Arthur Simone grew up wanting to be a cartoonist but fell in love with the heightened expression of line and color from painters like Roberto Matta and Hassel Smith. Since moving to Texas, he’s been gradually trading his palette of cadmium reds and yellows for cool greys and cobalt blues. In addition to recognition as a painter (finalist for 2007 Hunting Prize), Arthur performs and teaches improv at the new ColdTowne Theater, won this year’s O’Henry Pun-Off and went to New York to represent Austin in the national Air Guitar Championships.
