About

Hugh MacLeod has a gift that millions of people have discovered. This is the ability to take the most complex subjects: Emotions, Business Challenges, Angst, Love, and reduce these feelings into a few words and some scribbles. The effect can be devastatingly funny, or deeply poignant, but either way Hugh's laser sharp wit and insight impacts profoundly.

Until recently, one could not buy Hugh's artwork. They were given away to friends or as part of private events. Nevertheless, they have always been in demand and often traded.

Hugh's blog, www.gapingvoid.com has been one of the most trafficked independent blogs ever written. Readers have been asking Hugh for years to make some of his images available for sale.

The first few print editions sold out almost overnight on their pre-publishing offers, and Hugh set aside a few prints from each edition to offer to new readers.

Hugh's work is now being collected by a who's who of marketing, advertising and tech executives as well as geeks around the world. It is being hung in boardrooms, bedrooms and we imagine, a few bathrooms.

He believes that value over time will be enhanced by keeping costs down, selling directly to collectors and keeping things simple. Hugh does corporate commissions and also does a very limited number of large canvases.
