Letter Presses has two new Artists Series cards up for pre-order. The first series of cards is from Netherlands bases artist duo Sauerkids. It features their very popular “Bogger” character. The print is in gold ink, and while I’m not the biggest fan of gold these cards look amazing and the gold really fits. The second series is from designer Jeremyville. Both series are limited to 500 hand-numbered cards, with 35 hand signed cards.
Head on over to grab either one of these sets. Letter Pressed Artist Series Cards

Today’s piece is from Montral based tattooist David R. Choquette. Most of his paintings and drawings are quite small, but they are packed with details. From his bio on the Beinart site, it says that he obsesses over every square inch. I can believe that, if you look close at his work there is amazing texture and subtle details. For instance, the skin in this piece looks like you can see the blue tint of blood beneath the flesh.
His work has that same kind of haunting feel and vibe that Chet Zar, Karl Persson & even Zdzislaw Beksinski has. David is also one of the artists that will be showing work at the Attack of the B Movie show. I’ve been able to see the piece that will be in the show and it looks amazing. Just to give a teaser, the piece David is showing is based on “Killer Klowns From Outer Space”.

Scott French is selling one of his smaller figure studies. Instead of having the piece in the galleries he regularly shows at he is offering this painting for a much cheaper price.
It’s oil on canvas and is 8″ x 10″. Scott is an amazing painter and this study really shows how in tune he is with the figure and his amazing brushwork. This painting was done in only 30 minutes. My favorite part has to be the hair, it’s so wild and dynamic. This is really a great piece.
Grab it Here

Tanya was cool enough to make a video showing her working process, and it just so happens to be one of the pieces in the B Movie Show. It’s from the movie “Maniac” and it looks amazing. I wish I could use watercolors with such confidence. She’s just laying it down with no worries.
To check out the video, please head over to the “Attack of the B Movie Art Show” page. This way the video won’t slow down the loading of this page. You can also see an updated list of the participating artists and grab some buttons and banners if you want to help spread the word.

Today’s piece is from Janine A Perry, who up until a while ago was working in in the advertising world. She decided the corporate world wasn’t for her so she made a change, and is now concentrating on her art. Looking at her art I think it was a wise decision.
She has an amazing surreal style to her paintings, I can already imagine some of the galleries that will be interested in showing her work. She is also quite skilled with drawings as well. If you head over to her site you can see all of the work she has done so far, and even pick up a print of her amazing pencil work.
Keep an eye on her here:

One of the artists that will be showing work in the “Attack of the B Movie Art Show” is Dienzo. He’s an amazing artist and I’m excited to have him on board.
He currently has prints available on his site, but he has also just released some open-edition prints. So if you’re looking for some art, but wouldn’t mind it being way more affordable, head on over to to his ebay site. He has a huge amount of prints available. The one shown above is “Leonard Searching”, I love the expression in this one. The print is 10″ x 12.5″ with a 2″ border.

And if you would rather have the limited edition prints that are also a signed and numbered, check out his homepage.

I don’t post enough sketches as art of the day, so here is one by Laura Wächter an artist out of Spain.
Laura has an amazing style. Her work has that timeless quality to it, much like Scott Radke, Claudia Drake & Cristina Beller has. Your just not sure what era it comes from, which ads to the overall surreal quality of it. I love the expression on her face in this one.
For more of Laura’s work heck out her homepage here:

If your like me you missed the opportunity to go to the “Revelations” workshop put on by Conceptart.org, where one of the many artists teaching there was Michael Hussar. It was a great opportunity, and you can see what you missed in these photos by Phil Holland.
It now looks like there will be another chance, this time in Pasadena instead of Seattle. Michael Hussar will be teaching a 3 day painting workshop the end of this month. The workshop will be taking place the weekend of the 28, 29 & 30th. More details will be announced, but I imagine if you want to go to this, do not wait. Head on over to BirdBath Publishing and reserve your spot now. This is a great opportunity to learn from such an amazing painter. Make sure to message me and brag if you go.
3-Day Painting Workshop Pre-Order
On a side note, it looks as though there is a “Hans Memling” and “Daddy’s Little Girl” print for sale as well.
