A Self Taught artist out of Indiana, Mab Graves works primarily with Gouache and Acrylic to create her very surreal portraits. Each painting has an exciting color palette, and one look at her online gallery, you can see that she has a unique style that is consistent and cohesive. Mab has quite a few original works up for sale on her Etsy page, “The Bride of Frankenstein” caught my eye first. It’s 18″ x 24″, gouache and acrylic on board. I love how she used a monochromatic color scheme, while the figure is stylized the colors provide that link to the old classic horror movies.

Carrie Anne Baade has just added a new print to her Etsy shop. Entitled “The Ectoplasm of Miss Svengali As Produced by Madam Phantasm Illusionista”, this print is based on a painting that was destroyed in a fire that hit the Harold Golen Gallery a while back. Luckily there are prints of the painting now, and in the words of Carrie “the prints look HOT! (oh wow…did I just type that?)”. The prints are 8.5″ x 11″ on 10″ x 13″ paper for $35 each.

Opening up this Saturday, April 24th at the Joshua Liner Gallery is the latest solo show from Shawn Barber. Entitled “Tattooed Portraits: Chronicle”, this will be Shawn’s first solo exhibition in New York. The show features 30 new paintings, 8 of which are Watercolor paintings of figure studies and tattoo machines. I was hoping to see some of his watercolor works at his last solo show at the Shooting Gallery (reviewed), so I am happy to see that he has a good amount for this show. Looking at all of the works at once, with the help of the Liner Galleries new website features, you can see that this is a very strong and cohesive show. Not only do we get watercolor pieces, but also paintings of tattoo equipment, studio spaces, arm portraits, and even a series of hand self portraits.
There is some really outstanding works this time, such as the Portrait of Marisa Kakoulas (shown first), the twin painting of James and Tim Kern, and two paintings of Bob Tyrell. A monochromatic, multiple head study, and a color portrait of Bob screaming. There is also the head study of Jo Harrison, that I mentioned during the Shooting Gallery review; I was wondering when this painting would pop up.
Take a look at the preview works, and if your lucky enough to be in the area, make sure you stop by. The show is up until May 22nd.

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.

Michael Hussar has just put up an original drawing for sale. “Mischa” is 5″ x 7″ drawing, charcoal and mixed media on paper, and is signed and framed. I have always been a fan of the drawings that Michael releases, but this one is especially captivating. The way the charcoal is applied gives you an idea of how fragile the work is, and that splash of color, watercolor I believe, used for the lips is very striking. The lips still have that ‘smudgy’ style that Michael is know for, and the frame that was chosen fits the work perfectly.

Arabella Proffer has added some new paintings to her site, and these new ones are not portraits. I have seen some non portrait work from Arabella before, but nothing like this. Each of these new ‘Flower’ paintings are 16″ x 16″ and look amazing. The idea that these are the first of these surreal landscape works, and what would these new styled paintings look like if she keeps going in this direction is very exciting. Take a look at these three, and head on over to her homepage for all her new art.
