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.

Featured artists: Winst & Steph Chard

April 3, 2008

There are two new featured artists for the month of April. Winston Chmielinski & Steph Chard. They both have very amazing painting styles and I’m happy to be able to show them. Check out the featured artists area and have a look at their work.

I would like to thank last month’s featured artists Chris Uminga & Ego. Both artists have work that will be shown in the upcoming “Attack of the B Movie Art Show”, so we will have some new work to show from both artists very soon.

Advertising and blogs

March 31, 2008

Some of the new features of the site that I should have talked about earlier is the new advertising for the Creep Machine. There are two area you can have banner placed, the sidebar were you can currently see banners for Sketch Theatre and Vomitus.com, and the footer that will only fit one banner at a time. Scroll to the bottom and hit the “advertising” link if you would like more info about this.

The second is a blog that I created that will really be a more personal one. I am an artist as well, at least I am trying to be, and I don’t want to use this site to promote my work. So I will post my work, and daily thoughts and what not on the blog that I have created. If you want to check that out please head over here:

thanks, hope everyone is having a great week.

“Maniac” process video by Tanya Pshenychny

March 14, 2008

Tanya was cool enough to make a video showing her working process, and it just so happens to be one of the pieces in the B Movie Show. It’s from the movie “Maniac” and it looks amazing. I wish I could use watercolors with such confidence. She’s just laying it down with no worries.
To check out the video, please head over to the “Attack of the B Movie Art Show” page. This way the video won’t slow down the loading of this page. You can also see an updated list of the participating artists and grab some buttons and banners if you want to help spread the word.
