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.
It’s been a while since the site has had a featured artist. Some contests and other projects took time away from this section. Well, it’s back and to kick it off again is Toronto based artist Kelly Durette. Along with a gallery of her work, there is also a short interview with Kelly. So head on over and check out the first featured artist for 2011.
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.
Something I have wanted to do for while now was make some Creep Machine t-shirts and hoodies. I have been posting in the Facebook group for the past week or so that I have been testing some shirt printers, and now have the shirts ready for purchase. There are currently 4 designs to choose from, and you have the choice between standard 5oz weight or American Apparel in both mens and womens sizes. So head on over to the shop and take a look.
I would like to introduce a new sponsor for the Creep Machine, Toy Art Gallery. Located in Los Angeles California, Toy Art Gallery is “is the first gallery of its kind to showcase and consult on high-end art toys and sculptures.” The online store is filled with collectibles and sculptures from such artists as Ron English, Ashley Wood, Mark Ryden, GERMS, Kaws, and many more. The gallery also has exhibitions featuring custom made collectibles, coming soon is Mark Nagata’s Alien Argus Group Show. So head on over to the gallery and check out what they have to offer.
Ok, so all of the entries for the Trevor Brown print contest were read over by Trevor himself and a winner has been chosen. Unfortunately the winner that Trevor did choose, gave a fake e-mail address and is now forfeited. So I used random.org to choose a random winner, who is Celeste Noel. Congratulations! Stay tuned as we will be having some more contests very soon, and thanks to all those that entered.
Hope everyone had a safe and fun New Years weekend. I hope the next year is amazing, and I am working on some big things for the Creep Machine hoping to make this the best year yet for the site. Remember the Trevor Brown contest is still going on, and not that many people have entered yet so the odds of winning are pretty good right now.
Halloween is upon us again, one of my favorite times of the year. Not only is it filled with great memories of being a kid, eating too much candy and watching horror movies late into the night, but this season is when some of the creepiest art is made. This is the second year I have posted a Halloween feature, and hopefully this one is even better. Head on over to the feature page and see work by: Chris Murray, Charlie Immer, Apricot Mantle, Scott Move, Naoto Hattori, Jessica Ward, Dean McDowell, Esao Andrews, Brian Smith, Dennis Brown, Dan Harding, Ryan Heshka, Celene Petrulak, Adrian Borda, Ego, Buddy Nestor, Edward Frausto, Laurie Lipton, Dave MacDowell, Jehan Choo, Natalie Shau, Joshua Carlton, Dan Hipp, Dienzo, Sarah Joncas, Chet Zar, Chris Brodahl, JR Williams, Tom Haubrick, Nicole Absher, Larkin, and Nouar.
If there is any art you find creepy, that hasn’t been added to this gallery, add the link to the art in the comments.
