The newest sponsor to the site is artist Arabella Proffer. She has had work featured on the site quite a few times, and even had a couple of paintings in the “Attack of the B Movie Show” that I curated a while back. She has a very unique style, as you can see in the painting shown “St. Lorelei, Patron Saint of High-End Haircare”. The colors in her work are vibrant, and I love the influence that Tamara de Lempicka has had as seen with the hands.

Head on over and check out the rest of her artwork: Arabella Proffer Homepage

Ben Tour currently has a painting up for sale. The painting is from his “Electric Orphans” series, this one is “Orphan I”. The painting is ink and crayon on paper, 23″ x 30″ and framed. You can also see in the image that the edges of the paper are all nicely deckled. It looks amazing in that frame. Every painting from that series is great, but this one is really just perfect looking. Something about the colors and energy in the way Ben puts the ink on the paper, along with that expression the model has, really makes this painting special.

If your interested in snagging this one up, get in touch with Ben here: mistertour@gmail.com

Coming this Saturday June 20th to Sloan Fine Art in New York is a solo show featuring new works by Jonathan Viner. The show is entitled “Harem” and is all 12″ x 12″ oil and panel portraits of girls lost in the music they are listening to, all through headphones. Two of these paintings, “Katenka” and “Yelena” are available as prints from his online store as posted earlier. The paintings look amazing, the colors are all very similar and minimal but have this dreamy quality to each one.

Julian Callos is an illustrator out of Los Angeles. He just graduated from Otis, and now has a print available from A Paper Tiger. Being noticed so quickly out of college, it’s not going to long before we see his work in galleries all over the place. The print is 8″ x 8″, signed and numbered in an edition of 10. Here is what the artists says about the print:
“This piece reflects the age-old conflict between man and nature. The Forest King represents the spirit of the forest. He has been felled by human weaponry, signifying the conquest and inevitable destruction of nature by man.”

Birdbath Publishing has released a new print by Michael Hussar. The print is “Pope Innocent XXX”, based off of a 10″ x 15″ oil on wood painting from 2006. The print is a giclee on archival paper, 13″ x 18″, titled, signed and numbered in an edition of 88. The print also comes with a certificate of authenticity for $350. Like all of the prints that Birdbath releases, this one is sure to look amazing. This is a great image, I don’t imagine this one will last long at all.
