One of the shows that I really loved was the “Charity by Numbers” show. Artists were given these already paintied paint-by-numbers pieces and were to remix them. Some of the pieces were really cool, some only had minor additions. James Jean’s piece was one of the ones I loved the most. And it looks like someone is selling it. It’s acrylic on an 8″x 10″ paint-by-numbers board. I really wish a print was made of this piece. You can head over and take a look at it. James Jean Charity by Numbers

There is also a Jeff Soto Original drawing here, An an Amy Sol original here, Greg “Craola” Simkins original painting/drawing here. As well as two Tara McPherson paintings, both from the Fables comic: Snowfall painting & Diaspora

People are just going crazy selling all these paintings.

A while back I posted about an art sale that Steven Daily was having. A huge amount of work was for sale. A lot of work has sold and there is now some more, along with a limited vinyl toy that was designed by Steven and in “collaberation with big shot toy works and toy qube.” There are only 11 of these little guys left, check them out here.

Otherwise you can just take a look at all the cool art that he is selling, like the one shown. It’s graphite on paper, and is sold already. These are going fast.

The two versions of her Neurosis/Mastadon posters will be available to buy February 11th here. This print entitled “Halloween Portrait” is available to buy right now.

The print is on Somerset Velvet Paper, 17″ x15″ with an image area of 15″ x13″. It’s signed and numbered and limited to 100. It’s a great colorful piece, and contains a good amount of her iconic imagery in it. Such as the ballons and skullflowers. This print is really an updated version of her 2006 concert poster for Beck seen here.
It’s the same character really and scene, but with more pleasing colors, well to me at least.

If you want to grab the print head on over. Halloween Portrait print

The 4th issue of the I Want Your Skull zine is now available for purchase.

This issue really looks amazing. There is an interview with Jason Goad and Luke Drozd and artwork from 35 artists in all fields of art. You also get a 3-color serigraph print from Brian Morris, a sticker designed by Justin Kamerer (Angryblue) and it all comes in a hand printed envelope designed by Ryan August. This issue is limited to 500, hand numbered.

I can’t think of many zines that come with that much cool stuff. If you want to grab this issue head on over to the store section of the I Want Your Skull webpage.

There is a new print on the way from Michael Hussar. It’s being released through BirdBath Publishing, which deals with all of Michaels prints and originals.

This new print is entitled “Still Life With A Smile”, and I imagine it is limited to 88 like the rest of his prints have been. The quality of Michael’s prints and the presentation is amazing. You don’t just get another giclee print, it comes in a custom folder with a certificate of authenticity and a wax seal on the certificate. Very smooth. The only problem you’ll have is finding a frame that is worthy of the print.

If you order this print before February 4th, Birdbath will cover the shipping in the US. Looking at the site I also see that there is still a few “Hans Memling” and “White Devil” prints as well.

This painting was featured in the “Krampus and Christmas” show at the Copro Nason Gallery a while back. There were a lot of really great paintings at the show, this being one of my favorites.

The seller stated that Naoto pieces are usually all sold out. Now many times sellers say this and it isn’t true, especially about prints. But in this case it is true, I can’t think of many times I see his work sold by the original buyers.

Naoto has a crazy style, his work is always a blast to look at and never gets old.

To help with the growing cost of the ridiculous lawsuit against Philip Warner by the “saints” over at Suicide Girls, Philip is offering up some killer limited edition poster sized prints.

These prints are not signed or numbered, but are limited to 100 and are a huge 20″x30″. There will be a new one coming out every month while the trial goes on, let’s hope that isn’t long. The print shown is the first one to be sold so head on over if you want to pick one up.

If your like me and have limited wall space left, you can also head over and pick up one of his smaller photo prints. The prints are either 9″x12″ or 11″x14″ and you have a huge variety to choose from.

There is an Amy Sol original painting for sale. I like the idea that the seller gives provenance of the painting. Showing us where it was bought. More art sellers on auction sites should do this.

Along with the Amy Sol original there is a Stella Im Hultberg original, an Amy Sol print, a David Choe print and the “Smitten” show print set. This set includes prints by Amy Sol, Stella Im Hultberg, Audrey Kawasaki, Brandy Milne and Kukula.

All of these from the same seller, not a bad haul really. Head on over and take a look.

The very cool Letter Pressed has now opened an artist’s series store. They have released some very cool artist series letter press prints in the past, such as the Brian “Candykiller” Taylor prints.

Now they have a whole new section dedicated to artist series prints. So far they have one by Travis Lampe, Michael Sieben and one final print left of Candykillers “Unspeakable Terror” print (shown). There will be some more prints from Candykiller, but this one is very smooth and only one person has the chance to grab it.

Either way keep an eye on this site, I imagine there will be some very killer prints coming from this shop.

I might be a little bit late on this, but it’s something cool to hear anyway. Faesthetic is an art book that is distributed by Threadless.
There have been some really great artists, and it looks like this issue is filled with a number of exciting artists such as: Derek Ballard, Travis Millard, Munk One, Ruben Rude, Jon Burgerman, Nate Van Dyke, Benjamin Kehoe, Sauerkids & many more. The theme of this issue is “Doomsday”, and it says it’s all ad free. The cover (shown) was done by Tim Biskup.

The book is 160 pages of two color art, black and red ink, and you can grab it for $25. I think I might pick one up, although I do love looking through the whole mag and seeing exactly whats inside. Hard to keep collecting these things when they take up so much space.

The holidays are now fully over and Blueflip Art is back in action. This new monday limited print is from Amy Kligman and is called “Little Screams”. It’s 8″x8″ and a portion of the sale goes to the Smile Train.

I really dig this piece, it has some great elements. The background is cool, and I like that she made this crazy pattern for the “scream” area. Oh and I love bunnies. Even onces that look all sketchy like the ones right next to her.

Original paintings by Audrey Kawasaki or Amy Sol don’t pop up that often. When they do it’s always cool to get a look at them, affording them is another thing but one can window shop.

The painting shown is the Audrey Kawasaki piece, it’s called Oasobi and was painted in 2006. It’s oil on wood 8″ x11″. I really dig this piece, it has a perfect example of her stylized figures in it. The background isn’t as colorful as they are now but the figures more than make up for it.

The Amy Sol piece is great as well, I just wish the picture of it was better. Head on over to check them out. Amy Sol & Audrey Kawasaki originals
