  • 7th Annual Blab Show & Ryan Heshka @ Copro Gallery

    In anticipation of the upcoming BLABWORLD No. 2 and 3, Copro Gallery opened the 7th Annual “Blab Show” featuring work by many of the best artists working today, such as: Joe Sorren, Ana Bagayan, Shag, Marc Burckhardt, Chet Zar, Martin Wittfooth, R.S. Connett, Laurie Hogin, Sas Christian, Ryan Heshka, Gary Baseman, Owen Smith, Alex Kuno, and many more. Ryan Heshka was not only in the group show, but opened his latest solo exhibition “Strange Powers 2” at the gallery as well. The great thing about this new show by Heshka, was that along with the paintings he also offered original drawings and sketches, that were used to prepare for the paintings. It was a great way to give the fans an insight into the working process, and show off Ryan’s drawing skills as well.

I really love the pianting by Charlie Immer (first), he has such an amazing ay of painting something so morbid, but so colorful and almost happy at the same time.

  • Aotd: “Machine Gun Face” by R.S. Connett

    R.S. Connett has just added a new painting to his site entitled “War Machine II”, (or “Machine Gun Face”). This new character will be used for Connett’s new series, “Transmutationists”, but might change a little bit. The idea of this painting is man becoming machine, and even though that is not an entirely new idea, I like the take that Connett has in this piece. I love the contrast of that biomechanical figure in the foreground, and those amazing apocalyptic skies he paints so well. This painting is also available, if you head over to the link you can check it out.

  • “Underworld” series by R.S. Connett

    R.S. Connett has been busy painting away on a new series entitled “Underworld”. These new works will be shown with Mark Murphy at the Scribble08 Film Premier in San Diego,
    (concurrent with Comic-Con) this July 23-26. Each one of the paintings is acrylic on canvas, ranging from 8″ x 10″ to 24″ x 24″. Each painting is like a small cross section of what you would find in little worlds often unseen or passed on by from the average viewer. Every inch of them is filled with information, creatures that we have seen before are perfectly rendered, and unheard of life is filling in the rest.
