  • The Art of Spencer Mann

    The Art of Spencer Mann

    After living in San Francisco for just under a year, I have now realized there was so much art that I missed out on. Besides the galleries, there are nightly events, meetups at houses, and even some artists such as Spencer Mann that you might just run into while checking out the Haight. Spencer’s work is filled with detail, color, and texture. Coming this Thursday, July 26 in San Francisco, Spencer will have some work on view at Mixology, an event by RAW. If you head over to the link, you can even purchase tickets through Spencer’s artist profile page, which will help him out. Also, make sure to check out his Flickr page for more works.

  • New work by Soey Milk

    New work by Soey Milk

    Soey Milk is an artist working out of Pasadena, CA. She recently had a solo show at La Luz de Jesus this past February and showed just how amazing she is with oils. Soey also keeps a blog and uploads any new art she creates, which alerted me to the recent works I am about to share. I am blown away by how skilled she is with a such a wide variety of mediums. Two of the recent works she posted are influenced by Die Antwoord’s Yolandi Visser. The first thing that struck me about these two works, is that even though the focus is on a famous musician, they were done in such an elegant way that I believe anyone can fully enjoy them even if you don’t like Die Antwoord or Visser. This cannot be said for many works that were influenced by celebrities. Head on over and take a look at Soey Milk’s blog and be inspired.

  • “ESL” by James Jean

    “ESL” by James Jean

    James Jean has just released an image of his latest painting. Entitled ESL, this 18″ x 24″ oil and pumice on wood panel painting, is currently on view at the Ivory and Black Gallery in London. The texture/glare in the image is the pumice used in the painting; it would be great to see this in person to really get a good idea of the mood created with all of that texture.

  • “Curiosity” by René Campbell

    “Curiosity” by René Campbell

    René Campbell is an artist working out of Adelaide, Australia. I stumbled upon this digital painting browsing around Reddit. Not the most amazing place to find art, but there are some great finds there if you look around. The moment after I saw this piece, entitled Curiosity, I knew I had to share it here. René is 18 years old, is completely self-taught, and aspires to be a successful artist. While this is of course the goal for every artist, I think René will do quite well. If this is the caliber of work she is currently producing, imagine in the next few years what we will be seeing. This piece is 100% digital and took between 4-50 hours. Head on over to René’s Society6 page for more. Also, make sure to click the image to see a larger version, all that detail is worth it.

  • New work by Minjae Lee

    New work by Minjae Lee

    Long time readers of the site might remember the work of Minjae Lee, one of the earlier featured artists and still one of the most searched for key words on the site. It’s been a few years since I have taken a look to see what Minjae Lee was up to, but this past week I checked out his website and was blown away. Not only has he updated his website, but there is now the option to order limited and open edition prints of some of the paintings. I spent quite a while looking through the site, and am featuring 3 works from 2012, I highly suggest you head over to the site and check out the rest.

  • “Time Machine” series by Allison Torneros

    “Time Machine” series by Allison Torneros

    Allison Torneros has just re-launched her online shop, and to help get it back in full gear she is having a sale of original paintings. The new series is entitled Time Machine, and features 30, 9″ x9″ mixed media paintings for only $80 each. They are going pretty fast, however I still wanted to share them here. Each painting is acrylic, spray paint, and graphite on paper and has that amazing feel Allison’s large scale works have. I love that idea that each piece looks completely random, as if she started laying down paint and allowed it to guide the entire process.

  • The Sculptures of Roger Reutimann

    The Sculptures of Roger Reutimann

    Swiss born artist Roger Reutimann started at a young age with art playing classical piano, and even competed in piano competitions. Later he would gain some notoriety for his award-winning, handcrafted, and limited edition lamps. Reutimann has been painting and sculpting his entire life, although it has only been since 2007 that he has dedicated more time to it. He has an amazing style. Make sure you head on over and check out the rest of his work.
