Robert Rauschenberg, passed at age 82

May 14, 2008

Photographer, painter, printmaker, and all around multimedia artist Robert Rauschenberg passed away this last Monday at age 82.

He was quite an amazing artist, and one that really got me interested in art in the first place. He has a huge legacy of art to look back on, so if you have never seen his work, please check it out.

Featured artists for May, Eugene Guynn & Minjae Lee

May 1, 2008

I would like to thank last months featured artists, Winston Chmielinski and Steph Chard. I hope you enjoyed their work as much as I did.

For the month of May we have two killer artists, Rhino Barking Sparrow (Eugene Guynn) from San Francisco and Minjae Lee from Korea. Both of these artists have very exciting work, so head on over to the featured artists area and take a look.

Prints poll and new article for the site

April 24, 2008

bloodylondon_rmhanson.jpgI have a new article for the site, “How to prepare you art for show and sale”. It’s filled with some of the tips I was given by the amazing profs I have had so far, as well as some tips from some of the artists that I have been in contact with. I’m sure this article can be expanded on, so if you have anything to add please do so in the comments section of the article.

There is also a new poll going on as well. I plan on making some prints off of some of the works that were in the “B Movie” show. I would love to make some prints that are actually wanted, and not what I think people want. So this poll will give me a good idea on what works people are looking forward to seeing in print form. It’s not cheap doing this, so I would like to skip spending any unnecessary money on prints no one wants. So please take a look in the “Store” section, and then vote in the poll area on the main page off to the right there. So far it looks like people really dig R.M. Hanson’s “One of a Thousand Faces: Bloody London” painting (shown). It is a killer piece, and it’s still available for purchase if anyone wants the original.

Day after the B Movie Show, and one night left

April 19, 2008

Last night was the reception, and it was great. Matt Delight played some killer tunes. The Space Gallery did some live screen printing of the show poster, which was very cool. I also heard the video loop that was playing was pretty crazy, I’ll make sure to watch it later.

A good amount of the artists were there as well, Josh Callaway, Jesse Balmer, Ryan “Deli” De La Hoz showed up, and even a few flew in for the show like Drew Falchetta, R.M Hanson and Irene Mendonis. It was great being able to meet them all, as well as all the people who stopped to check out the show and said hi like Monica Choy and Paul Lewin, who by the way is an amazing artist as well.

Tonight is the very last night, so stop and buy and check out the art. After this night the art will only be available on the Creep Machine store, if you check it out right now a few pieces have sold already.

Creep Machine Store open, B Movie Show Inside!

April 16, 2008

The Creep Machine store is no officially open, and as you can see it is filled with art from the “Attack of the B Movie Art Show”.

Just head over to the store link you can see at the top, or use the banner on the bottom there. Thanks to David MacDowell for making the banner for the store.

So check out the work and message me if you want any. I encourage anyone who can make it, to go the reception this Friday night at the Space Gallery in San Francisco.

See you there!

Michael Shapcott has a new homepage

April 15, 2008

Michael Shapcott, whom I interviewed just a while ago, has a new homepage.

Previously you had to either visit his Myspace or Talentdatabase profile. His site is designed in flash, and for those that have read my “Best Ways to Show your art on the web” article, you know I’m not the biggest fan of flash. Michael’s site however is one of the first times I have ever enjoyed looking at a flash site.

It’s clean, it loads fast and is just easy to maneuver around in. The gallery of works is also one of the better gallery sections I have seen. It loads super quick, and is just a really great example of how you should do a flash site.

Head on over and take a look: Michael Shapcott Homepage

Update on B Movie Show

April 14, 2008

Well, there is a slight update on the B Movie show. It looks as though the gallery will be closed Monday and Tuesday. I apologize for anyone who was going to come out on one of those two nights. I will actually be hanging the art on one of those nights now.

The show itself is not very long, but I guarantee it will be filled with some truly amazing art and the reception on Friday the 18th will be quite a blast. I’m going to launch the Creep store on Monday night, so you will be able to see the art in the show and also purchase some of it if you wish. I decided to do this as the show is quite short. After building the store, I realized that there is roughly 60 pieces of art for this show! That’s insane, that is a huge amount of art for this show, but every single piece is exciting and I’m super happy to have them all.

So please, make sure if you go to the show, make it there on Friday. That is the best night to go.

See you there.
