Jason Levesque (aka Stuntkid) was asked to co-curate a group show along with Heather Hakimzadeh at the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art.

Head on over to the site and check out all of the works, some of these cans are outstanding. JoKa and his toothpick painting style is always impressive, and Chet Zar Kozyndan, and Jason Levesque went all out and even added some sculptural elements to the cans.

Now Online: “Marvelous Humans” Group Show @ Articulated Gallery

Just over a week ago on April 7th, the latest show I had the pleasure of curating opened at the Articulated Gallery in San Francisco. I had a few ideas of what would be my next show, but i thought that Marvelous Humans would be the most fun, and would be a great way to signal a break in my curating days. I’m not going to say I will never curate again, but I do have other projects now that will take more priority over curating. I am very happy with the art in this show, and the reception was a blast. A good amount of artists were present such as Glenn Arthur, Apricot Mantle, Robert Bowen, Peter Adamyan, Kelly Castillo, and Edward Cao. The artwork from the show is now available in the Articulated Gallery online shop, and you can also see some alternate images of the works over at the Creep Machine Facebook page. If you would like to see higher resolution images of the works, please feel free to contact me.



Preview: “Marvelous Humans” @ the Articulated Gallery SF

Opening this Saturday, April 7th, is a new exhibition I have had the pleasure to curate. Entitled Marvelous Humans, this group show features art inspired by the many human marvels that once lived, or are alive today. I have always been inspired by those who were born with a certain condition, and made the most of it, as well as those that choose to alter their bodies regardless of the negative reactions they would receive. So instead of focusing on these people as “oddities”, I thought it was time for some art to be created that was done with a level of respect. A few of the artists looked to the amazing “Human Marvels” website for inspiration, take a look when you have time.

The reception takes place at the Articulated Gallery in San Francisco from 8-10 PM, and a few of the artists will be in attendance. The Facebook Event page has the full info; please help spread the news. Participating artists include: Apricot Mantle, Casey Weldon, Dan Harding, Dave MacDowell, Edward Cao, Glenn Arthur, Elizabeth Levesque, Jackie Gallagher, Jason Snyder, Jay Doronio, Jessica Ward, Kelly Castillo, Larkin, M Fersner, Patrick Deignan, Peter Adamyan, Richard Frost Robert Bowen, Sandi Calistro, & Scarecrowoven. Take a look at the preview images, and we hope to see you there.



Preview: “Wayward Fairy Tales” group show @ Modern Eden

Beautiful Grim Auction Now Live

Beautiful Grim, is a project started by Daarken (Mythic Entertainment) and Leif Jeffers, an animator at DreamWorks. The idea of the Art Auction is to help out with Daarken’s girlfriend Cat who is currently undergoing Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer. Stated on the site: ” In order to help alleviate some of her medical bills Leif and I wanted to throw an art auction. The proceeds that are left over after her medical bills have been paid will go to a breast cancer related charity to be determined by the artists in the coming weeks.”
The auction has now started, and works from such artists as Glenn Arthur, Ben Jelter, Ruel Pascual, Richard Smith, Julie Zarate and many more can be found.

Glenn Arthur new work and process

Californian artist Glenn Arthur has just added some new work to his blog. This new painting “Objects In The Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear” 16″ x20″ acrylic on wood, is a part of his new series entitled “The Ghost And The Banshee”. I also like the fact that he added some process shots of al the stages of the painting. I love when artists do this, as it not only can show you some tricks if your an aspiring artists, but it allows you to see the craftsmanship of the painting we all enjoy.

Looking at the process shots, you can also clearly see that Glenn rocks with acyclic paints as well as graphite.
