Today’s art of the day comes from Toby Stanger. He was going to be in the B Movie show, but unfortunately things came up. Hopefully he will be able to submit to the show next year, if I am able to do it again.
Toby has a really killer style, and you can see by this piece, a great imagination as well. I’ve seen a tye-dyed hippie stormtrooper, and even a pink Darth Vader, but never a tiki influenced pink stormtrooper. Just chillin, having a drink.
Check out of the rest of his work, and if your interested this painting is for sale.

John Cebollero has a sketchbook available on his site right now. The book was first released at the 2008 New York Comic Con, but for those of us that weren’t able to attend that function, we can get his book from his site.
The book is 24 pages, features 26 drawings and illustrations and is signed on the very first page. It also features a never before seen collaboration with Richard Corben. This sketchbook will set you back less than a meal at a fast food joint, so there is no reason to pass this up. These sketchbooks are limited an edition of 500.
Also, if you look in the Creep Machine store the painting that John submitted to the B Movie Show is still available. It’s quite an amazing painting, it really shows how great John is with paint and how much he rocks with ink.
Here is the roundup of some of the shows that will be opening up, or having their reception this weekend.
Lorri-Marie Jenkins will have her solo show at the Eclectix Gallery in El Cerrito. The show will feature some collage and found art. If you can stop by. Eclectix Gallery
Opening on Friday the 25th is a solo show of Roland Tamayo at the Gallery 1988 in SF. There will be paintings, drawings & prints there. Gallery 1988 SF
Also opening this Friday at the Space Gallery is a two person show “The Way of All Flesh”. It will feature art by Jesse Balmer & Ryan “Deli” De La Hoz. Both artists were in the B movie show, they made some killer art and I would love to see this show. There will be a photo collaboration, visual display and “Planets” will play at 9pm. Head on over if you can. Space Gallery SF
“Unfolding Nature” is a group show opening up this Friday as well at the Grind Gallery in L.A. The show will feature work by: Catherine Brooks, Francisco Enciso, Jim Darling and many others. Grind Gallery
“Menace & Charm: The Nostalgia Of Childhood” is a group show opening this Saturday at the Black Maria Gallery. The show “explores the dark and innocent cognitions of childhood.” It will feature work by: Jaime Zollars, Kathleen Lolley, Alex Noriega, Matt Burlingame, P. Williams, Leanne Biank, Juri Ueda, Aaron Hitchcock and CJ Metzger. This is a really killer idea for a show, wish I would have thought of it. The show is also online to view. Black Maria Gallery
“Vanity Bonfire” is a solo show of Sean Christopher opening this Saturday at the Corey Helford Gallery. This is Sean’s first solo show in Los Angeles. Check it out here: Corey Helford Gallery
Finally the Cannibal Flower gallery has a huge group show. The featured artist is Jose Carabes, there will also be living painting, music and performances. You can also see art by: Brandi Read, Bill McEvoy, Chris Peters and many more. Check it out: Cannibal Flower
I have a new article for the site, “How to prepare you art for show and sale”. It’s filled with some of the tips I was given by the amazing profs I have had so far, as well as some tips from some of the artists that I have been in contact with. I’m sure this article can be expanded on, so if you have anything to add please do so in the comments section of the article.
There is also a new poll going on as well. I plan on making some prints off of some of the works that were in the “B Movie” show. I would love to make some prints that are actually wanted, and not what I think people want. So this poll will give me a good idea on what works people are looking forward to seeing in print form. It’s not cheap doing this, so I would like to skip spending any unnecessary money on prints no one wants. So please take a look in the “Store” section, and then vote in the poll area on the main page off to the right there. So far it looks like people really dig R.M. Hanson’s “One of a Thousand Faces: Bloody London” painting (shown). It is a killer piece, and it’s still available for purchase if anyone wants the original.
This week features prints by: H.R. Giger, Jonathan Weiner, Natalie Shau, Arabella Proffer & Christina Beller.

David MacDowell has some new paintings available at the ThinkSpace Gallery. Four of them to be precise. “All of them Witches” has been there for a little bit, but there is now three new paintings. “Night of the Hunter”, “Welcome to the Terrordome” (shown) and the very cool “Oompa Loompacino”.
His work is getting more and more sought after, so I was pretty lucky to have two works of his in the B Movie Show. His paintings are really quite amazing to look at in person. Not only does he paint quick, but they are very clean and the colors are amazing. I don’t think pictures on the web will ever show how spectacular most of the work we see really is, and I know first hand that they don’t show how vibrant David’s works are.
If you look in the piece shown above, you will see a small version of the “Queen of the Deep” in it. His work is always a blast to look at, and I am getting quite anxious to see a solo show of his work.
Head over to pick up one of these pieces, or just to gawk at them: David MacDowell originals
Last night was the reception, and it was great. Matt Delight played some killer tunes. The Space Gallery did some live screen printing of the show poster, which was very cool. I also heard the video loop that was playing was pretty crazy, I’ll make sure to watch it later.
A good amount of the artists were there as well, Josh Callaway, Jesse Balmer, Ryan “Deli” De La Hoz showed up, and even a few flew in for the show like Drew Falchetta, R.M Hanson and Irene Mendonis. It was great being able to meet them all, as well as all the people who stopped to check out the show and said hi like Monica Choy and Paul Lewin, who by the way is an amazing artist as well.
Tonight is the very last night, so stop and buy and check out the art. After this night the art will only be available on the Creep Machine store, if you check it out right now a few pieces have sold already.
There area few good shows this weekend, wish that I had a few clones so I could see them all.
David Hochbaum has his solo show “Tracking Invisible Cities” at the Strychnin Gallery in London on Friday the 18th. This should be a great show, I like what David has been coming up with. Check it out Strychnin
Jeremiah Ketner has his solo show on Saturday at the M Modern Gallery in Palm Springs. The show is called “Another Tomorrow” and you can check it out at M Modern Gallery
There is also a group show called “Familiar Freinds” that will open on Saturday. It features work by Lisa Alisa, Erika Yamashiro, Cherri Wood and Lindsay Campbell. The show is taking place in Culver City at the Project Gallery LA
I’m also excited about the “5 Year Anniversary Show” at Varnish Art in San Francisco. The Reception is thi Friday at 7pm to 11pm. There will be some killer art there by: Chris Mars, Jennybird Alcantra, Chris Buzelli, Skot Olsen, Reuben Rude, KRK Ryden, Isabel Samaras and many more. Check out the show here Varnish Art
And, finally the opening reception of the “Attack of the B Movie Art Show” will go down at the Space Gallery in San Francisco. The gallery is located at 1141 Polk Street Map
The fun starts at 8pm and will go all night long. So if your over 21 please stop and by, look at some art and say hello. If you can’t make it, make sure you check out the Store on this site to see all the work.
