This image has long been a favorite--first saw Herold in this pose with that wood thing about 15 years ago. Petzel gallery has a jumbo, polished print version of the photo. This is my lo-fi scan version.

Haven't seen these paintings in person but they shine on the web. Some incorporate graffiti styles into conventional landscapes in successful, surprising ways. Severe clashes of painting styles or mindsets within a single image (the ol' semiotic investigation, but lyrical somehow) may be one of the things painting has left to do as visual culture is moving more to electrons and bytes.
