How many art galleries invite and encourage you peek in their actual windows? When Joey Luong and Doug Gault first considered how they might transition from being art collectors into curators of art themselves, they determined very early that they wanted to locate themselves and their new gallery in an area that was historically underserved, and that their space would be an open, welcoming place where experienced collectors and casual observers would both feel at home. Their creation is Cufflink Art.

During my conversation with a legendary talent in pencil and mylar, a gentle giant named Marshall Harris, I felt surrounded by magic. Marshall, an imposing, statuesque presence with hands the size of a baseball catcher’s mitt, has made a name for himself by creating enormous, intricate, photorealistic drawings of horse saddles, as well as barbed wire and wood, elegant firearms, and other Western themed subjects.
