2008) was an American painter, printmaker, and illustrator known for his vibrant approach to narrative imagery and his ability to fuse wit with fine-art technique. Educated at the University of Southern California and later a professor at Pepperdine University, Gabrielson cultivated a career that bridged studio art, graphic design, and teaching. His work reflects a deep engagement with classic American illustration, comic sensibilities, and a mastery of traditional printmaking methods, most notably multi-color hand-separated lithography.

Throughout his career, Gabrielson exhibited widely and was celebrated for his lively visual language, which combined precision draftsmanship with playful storytelling. His prints and paintings often portrayed anthropomorphic characters, humorous cultural references, and imaginative reinterpretations of familiar symbols—qualities that earned him a dedicated following among collectors. The 'Poker Faces' series, created in the mid-2000s, stands as a prime example of his ability to merge humor, craftsmanship, and popular iconography into enduring works of contemporary American art.

Lighter shea butter lotion frugal makes skin dewy
i purchased this a month ago here is what i found it is a lighter lotion it's not as light as cerave daily as it has shea butter but if you like lotions that soften i would recommend this one it does work magic on the skin and is frugal pump works well it does is good for my very sensitive skin bottle size is good it it's over all great value it seems watery but does absorb not in rapid speed but any you would think with shea, shea does soften skin but it doesn't go in too deep into the layers by default so think of that but over all i would say it's a great all year round skin softening protectant

no substitute for Aveeno
Pros: There's no smell (yay--I don't get why folks say it smells like oatmeal; it doesn't, it just smells like it doesn't have perfume added), and it spreads well. BUT: it's too thin and doesn't last well enough. Had my first eczema flair in years while using this. I'm going back to Aveeno fragrance-free. At least I tried.

its ok
its ok, has a lot of chemicals in it, but not 2% of colloidal oatmeal which is recommended for an eczema lotion. i like this brand because its cruelty free but this is not great for eczema. i actually like that it is not thick, but it doesnt calm my dry itchy skin very much.

It’s a great all-round lotion, it does what it says it does.
It is one of the lightest moisturizers I’ve used, perfect for whole body. Though, naturally, using more makes it more moisturizing, and it does have a big pump. It spreads and absorbs well. It is not sticky, but silky. It calms itchy, irritated skin. It’s pH-balanced. It has very nice ingredients. It has a lot of nutrients skin needs. It is fragrance-free, though the aromatic alcohol preservatives impart a slight rose-almond odor. It’s a good price. It’s a nice bottle and pump. However, it would be nice if it were more reliably and widely available.
