I just found this on the web, and then directly after saw it on Juxtapoz, and for all the Star Wars and art geeks out there this will be cool.
The Vader Project looks to be quite similar to modified dunny shows, in that a group of artists will modify a vader helmut how they see fit. The list of artists is great: Attaboy, Tim Biskup, Roman Dirge, Jeff Soto, Alex Pardee and so on. As it states on the site “After the premiere at Celebration IV the plan is for exhibition to travel to museums, galleries, and events around the world. The helmets will then be offered publicly at auction. Details will be announced later.”
So you might just get a chance to see it in person, or like me most likely just have to look at what will be on the webpage.

Today’s image is from an artist that calls himself “Beloved-Creature”, I know nothing more than that.
Either way, its the image that matters and this one is quite cool looking. I love the brushwork that you can see on this one. It always amazes me how cool digital painting can be, I think it’s a skill that is great alongside traditional painting.

This piece was basically made because the artist couldn’t use his computer, so he sat down and just drew what came to mind. It looks great, I love the facial expression and the linework.
Check out this artists website for even more amazing works.

I can’t believe I didn’t know about this. DvA Gallery started an “Auction for Art Education” back in January. Artists send in paint brushes that they have used, often with prints, and then on Saturday June 23rd DvA Gallery will have a show with all the brushes framed up, as well as having a 7 day auction for the brushes.
100% of the proceeds go to help art education, for victims of natural disasters to help them rebuild art in their area. Sounds like a worthy cause to me.
Head on over to the page to see who’s contributed so far, Audrey Kawasaki, Lori Early, Ryan Heshka, Scott Musgrove, Anthony Ausgang, John John Jesse, Shag, Mark Ryden, etc etc. Lots of great artists and I’m sure there will be more. This seems to be shaping up t be as cool as the “Paint By Numbers” charity that was put on by the Corey Helford Gallery.
I’ll be following this one.

There are two Audrey Kawasaki prints up right now.
The first one is “Nest Hair”, and is a giclee of 100, 23×18
The second one is “YUME NO ATO” also a giclee edition of 100, 13×16.
I like the second one the best, I also really like the price of it, if it stays low that is.

There is a Tim Biskup screen print for sale right now, I wasn’t really into his work previously, but it has grown on me.
This piece is called “Deathbot” and is from an edition of 150. Its 9×11, and is pretty well priced.
Check it out, Deathbot auction

If your in the San Jose, or need an excuse to go, there is a great show at the San Jose Museum of Art. Camille Rose Garcia is having a show there.
The Opened yesterday (I’m late) and will run until September 23. So you have some time. I plan on heading out to this one. Her work is so energetic, I would love to see what she does with acrylic, and not on a computer monitor.
The image above is a print that will be available at the museum. It’s a 30×40 giclee print and is entitled “Black Dawn Rising”. You can also order them online.
Either way, go see the show.

I haven’t chose a photomanipulation yet, and this is one that I liked very much. It looks great, the manipulation of it, is very smooth. It has a nice dark feel to it.
Head on over to the artists site and see more like this.
