Todays art of the day is from an artist out of Brussels, Belgium. She goes by the name 8pussy, and has a seriously unique, dynamic style. Her work is really tight and clean, but the colors are intense. This is the kind of art that reaches out and smacks you in the face.
There is so much I love about her work, but the thing that caught me first was the eyes. They look so perfect and real. I’m always waiting for them to start moving around in these images. She came up with a really killer piece for the B Movie show, even though i’ve only seen half of it so far. If you want to see more of her work, head on over to her homepage here:

Today’s art of the day is from Brandi Read, yet another amazing artist that will be showing work in the B Movie Show. Every time I see one of her new paintings I am always blown away. The backgrounds are often these extremely intricate patterns, she can paint cloth perfectly, and the figures always look so lifelike.
She painted an amazing piece for the show. I’m very happy to have her in the show to begin with, and then she paints a B Movie homage that the show wouldn’t be complete without. I’ll be making some prints from some of the works in the show, and her work is on the list.
Head on over and check out the rest of Brandi’s work here: Brandi Read homepage
This piece is actually available for sale at the Thinkspace Gallery. Here

Casey Weldon is having a spring print sale. I’m a huge fan of Casey’s work and have featured his prints three times now in my SFWeekly articles. His “At At” print made it in the best of “2007″ I wrote for the site.
The spring sale features a selection of eight prints, the At-At print included as well as two prints that are from the paintings he has in the “Toys!” show at the Gallery 1988. The “Viewmistress” (shown) piece was one of my favorites from the show, and now there is a print of it.
Head on over and take advantage of this sale, the prints are only $15 a pop!

Today’s art of the day is from Florida artist, Tatiana Suarez. This piece was for the “Sex and Science” show at the Bear and Bird gallery. They have had some pretty cool shows there, and Tatiana always makes some really killer paintings for these shows.
She has a great style that is instantly recognizable once you are exposed to her art. She is also one of the artists showing work in the upcoming “Attack of the B Movie” Art Show. I’m really happy to have her in the show, she made the coolest piece inspired by the “Crawling Eye”. For more of Tatiana’s work, head on over to her homepage and keep an eye for any shows she has work in.

The “Toys!” show that is going on at the Gallery 1988 in LA is now online for your viewing pleasure. All art inspired by the toys of our youth, if your that old, and also some customs celebrating Hot Wheels 40th.
Some really great art is in this show. I’m particularly fond of Camilla D. Errico’s paintings and those by Scott Scheidly, Johnny Crap, Davey Wong, Casey Weldon and of course those artists that were shown on the Creep Machine at one point such as Jim Harker, Allison Torneros, Lindsay Carr, Mark Brown & Shannon Bonatakis.
It’s a great show that brings up a lot of memories. I really hope they make a print of the Anthony Clarkson “Playtime’s Over” painting (shown). That “My Pet Monster” looks like he’s ready to bring the pain.
Check out the show here: Toys @ Gallery 1988

R.S. Connett has some really cool original paintings up for sale. 3 of them actually. The first one is “The Spy and the Dark City” (shown), its acrylic on masonite and has an amazing one piece wood frame. The painting is super detailed as well, we’re talking jewelers goggles detailed.
The other two paintings are “The Bone Factory” which is acrylic on canvas 18″ x 24″, and “Fly Eyes” which is a watercolor and gauche painting. I really dig the Bone Factory painting, whole layout and color scheme is amazing.
