Dropping this Thursday, May 20th is a new print by Shepard Fairey based on artist Keith Haring. This is an 18″ x 24″ screenprint on canvas, and will be limited to an edition of 450 for $70 each. Like the Blondie (previously featured), I think this is a great print dedicated to an influential artist, and “a portion of the sales go to the Keith Haring Foundation and Photographer Patrick McMullan.”

Gallery Nucleus has added some new prints to their online shop, one of which is “Manfungus 1.3” by Christian Rex van Minnen. I was first taken in with van Minnen’s work due to the similarity to 16th century painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo, although I find the formers work more interesting. The print is a giclee on velvet fine art paper, 18″ x 24″, signed and numbered in an edition of 25.

Michael Shapcott has just redesigned his homepage, and it looks great. Michael’s previous homepage was flash based, whereas this new one is all html (or wordpress to be specific). The site is very easy to maneuver around in, and the gallery looks amazing. From what it says there will be some contests soon, in which fans can win some original art from Michael. Head on over, check out the new site, and keep your eye open for those contests.

This past Monday, May 10th, legendary artist Frank Frazetta passed away at age 82. Widely known as the godfather of fantasy illustration, Frank’s influence can be seen in the work of countless artists such as Ashley Wood, Simon Bisley, Glenn Barr, Dan Harding and many more. Often categorized as an illustrator, Frazetta was an artist worthy of any museums recognition and appreciation.
