Michael Shapcott has added a new painting to his Etsy shop. The painting is entitled “June” and is 12″ x 16″, graphite and oil on canvas. The past few paintings he has posted have been about this size, and are very energetic, with the textures in each one as well as the colors used.

The book is $22 for soft cover, $39 hardcover and the box set is $90.
Dan May has some working in the upcoming “FIGURATIVELY” group show at the Daniel Fountain Contemporary, and he also posted some original drawings to his flickr account. This is the first time I have seen him post some drawings that were for sale. It’s easy to see that Dan is not only skilled with oils and acrylics, but with graphite as well. Each of the drawings is for sale, if you are interested make sure you contact him with the e-mail provided under the images on Flickr. They are all 8″ x 10″, graphite on bristol.
Opening up this Thursday, June 4th at the Iguapop Gallery in Barcelona Spain, is “The Mystic Chords of Memory”. This show features all new work by Tim Biskup. Daily Du Jour has a studio visit showing some of the works that will be in the show. They looks great, I would love to see them in person. Like going to Spain wouldn’t be cool anyway.
Letter Pressed has a new Artist Series print by Jason Limon. This is #16 in the artist series, it’s 6″ x 8″ 2 color letter press, signed and numbered in an edition of 50 for $40.
It looks quite amazing, I think Jason’s art translated very well into this style of print.

If you saw work from the “Attack of the B Movie Show”, you might remember “Cosmo Girl (Barbarella)” “The Bride” and the very smooth Vampira painting I wish was in the show but hadn’t been painted yet. The cards are each 4.2″ x 6″ and are priced at only $6.50.
