Like a pair of double rainbows, Jeff's pen-and-ink sketches are both 
rare and the product of sun fighting shadow. When we first saw them, we 
were drawn to the repetition and patterns, the general sense of 
figuration, but now, now we just think of how, one time, we fed nutrient
 solution to a plastic cup full of citrine dust. Crystals were supposed 
to grow, and they did grow--a lame film of dust--but we expected a whole
 world to miraculate in our cup, and for it to be both as foreign and 
comforting as these sketches. 
Jeff Ausura has a fondness for squirrels, so we've been told. He's a designer and a sometime-teacher. He rocks. See him rocking here with his band, Never Give a Goat the High Ground, in the Mephistopholean glow of Budweiser stadium.
Jeff also makes beautiful lithographs, which you can view here.
