Introducing Paper Devil Press & Exit 11 by John Cebollero

I am happy to introduce the latest project from the Creep Machine. Paper Devil Press is a new print shop that will feature exclusive limited edition prints, original works of art, and in the future open edition prints and zines. The goal of Paper Devil is to bring amazing artwork to the fans at prices that allow everyone to collect great art. It is also my goal to make mush of the art and prints you see at the shop unique, and unlike many art shops online.

The very first Exclusive limited edition print is by John Cebollero and is entitled “Exit 11″. This print is from a painting that was seen in the “This is the End” group show, and was also the image used for the subscriber edition of Juxtapoz Magazine in 2009. The print is 8 1/4″ x 10″ giclee on 100% cotton rag paper, signed and numbered in an edition of 20 + 5 Artist Proofs. The detail and colors on this print are intense. I will be giving away one of these artists proofs this week over at the Paper Devil Facebook group, so make sure you “like” the new group for a chance to win. Otherwise head on over to the new print site and see what is there. Originals by Dan Harding, and prints by Chris Peters and Martin Wittfooth.

A Threaded Whisper: New Work from Jeremy Hush

Jeremy Hush has been a well-known artist for the punk music scene on the east coast for a long while, however he’s been receiving much more attention in the past few months with several solo exhibitions and participation in some high-profile group shows.  His work is intricate, visceral, narrative and simply gorgeous.

Currently his work is up in a solo exhibition in Philadelphia’s Part Time Studios. Even better, you can keep up to date with his newest work via his blog.

New site launched, Artwire.info

This is something I have been wanting to do for a while now. Create a site in which fans, and myself, can visit and see updates from their favorite art sites, blogs, museums, galleries, and even artists. It takes a long time to scour all the available art sites out there, and is one of the reasons so much news escapes me, this is why I am proud to announce a new website, Artwire.info. This new site is a news aggregator, so RSS feeds from all of your favorite art sites can be found there. Of course some sites that don’t have valid RSS or Atom feeds haven’t been added, but maybe this new site will prompt them to fix that and get added to the site. I hope you enjoy this new site, and if you do please help by spreading the word.
