Johnny Crap, or Jonathan Bergeron, has added some new drawings to his online shop. The works are all ink on Aquabee or bristol paper, and range in sizes. The drawings look amazing, and really show how skilled Johnny is with ink. The drawings are all under $100 and I’m sure will go fast. I especially like Darth Vato, Zombie Viking, and Wolfman Baseball shown below.

Alamo Drafthouse/Mondotees have just released three new posters. Two are based on the movie The Warriors, and the third is based on George Romero’s newest installment of the “Dead” series, Survival of the Dead. This poster is made by Charlie Adlard, the artist behind the amazing Walking Dead comic, although I did like the previous pencil work of Tony Moore when the series first started.

John Larriva (previously featured) has added some new work to his homepage and etsy site. Along with new oil paintings, he has also released some sculptures. I have been a fan of his work since the moment I saw “Lithium Lynn.” Each of his paintings are filled with color, and the way he handles the paint is outstanding.
I haven’t posted an Art of the Day image for a while as I have been finishing up school, but I am now nearing the end and what to get this section going again. So todays painting is from Peter C Matthews, an artist out of South Africa. Most of his work is figural in a variety of mediums, with some landscapes and wildlife as well. “Girl in the Window” is based off a photo he found on the internet, and recreated in oil. The image is very mysterious and ghostly, and in a way has a tenebrous style to it. I would love to see Matthews do a whole series of portraits in this style.

This Sunday, May 23rd Jeremy Geddes will be releasing a new print. ““Small White Cosmonaut” is 13″ x 13″, signed and numbered in an edition of 200 for $95 AUD (roughly 80 USD). Jeremy is a phenomenal painter, and this print is one of the cheapest ones he has released lately. The pose is very reminiscent of “Resurrection” paintings made from the Renaissance. I can’t put my finger on which one exactly.

Curated by Jan Corey Helford, this past May 15th marked the opening of the “Art From the New World” group exhibition at the Bristol City Museum & Art Gallery. This show will run until August 22nd, but for those of us that aren’t able to see it in person, we now have some images of the art and even behind the scenes photos of the preparation and build up to opening day (see here).
Last year the Bristol City Museum featured the works of Banksy, and during the course of the exhibition over 300,000 visited the museum. Now for the “Art From the New World” show, there have been over 5,000 visitors in the first 6 days of the opening. This is not only a very exciting show, but an important one for the future of the art we love so much. Originally referred to as a scene filled with “illustrators”, this art is now gaining more momentum than ever. Museums are taking notice, and the fan-base is becoming larger than ever. There is some amazing work in this show, from artists such as Kent Williams, David Stoupakis, Joe Sorren, Brandi Milne, Buff Monster, Camille Rose Garcia, Dave Kinsey, Travis Louie, Mercedes Helnwein, Ray Ceasar, Sas Christian, Melissa Forman, Jason Shawn Alexander, Dave Cooper, Liz McGrath, Mike Stilkey, Gary Baseman, Craola, Luke Chueh, Coop, Natalia Fabia, Chris Anthony, AJ Fosik, Joe Ledbetter, Todd Schorr, Van Arno, Martin Wittfooth, Josh Agle, Lola, Sylvia Ji, Marion Peck, Mark Ryden and many more. How is that for a lineup? I really wish this show was going to travel and come to some museums here in the states. Take a look at the preview images here, and then head over for the full preview.

There is a new print by Tara McPherson. A series of Lost inspired posters have been dropping, each one designed by a different artist. So far prints from Daniel Danger, Jeff Soto and now Tara McPherson have been added to the site. This new one is a 6 color screenprint 24″ x 18″, signed and numbered in an edition of 500 for $50 each.

Ruadh DeLone is a photographer out of Rheden, Netherlands. He started out drawing as a child and then moved to photography in 2007. His work focuses on portraiture with a bit of surrealism. DeLone has quite a few series of works; one inspired by his inspiration from Dutch Baroque painter Johannes Vermeer, and another series entitled “Vergänglichkeiten” which I believe means ‘transiency.’ This series features figures with the face slightly obscured by plastic, and a ghostly image of skulls and bones overlaid on the face. Check out his homepage and Behance portfolio for more work.
