  • Thinkspace interviews Dave MacDowell

    One of my favorite artists, and one that I have made it a point to feature on this site as much as I can, is Dave MacDowell. His art is not only masterful, but completely mad at the same time. The kind of work that reminds you how amazing and fun art can truly be. Dave has an upcoming solo show, “The Sins of Atticus Finch” at the ThinkSpace Gallery this coming March 13th, and the gallery has interviewed Dave to get us all amped for the show. It’s a great interview and features much of the art you will see if you are able to make it to the show.

  • Art of the Day: “Flight” by Kelly Vivanco

    Another one of the artists that will be showing new work in the upcoming “This is the End” group show is Kelly Vivanco. I have been a fan of her work for some time now, and even got the opportunity to interview her if you check out that section. She works with both acrylics and oils, but no matter what medium she uses all of her work has that amazing style of hers radiating from each painting.

    The painting shown is entitled “Flight”, it was originally acrylic on panel 12″ x 10″. If you head over to her site you can see that she is also making it available as a print. The print has exactly the same size image area, with a 1/2″ white border around it. It is signed and numbered in an edition of 50.
