I would like to welcome the newest sponsor to the site, Icon Art Gallery. If you head over to the galleries homepage you can find all sorts of fine art editions from such artists as Shepard Fairey, Takashi Murakami, Dave Kinsey, Ian Francis (shown), Tara McPherson, Joe Ledbetter and more. With the addition of the newest sponsors to the site, the next year will bring some great additions to the site, as well as making it possible to have a few contests.
Dan Harding just added a couple of new original paintings to his online shop. The shop is also a new addition to his homepage, with a good amount of art available.
The first painting is entitled “Incomplete” and is 8″ x 10″ oil on canvas, then there is “The Strange” 9″ x 12″ oil on canvas. Both of these new paintings are just amazing, the expressions, details and even the colors, which seem to compliment each other so that both paintings seem like they were designed to be shown together. His technical skill along with with his concepts, both dark and humor filled are always a surprise, he never ceases to amaze me. Both these paintings are available as well, and sure to go quick.

Well the 2009 San Diego Comic Con is now over, and the opportunity to score some great art and collectibles is over as well. That is unless of course you want to scour ebay and pay inflated prices. Some great stuff will be coming out in the next few weeks for those that saved money, such as this “Kindling” poster book by James Jean. The portfolio has 12 4c posters in at at 12″ x 16″ each, and includes one 24″ x 16″ gatefold poster all for $30.
Opening this Friday, July 24th at Roq la Rue is two solo shows, ” Beauties and Beasts” by Nicoletta Ceccoli and ” Daughters of Our Nature” by Eric Fortune. Both of these artists are amazing and being able to see their work, side by side in the same gallery is making me wish I lived in Seattle. The show is pretty much all sold out, which is not surprising. Both artists have a very dreamy quality to their work, are masters of their mediums and continue to put out high quality art with no sign of stopping.
I like the fact that both Eric and Nicoletta also use acrylic on paper, with Nicoletta adding graphite to the mix. It just shows that in the right hands, acrylic also has the ability to create works of art that have a glow to them often associated with other mediums.

Michael Page has just released a new print. The print is based off of the “Peace We Bring” painting that was featured in the “Transcenders” show that took place last March. It’s a beautiful print and almost looks like its about to start dripping with color. The print is 12″ x 10.5″ on a 14x 12.5 piece of paper. Signed and numbered in an edition of 30 for $110 plus shipping.
Ken TwoFour has just added some new prints to his Etsy shop. He always seems to create unique prints that are anything but the standard idea of what a print is. The Skull Transformation Set has 4 “prints”, each 3 1/2 X 5 inches, 2 color screen print on 1/4 inch wood. Blue,green,yellow and purple. Hand cut and hand printed by Ken TwoFour at Wearwolf Press in Atlanta. Comes ready to hang on your wall and also has a magnet attached.
This is a really great idea. I think its nice to be able to spruce up your living area or office, and be able to have a choice in how you want to do it.
