Jeremiah Ketner has added a bunch of original paintings to his online shop. This rarely happens, so if you have wanted to grab an original and would like to skip the whole gallery interaction, head on over and pick one up directly from the artist.

Dave MacDowell @ Monsters of Pop Show
This past week the “Monsters of Pop” group show opened at the Gallery 1988 in LA. The show features work by Netherland, Kiersten Essenpreis, Brandon Bird and Dave MacDowell. While I liked much of the work in the show, Dave MacDowell’s pieces stood out above the rest not only because of the obvious technical skill he possesses, but the amazing ideas that he keeps churning out as well.
He has five works in the show, four of which are homages to popular paintings. Just a little bit after he unleashed “Appetite for Veruca”, a re imagining of Robert Williams controversial “Appetite for Destruction” painting, he gives us a remix of Edward Hopper’s “Nighthawks” and three from Mark Ryden: “Girl Eaten by Tree”, “Allegory of the Four Elements” & “Little Boy Blue”.
I would like to see more artists doing homages like these. There have been a few scandals recently, due to certain artists “copying” another’s work, I see no point. If you are short on ideas or want to try something new, make an homage to a past work of art. But I do feel it is important to make sure that like Dave has, you do the work justice.

The two prints, “Rockhand” and “Eyehand” are both 12.59″ x 17.71″, signed and shipped in a heavy duty tube for only $21.50. Oh and he is also throwing in a super big sticker into the mix.

Artists: Matt Dye
I often get submitted artists websites to check out, this is one that showed up today and I had to share. Matt Dye is an artist out of Eugene, OR. He has done a huge amount of concert posters, as well as fine art screen-prints, monographs and more. I haven’t seen any of the prints in person but they look very vibrant and sharp. Looking through the countless prints in his store, and those that have long sold out as well, there are quite a few that I am taken with.
I really like the Sharon Tate, David Bowie Mugshot and of course the Stormtrooper print (sold-out). It’s refreshing to see someone make a print of Sharon Tate, as there are far too many of the maniac linked to her. The colors in the Tate print really make the image pop, the blue make this print look electric. I’m also happy to see someone do somthing with that amazing David Bowie mugshot, I have always loved that picture.
Head on over to Matt Dye’s homepage, and see what he has on the shop. These prints and more, as well as variations on each one can be found there.

“Samuel Jackson 5” print by Dave MacDowell
Dirty Pilot has just released a new print by Dave MacDowell. “The Samuel Jackson 5” was first seen at the Thinkspace Gallery for his solo exhibition “The Sins of Atticus Finch”. The original painting is of course sold, but for those that loved this image, you can now get it in print form.
The print is 16.875″ × 15″ Archival Pigment Print on the 300gms art paper w/one deckled edge. Signed and numbered in an edition of 39 for $60 a pop. I’m glad there is now some prints available from Dave. His artwork is such a blast, and sells out pretty quick.
