A little bit of a delay for the featured artists area, pretty much skipped all of June. But this months featured artists are just what was needed to get it all started again. So head on over to the featured artists area and check out the amazing work by Jesse Riggle and Jacob Mantia. I would also like the thank May’s featured artists, Jason Hernandez and John MacNair.
Porterhouse Fine Art Editions is now taking preorders for the very first vinyl collectible toy by Mark Ryden. YHWH is 16.5″ x 9″ x 1.75″, and limited to an edition of 2,000 for $180. The official release date is July 10th, so if you are looking to grab one of these I would head over there now. It also comes in a pretty snazzy box.
I really would have liked to see a vinyl toy of another of Mark’s characters, but you can’t deny this is one unique looking toy.

Big thanks to Iwantyourskull.com for the news on these paintings. The Wildflower Skull Series is a set of miniature acrylic paintings by California based artist Brooke Kent. Each one of these 3.75″ x 5″ paintings is in an ornate resin frame that is truly unique looking. There are 4 paintings available each one for only $125.
This is one of the situations where you just want to collect them all. The colors of each one are vibrant and exciting, and just imagine them all placed next to each other on the wall.
Mark Riddick is an artist out of Northern Virgina. His worked with all sorts of bands and labels, and was the genius behind the Metalocalpyse poster I talked about before. Mark currently has a print and shirt combo on sale right now. A portion of this sale will go to the NDI Foundation, to help support research for this “rare genetic disorder called Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus (NDI).” So not only are you getting an amazing print, and a shirt, but your also able to help out and hopefully make someone else’s life better in the process. It’s only $25, you can’t beat that.
This set is limited to 100, so head on over now. Make sure you specify what size shirt as well.
This is just a fun print that I thought I would share. The Adult Swim shop has some pretty cool art prints for sale, but pretty much every time I make it over there the prints are sold out (like the Dethklok print I missed out on). So here is a new one that is still available. It’s a print for 3d Season of the Venture Bros. with the artwork done by Eisner Award Winning artist Bill Sienkiewicz. You can see that the print does a good job of looking like the box art for old video games as well. The print is 12″ x 13″ on uncoated 100# stock for $24. It doesn’t say that the print is limited, but you never know. And yes, it’s orange. A very bright orange. Not sure how long I could handle that.

Opening up this Thursday, July 2nd at the Flatcolor Gallery in Seattle is a group show featuring work by Timothy Karpinski, Matthew Ryan Sharp, Jeremy Ehling, Sohaila Adela, BASO, CHIP7 and Julian Duron. The preview for the show is now online and looks great. The work is very affordable as well. Not all of the work from the show is in the preview, but I am loving the paintings by Chip7 and Matthew Ryan Sharp, especially the Baseball Furie drawing (shown). It’s also only $75, someone needs to get that one. If your in the area make sure to stop by the gallery, or check back with the site tomorrow and see if the full show is online.
Tessar Lo has just released a very unique print, a gocco on wood print that is limited to an edition of 10 for $150. The print is all hand done, as the process of gooco prints is very hands on, it’s a four color print on what looks like wood paper, and then embellishments added with white gesso. The print is 4″ x 6″, and is printed on the back with info and signed/numbered by Tessar. Due the process involved in these print, each one will be different from the others.
This is nice to see, while I love prints something more unique like this is very welcome
There is only 10 so head on over before they’re gone. Tessar Lo Gocco Print
