  • New “timed release” limited editions by Audrey Kawasaki

    Audrey Kawasaki is having another one of the “timed release” print sales, to ensure that all of her fans are able to get prints. So far it has been exceptionally hard to buy a print without having to get it from someone who bought the print, just to make money off the sale. Coming this January 23rd, from 3pm to 4pm Pacific Standard Time, you will be able to buy one of two limited editions. “Yuuwaku” is 15″x19.5″on a 16″x20.5″ on 100% cotton archival fine art paper, and “Hyakki Yakou” is 22″x13″ on a 23″x14″ on 100% cotton archival fine art paper. The prints will be signed on the image area. Both prints are $100 each or $250 framed.

  • Creep Machine now mobile ready

    I had contemplated making an iphone app for the Creep Machine. Something that would give users a more streamlined version of the site and be able to view the posts easier. In the end I decided against this, as there are many people who don’t use iphones. So the site is now enabled for the layout to change when being viewed from ‘any’ mobile device. If you happen to view the site through a mobile device, take a look and let me know what you think. If you are on an iphone subscribe to the RSS feed via one of the many feed applications that are available.

  • Dark Pop 2.0 @ Last Rites Gallery

    Opening this Saturday Night, January 9th at the Last Rites Gallery in New York is the second installment of the Dark Pop group show. The shows will feature artists that don’t necessarily always create dark art but will do so for this show. Some of the artists are mainly “dark” in all of their works, so it should be a good mix of ideas. The artists that will be participating are: Esao Andrews, John Cebollero (Interviewed), Joshua Clay, Molly Crabapple, Amy Crehore, Yoko d’Holbachie, Leslie Ditto, Eric Fortune, GAIA, Stella Im Hultberg, Sarah Joncas (Interviewed), Danni Shinya Luo, David MacDowell, Mike Maxwell, Tara McPherson, Michael Page, Leslie Reppeteaux, Mijn Schatje and more.
    Take a look at the preview pics and then make sure you keep on eye on the site for the full show.

  • “The Making” print by Brandi Milne @ the new Virtu Art Gallery

    During the past month I was given the opportunity to design a new website for the Virtu Art Gallery, formerly known as Excellent Virtu. As you know Virtu Art has been a long time supporter of the Creep Machine so I was more than happy to help out. The site is now up and running, and new limited editions are also being released. The gallery will have some amazing exclusive editions in the comings month, first of which is “The Making” by Brandi Milne. This edition is 20″ x 20″ on canvas, signed and numbered in an edition of 40. Each one is also hand enhanced making each one unique. It’s a beautiful looking piece, and from what I hear these look amazing in person.

  • Chris Sheridan, Jesse Edwards & Jeffrey Taylor @ Flatcolor Gallery

    If you happen to be in Seattle tonight is the opening reception of a new group show at the Flatcolor Gallery. Work from Chris Sheridan, Jesse Edwards & Jeffrey Taylor will be on view. The show runs from January 7th until the 30th. The paintings from each of the artists is now online to view. I really like what Chris Sheridan has created. The paintings have that beautiful loose brushy feel to them, and the colors are outstanding. He even has some painted skate decks. I am usually not into those but the imagery and painting style om these decks is worth a look.

  • “Hungry Zombie” print by Geordan Moore

    Geordan Moore is a freelance illustrator out of Halifax. He recently added a new print to his already well stocked online shop. There are some great prints to be had, but the “Hungry Zombie” is too good to not show. The print is 11″ x 14″ on 300 gsm watercolour paper, signed and numbered in an edition of 75 for $50 a pop. This is such a cool print, while I am a fan of zombies its nice to see someone talking a humorous route with them.

  • Preview: Krista Huot’s “Nepenthe” solo show @ Gallery 1988 SF

    Opening this Saturday, January 9th at the SF location of Gallery 1988, Kirsta Huot’s latest solo show will open. This new exhibition is entitled “Nepenthe”, which is a Greek word that means “one (drug) that chases away sorrow”. It’s a great title for a show and fits Krista’s style and feel perfectly. Looking at the full preview (Here), the show is very strong. I absolutely love her color palettes and the way she handles that acrylic paint. The drybrushing technique she uses really helps to add depth to the work, and even gives her characters a glow. I can’t help but look at these paintings and wish that an animated movie by Krista was in the works. Along with the paintings there are also some drawings, studies for the paintings really. The drawings look great as well, you can see that she is not only talented with paints but pencils as well. If your in the area make sure you stop by the reception to see the works and possibly talk to Krista, I believe she will be there.
