Jon Whiddon, one of Georgia's great folk artists passed during the lunar eclipse in Feb. 2008. Jon was my "kind" of neighbor in north Georgia. He lived just a few miles away.
Jon's work can be purchased at Rib Country Restaurants in Murphy, North Carolina and Blairsville, Georgia as well as other galleries throughout Atlanta. Jon was cofounder of Whohadada, the famous outsider art group in Atlanta, GA. (http://www.whohadada.com/)
Jon you are sadly missed by everyone in the folk art world.
