This Black Friday support small businesses and artists

by josh on Nov 25, 2011 • No Comments

Black Friday is here again, and along with the great savings comes sitting overnight in the cold, dealing with a crazy mob of people, and possibly getting pepper sprayed because you took the last xbox 360 (source). So avoid the mayhem, and support your local, small businesses and better yet artists. Many of your favorite artists are having black friday/holiday sales. This is a great opportunity to not only score some art, prints, shirt, and more, but you also know you are helping out a person and not some mega-corporation.

“Art From the New World” @ Bristol City Musuem

by josh on May 21, 2010 • 1 Comment

Curated by Jan Corey Helford, this past May 15th marked the opening of the “Art From the New World” group exhibition at the Bristol City Museum & Art Gallery. This show will run until August 22nd, but for those of us that aren’t able to see it in person, we now have some images of the art and even behind the scenes photos of the preparation and build up to opening day (see here).

Last year the Bristol City Museum featured the works of Banksy, and during the course of the exhibition over 300,000 visited the museum. Now for the “Art From the New World” show, there have been over 5,000 visitors in the first 6 days of the opening. This is not only a very exciting show, but an important one for the future of the art we love so much. Originally referred to as a scene filled with “illustrators”, this art is now gaining more momentum than ever. Museums are taking notice, and the fan-base is becoming larger than ever. There is some amazing work in this show, from artists such as Kent Williams, David Stoupakis, Joe Sorren, Brandi Milne, Buff Monster, Camille Rose Garcia, Dave Kinsey, Travis Louie, Mercedes Helnwein, Ray Ceasar, Sas Christian, Melissa Forman, Jason Shawn Alexander, Dave Cooper, Liz McGrath, Mike Stilkey, Gary Baseman, Craola, Luke Chueh, Coop, Natalia Fabia, Chris Anthony, AJ Fosik, Joe Ledbetter, Todd Schorr, Van Arno, Martin Wittfooth, Josh Agle, Lola, Sylvia Ji, Marion Peck, Mark Ryden and many more. How is that for a lineup? I really wish this show was going to travel and come to some museums here in the states. Take a look at the preview images here, and then head over for the full preview.

Hi Fructose 5th Anniversary Exhibition @ Copro Gallery

by josh on Mar 27, 2010 • No Comments

This past March 13th, the Copro Galley opened the 5th Anniversary Exhibition for Hi Fructose. Along with this amazing group show, Eric Fortune and Michael Page also had solo shows up as well. The group show featured some inspiring work by KMNDZ, Scott Hove, Martin Wittfooth, Lori Earley, Eric Fortune, Craola, Chet Zar, Amy Sol, Kris Kuksi, Jonathan Viner, Chris Mars and many more. The Eric Fortune works are not up on the site as of yet, but the Michael Page solo show is. His latest works have been more abstract, and less figurative than earlier pieces. These paintings still hold the same narrative feel that his older works had, and are even more mysterious than ever. The colors are breathtaking, and I like the idea that he decided to change his work up a bit. Take a look at the preview images from the shows, and then head on over and see all of the works.

“Label Me” print by Greg “Craola” Simkins

by josh on Aug 5, 2009 • No Comments

The original painting from this print will be in a group show at the Joshua Liner Gallery opening this August 15th. The print is available to purchase now however. It is 18″ x 24″, signed and numbered in an edition of 50 for $150.

It’s an amazing image, I love that Warhol inspired soup can in the middle, Chunky Bunny flavored. I also like that the print is on paper. Canvas prints are fine too, but some images just look striking on nice paper with a frame to finish the whole look.

To purchase, email info@joshualinergallery.com

Greg “Craola” Simkins on Sketch Theatre

by josh on Mar 27, 2009 • No Comments

It was just a bit ago that the “Art of Sketch Theatre” opened at the Gnomon Gallery and now the site has brought us another video. This new one is from Greg “Craola” Simkins and is his first video for the site.

Greg is a phenomenal artist, I love watching the character in this one develop out of what looks like nothing more and smudges and highlights. Lets hope that Greg becomes a regular on the site.

“The Gauntlet” limited print by Greg “Craola” Simkins

by josh on Feb 13, 2009 • No Comments

At the opening of Craola’s show at Ffity24SF I talked to Craola a bit about collaborations he would like to be in, artists he would like to show with and so on. Alex Pardee was one of the he mentioned, “it just makes sense” he said and I agree. Well we might not have a collaborative show from the two of these amazing artists for some time, but Zerofriends/Alex Pardee is bringing the fans a limited edition print by Craola. The print is entitled “The Gauntlet”, it is 16″ x 20″ Printed with Archival Inks on Acid Free Velvet Cotton Rag, limited to only 100. And as it says on the site “Each print is hand signed, numbered and loved by Greg Simkins”. The prints from Zerofriends look amazing, and with Craola’s artwork on them this print is surely to sell out very fast, especially since it’s only $125

Head on over and grab one before it’s to late.
