I would like to welcome the newest sponsor to the site, Beard and Bird Boutique & Gallery. They are located in Lauderhill, Florida and are on offshoot of Tate’s Comics and Toys. The gallery puts on all sorts of great art shows, shows that feature Florida based artists only and themed group shows that feature artists from all over the country. For the rest of the month that have a self portrait show that is all from local artists. Make sure you stop by to see the great exhibitions they have, as well as prints and original work they have in the online store.

Just in the past few days I posted a new painting that Michael Shapcott released, well he also just updated his Etsy site with some older work at lowered prices so that he can make room. Some of the paintings are pretty big, like 43″ x 63″ and smaller ones like “Firefly” (shown) at 12″ x 16″.

Mike Leavitt made an amazing figure of Chet Zar for his Art Army series. The figure is 10″ tall, and is an articulating polymer clay action figure. The mask comes off and shows Chet’s face underneath. The figure comes in either a blister pack or glass display dome. This is an amazing figure and anyone who loves the work of Chet Zar would be lucky to snag this up.

Head on over and check it out.
