I have a huge list of artists whose work I enjoy, one of them is Illustrator Jason Goad. He has a killer style, and his cross-hatching is quite enviable.
He has released two other sketchbook before a while back, and now he has a new one available for purchase. This sketchbook contains various excerpts from his sketchbooks and lineart. 24 pages of killer illustrations. The book is limited to 100 and it looks like the cover can be either yellow, blue, purple, red or green.
If you want to pick one of these up, head on over and grab one before they are gone.

This drawing that was used for the “Daddy’s Girl” painting was auctioned off a while ago to help the Lithium Picnic defense fund. Well it’s back up for auction. The painting was sold long ago, and print of the piece show up quite rarely and sell for quite a bit. I remember a thumbnail sketch was sold as well, but of course being a thumbnail sketch it was quite small and rough.
This is for an 8″ 10″ drawing, it is also framed and protected with UV glass and acid-free materials. The drawing was purchased directly from Michael, so there is a receipt and most importantly provenance. All framed up it’s around 13″ x 17″, and it looks amazing. I would love to have the original painting, but I think having the drawing would be just as cool.
Check it out here, the painting is shown here you can see the drawing at the link: Daddy’s Girl Original Drawing

Justin Kamerer aka Angryblue has a new print up for sale. It’s the Blackmetal Beethoven, with Joker style colors. I think it’s a killer idea to mix the iconic Joker colors with the “black metal” style of face painting. The print is a 6 color print, with metallic purple and metallic red. It’s a hefty 18″ x 24″ and is limited to an edition of 75.
You can also check out the whole process of making this print, and get a good idea of how vibrant the colors are over on this online sketchbook at Creativestem.com. I really dig seeing the process of these prints, it shows you just how much work goes into each one of these.
Head on over to Angryblue to pick up one of these killer prints. Blackmetal Beethoven print

David MacDowell has some new paintings available at the ThinkSpace Gallery. Four of them to be precise. “All of them Witches” has been there for a little bit, but there is now three new paintings. “Night of the Hunter”, “Welcome to the Terrordome” (shown) and the very cool “Oompa Loompacino”.
His work is getting more and more sought after, so I was pretty lucky to have two works of his in the B Movie Show. His paintings are really quite amazing to look at in person. Not only does he paint quick, but they are very clean and the colors are amazing. I don’t think pictures on the web will ever show how spectacular most of the work we see really is, and I know first hand that they don’t show how vibrant David’s works are.
If you look in the piece shown above, you will see a small version of the “Queen of the Deep” in it. His work is always a blast to look at, and I am getting quite anxious to see a solo show of his work.
Head over to pick up one of these pieces, or just to gawk at them: David MacDowell originals

Tara McPherson has a new giclee available of her oil painting, “How They Fly Away So Easily”. The painting was first shown at her solo show “Lost Constellations” at the Jonathan Levine Gallery this past February. The original sold at the show, but now we can pick up one of the prints of this killer painting.
The print is 18″ x 24″ giclee on Somerset Velvet Paper, coated with UV varnish and limited to 100. And of course, it’s signed and numbered. This is a really great print, I love the colors and the layout. She uses some really eye catching colors in her work, but are often too “bright” for me, this one however is just right.
Head on over to her site if you want to pick one up: How They Fly Away So Easily Print for Sale

L.A. based artist Dienzo has been working on a new series of paintings called “Monster Mini’s”. Each one of these little paintings are 6″ x 6″, acrylic on canvas.
So far he has done: “Wolfgang”, “Julian”, “Dolores”, “Mumford” & “George” (shown), and you can see that these six are based on the classic horror monsters that have inspired so many people. I think these little paintings are amazing, they have a great feel to them and Dienzo’s style of painting is really catchy. They’re also pretty affordable so don’t hesitate.
Dienzo also has a killer painting that will be in the B Movie show, it’s huge and really exciting. So if you cant make it to reception this coming Friday the 18th, you can see the work online this Monday.

John Kolbek has an original painting currently for sale. The piece is 8″x10″ and is entitled “Revenge for the Drowned”. The is the first time I have seen John put his work up for sale like this, and it looks as though someone might get it for a great price.
Fans of Michael Hussar will no doubt see an influence, his work occupies the same dark areas. I’m a big fan of John’s ink work, so much detial and dedication goes into each one of those works. It looks like John’s father painted as well, but didn’t do it for very long. Here’s to hoping John keeps going forward.
Edit: He also just added another original painting that was made for his “Childhood Series”, its an earlier work of his and is 21″ x28″. Check it out Here

There is a self portrait by Maila Nurmi, also know as Vampira, for sale right now. The piece is pencil and sharpie on onion paper. It’s signed both Vampira & Maila Nurmi, dated ‘99. The seller states that all profits from the sale will go to the Maila Nurmi Memorial Fund. There is also some signed photographs by the same seller.
This is a great image. I have seen some other Vampira inspired pieces by Glenn Barr and Bob Dob, but it’s always a cool thing to get a piece of art made by the person featured in it.
