aotd: “Pink Team Stormtrooper” by Toby Stanger

April 28, 2008

Today’s art of the day comes from Toby Stanger. He was going to be in the B Movie show, but unfortunately things came up. Hopefully he will be able to submit to the show next year, if I am able to do it again.

Toby has a really killer style, and you can see by this piece, a great imagination as well. I’ve seen a tye-dyed hippie stormtrooper, and even a pink Darth Vader, but never a tiki influenced pink stormtrooper. Just chillin, having a drink.

Check out of the rest of his work, and if your interested this painting is for sale.

John Cebollero 2008 sketchbook for sale

April 26, 2008

John Cebollero has a sketchbook available on his site right now. The book was first released at the 2008 New York Comic Con, but for those of us that weren’t able to attend that function, we can get his book from his site.

The book is 24 pages, features 26 drawings and illustrations and is signed on the very first page. It also features a never before seen collaboration with Richard Corben. This sketchbook will set you back less than a meal at a fast food joint, so there is no reason to pass this up. These sketchbooks are limited an edition of 500.

Also, if you look in the Creep Machine store the painting that John submitted to the B Movie Show is still available. It’s quite an amazing painting, it really shows how great John is with paint and how much he rocks with ink.

New Works by David MacDowell at Thinkspace Gallery

April 22, 2008

WelcomeToTheTerrordome_Acry.jpg
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

After this week finishes, I’m going to get back to posting some of the art that is sent to me daily. For now though we have another artist that has work in the B Movie show, Jason Rudolphpena.

Jason has a really killer style, and like Michael Shapcott he also makes videos showing his painting process. I really wish more artists did this, but we have Jason and sites like SketchTheatre to share with us the process of making these works.

Jason’s painting for the show is a portrait of Schlitzie (Simon Metz), a Sideshow performer that is most known for his role in the 1923 film “Freaks”. The color scheme is identical the piece featured here. You can actually purchase the painting above at the Crybaby Gallery in New Jersey, and of course see the b Movie painting at the show and in the Creep Store.

Head on over to Jason’s site to see some of the videos he has made, and all of the work he has done, and if you look around his site you’ll actually be able to see the Schlitzie piece.

Monster mini paintings by Dienzo for sale

April 12, 2008

george_dienzo.jpgL.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.

aotd: “Gatecrasher” by John Cebollero

April 10, 2008

Today’s art of the day is from John Cebollero. He has done work for DC, Marvel,Cartoon Network & Topps. His work at Topps was for the “Hollywood Zombies” cards, and John’s work was by far my favorite of the set.

His work is wonderfully nostalgic, and to me represents the best of what you can find when looking at art by Bill Ward, old Mad Magazines and Garbage Pail Kids. His pencil works are amazing and his acrylic works are amazing, and his acrylic paintings such as the one he has showing in the B Movie show, has David Macdowell and I trying to sell some blood so we can have split custody with it.

John also just updated and redid his website. So you can now head on over, take a look at his work and maybe buy a print once he has that section updated. John Cebollero homepage

aotd: “Eskimette” by 8pussy

April 8, 2008

eskimette_8pussy.jpg
Todays art of the day is from an artist out of Brussels, Belgium. She goes by the name 8pussy, and has a seriously unique, dynamic style. Her work is really tight and clean, but the colors are intense. This is the kind of art that reaches out and smacks you in the face.

There is so much I love about her work, but the thing that caught me first was the eyes. They look so perfect and real. I’m always waiting for them to start moving around in these images. She came up with a really killer piece for the B Movie show, even though i’ve only seen half of it so far. If you want to see more of her work, head on over to her homepage here:
