  • “Crash & Burn” by Ben Tour @ Joshua Liner Gallery

    Ben Tour’s latest solo show “Crash & Burn” opened at the Joshua Liner Gallery this past July 11th. I have always been a big fan of his work, and have to admit that his use of the materials has played a role in the development of my own little artworks. In an article over at Toonhound, the author states that ink in Ralph Steadman’s hands was a life giving fluid. While I agree with this, I also feel that Ben has the same ability with the variety of materials he uses. Whether it is spray paint, ink, markers or crayons, Ben seems to be using them less a means to simple place an image onto paper or wall. The materials are more like components, each one fills a specific role and all work together to permanently embed the emotion you see in these figures.

    The work for the show is online, and available to pick up. Ben Tour @ Joshua Liner

  • “Skull” print by Chip7 @ Flatcolor

    Flatcolor Gallery has just added a new print by Chip7, who also has some work in the current exhibition at the gallery. The print is 9″ x 7″ on a 10″ x 8″ piece of Hahnemuhle William Turner Fine Art Paper. The print is limited to an edition of 25. The print is very colorful, and I like how the myriad of shapes and colors all come together to create a skull that might not necessarily look like a skull for every viewer, which is a nice effect.

  • “Wolfman” print by Joel Mills

    Here is a fun print that was added to the Gigposters classified. “Wolfman” is a 3 color screenprint on 100lb French paper. It’s 12.5″ x 19″ in an edition of 20 for only $12 ($5 shipping).
    It’s quite an amazing print, and really looks convincing as an old daguerreotype photo. With only three colors, Black, Bronze (Metallic) & Sepia Brown, the image looks really intricate. It says this is second in a series of three, Dracula being the first. Does that mean that Frankenstein is next? I sure hope so.

    Head on over and check out the print and keep your eye open for more: Joel Mills @ Gigposters
