Preview: “Macrocosm” @ Distinction Art
Coming this Saturday to Distinction Art in Escondido, CA is a duo show entitled “Macrocosm” with new works from Casey Weldon and Edith Lebeau. Each artist created some amazing looking paintings, and I was happy to see that they collaborated on a painting as well. The two styles these artists posses fit very well with each other, this is seen quite easily in the collaborative work and even the way the show flows from Weldon’s slightly muted palette to Edith’s more candy colored one.
Preview: Crazy 4 Cult 4
The group show Crazy 4 Cult is now back again for the fourth installment. The full title “Crazy 4 Cult 4: The Case of the Redundant Number”, will feature work inspired by cult movies from a wide range of amazing artists. Just a few of those participating are: Allison Sommers, Anne-Julie Aubrey, Apricot Mantle, Casey Weldon, Chet Zar, Chris Murray, Dan May, Dave MacDowell, Ewelina Ferruso, Gene Guynn, Joe Scarano, Ken Garduno, Ken Keirns, N.C. Winter, Rich Pellegrino, Scott Campbell, Stella Im Hultberg, Tom Haubrick, and many more. Some are veterans of the group show, and many are new. The past three shows seemed to have been dominated by just a handful of movies, Donnie Darko, The Big Lebowski, Edward Scissorhands, and Willy Wonka. There are so many amazing cult movies, I do hope some of them are given the same treatment some of the repeat titles have. Here is a short preview of some of the works that have been posted around the web, or graciously shared with the Creep Machine. Hit the jump-link to see the full preview.

Mini paper paintings by Casey Weldon
Casey Weldon has updated his online shop with some new original artworks. Each these “mini” paintings are all on paper and were made as a “warm up piece before a long day’s work.” The paintings are all 5 1/2″ x 7″, acrylic on paper with the corners rounded.
I really dig these little paintings, each one of that an amazing feel to them and it’s nice to have smaller works around the house as well. Helps to “fill in” as much wall space as possible.
Head on over to see all of these “mini” paper paintings.

The show is now online to view, or order art if you wish. Along with original art there is also a good amount of limited edition prints made for the show.
There are some really great artists in the show such as: Ken Garduno, Tom Haubrick, Matt Dangler, Aaron Jasinksi, Andrew Hem, Michael Page, Alex Pardee and the three shown below, Dave Macdowell, Casey Weldon and Chris Murray. Dave’s painting is of course amazing as usual, the colors and textures in Chris’s and Casey’s Biz Markie with the Ted Nugent shirt and energy beam shooting mouth is too much.
