Todays piece is from an artist out of Calgary, Canada. He studied at the Alberta College of Art and Design and graduated with Distinction.
He recently moved his website around and added more work to it, and while looking around I was really caught by the piece shown. It’s oil on canvas and is a very large 84″ x 72″. I really like the mix of the figure and the abstract kind of texture that the figure is emerging from. This is one of the main reasons I love the work of Ian Francis, but with the work of Mike Binzer it is a little more textural. He also has quite a large amount of work to be seen on his website, so head on over and take a look.

Today’s piece is from Molly Brill aka Mocabri. She has a killer style, each piece is literally stuffed with texture. I love the look of watercolor that has been used in this way, I’m sure many of you have heard me say this a hundred times.
This specific piece was made using watercolor, watercolor pencils, acrylics and charcoal. The colors are pleasing and I love the contrast of the well rendered face, contrasted with that explosion of color and texture that surrounds it. Molly has been doing this for a bit, but is still really just getting started. I know a good amount of artists, including myself that would have loved to have such a hold on their style at such a young age. I’m really excited to see how she grows in the coming years. Expect to see amazing work from her.
She now has a carbonmade profile so you can see all of her current work, and keep up with new work. Check it out here

Today’s art of the day comes from Toby Stanger. He was going to be in the B Movie show, but unfortunately things came up. Hopefully he will be able to submit to the show next year, if I am able to do it again.
Toby has a really killer style, and you can see by this piece, a great imagination as well. I’ve seen a tye-dyed hippie stormtrooper, and even a pink Darth Vader, but never a tiki influenced pink stormtrooper. Just chillin, having a drink.
Check out of the rest of his work, and if your interested this painting is for sale.

After this week finishes, I’m going to get back to posting some of the art that is sent to me daily. For now though we have another artist that has work in the B Movie show, Jason Rudolphpena.
Jason has a really killer style, and like Michael Shapcott he also makes videos showing his painting process. I really wish more artists did this, but we have Jason and sites like SketchTheatre to share with us the process of making these works.
Jason’s painting for the show is a portrait of Schlitzie (Simon Metz), a Sideshow performer that is most known for his role in the 1923 film “Freaks”. The color scheme is identical the piece featured here. You can actually purchase the painting above at the Crybaby Gallery in New Jersey, and of course see the b Movie painting at the show and in the Creep Store.
Head on over to Jason’s site to see some of the videos he has made, and all of the work he has done, and if you look around his site you’ll actually be able to see the Schlitzie piece.

This is the week that the B Movie show is going on, so for art of the day we have another artist that is in the show. This piece is from R.M. Hanson, an artist out of Minnesota.
This is his first gallery show and I’m really excited to have his work in it. The painting he submitted is amazing, it’s one of the works that I am going to try to get some prints made as I’m pretty sure a good majority of people will want a copy of this one. His whole gallery is great looking and I can’t wait to see all the new work he comes out with in the next year.
Head on over to his homepage and check out his gallery, and make sure you get to the Reception this Friday to see his painting in person. It’s well worth it.

Today’s art of the day is from John Cebollero. He has done work for DC, Marvel,Cartoon Network & Topps. His work at Topps was for the “Hollywood Zombies” cards, and John’s work was by far my favorite of the set.
His work is wonderfully nostalgic, and to me represents the best of what you can find when looking at art by Bill Ward, old Mad Magazines and Garbage Pail Kids. His pencil works are amazing and his acrylic works are amazing, and his acrylic paintings such as the one he has showing in the B Movie show, has David Macdowell and I trying to sell some blood so we can have split custody with it.
John also just updated and redid his website. So you can now head on over, take a look at his work and maybe buy a print once he has that section updated. John Cebollero homepage

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

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.

Today’s piece is from John Waterson otherwise known as Blutack. Sadly, John passed away March 13th, I just found out this past weekend. He was insanely talented and I was so looking forward to seeing his art spread through the art world. One look at his gallery and it’s quite clear to see that it was only a matter of time before he was at the top. He was only 23 years old, it’s hard to imagine how amazing his work would have been in later years.
I exchanged words with him just a few times, so while I can’t say that we were friends I can say I was a huge fan of his work. Check out his gallery here: John Waterson Gallery

With the B Movie show approaching quickly, I thought I would use the Art of the Day section to start featuring art from the participating artists of the show. I’ve seen a majority of the art for the show, and I’m blown away. There is some really amazing work and it has all far exceeded my expectations for this show.
So today’s piece is from Alex Kuno, he submitted a really fun piece for the show. The one shown above is an earlier work. This piece is 8″x10″ and I believe is watercolor and maybe even some acrylic paint. I really love the way Alex paints faces, the style of drawing added with the colors he uses really creates this timeless illustrative quality to his work. The scenes are always twisted and surreal. I’m really happy to have him in this show.
If you would like to see a preview of the show, message me and I will send you a link I have created for pre-sale. Otherwise, make sure you head on over and check out the rest of Alex’s work.
