  • Wondercon SF 2009

    The Wondercon in San Francisco opened this Friday at the Moscone Center. It goes until Sunday, so if your like me an missed the opening on Friday there is still two more days. I am a fan of comic books, but I enjoy the artists alley a lot better. It’s a great chance to score some prints and originals from some really amazing artists. I will hopefully have some good pics of the event when I get back, but I wanted to give a rundown of who I know will be there.

    Alex Pardee with at the Zerofriends booth #1374. He will be signing, and the good news is that there is 25 of the Watchmen prints (shown) available. He saved some after the NY Con for his SF buddies.

    David Mack will be at table #134, he is right next to Jim Lee so you can check out his work as well. David will have some books and limited editions.

    Ben Walker will be in the small press area, booth #SP18. He will have copies of his new book, t-shirts and some affordable mini paintings for like $10. He will also have Michael Slack with him at the booth.

    Camilla D’Errico has two tables, and some new plushes to show off in the artists alley at #085

    Mike Mignola can be found in the artists alley at table #101

    Jonathan Wayshak/Scrapbook Manifesto can be found in the artists alley at booth #121

    I’m sure there is way more that I have not found yet. There are some signings if that is your thing. Erin Grey, Adam West, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Richard Kiel and the one one I will get is from Tony Todd (Candyman, Night of the Living Dead).

  • “The Ambush” print by Jeremy Fish

    Fecal Face Dot Gallery just had an opening that featured a mural installation, and limited edition over-sized print release. The print is now available online if you weren’t able to make it to the show. The print is 22″ x 34″, signed and numbered in an edition of only 30. This is an excellent looking print, and the size is definitely a plus.

  • “Straight No Chaser” print by Dave Kinsey

    Dave Kinsey has a new print available. Entitled “Straight No Chaser”, it is a 4-color screenprint on 100% cotton rag paper, 18″ x 24″ signed, numbered and stamped in an edition of 125. I love all of Dave’s work, but this has to be one of the most energetic and exciting prints I have seen for a while. Thanks to omgposters.com for reminding me of this print.

    The print is available here: BLK/MRKT Editions

  • “Birth of Unreckoning” print by Edwin Ushiro

    A Paper Tiger has just released a new print, this one by Edwin Ushiro. The print is entitled “Birth of Unreckoning” and is 12″ x 12″ on textured paper, signed and numbered in an edition of 25. The image has some really cool textural effects to it, I would have loved to see the original one in person.

  • J.R. Goldberg launches Etsy shop

    I wrote about the art of J.R. Goldberg for one of my SFWeekly.com articles back in December. To recap, Goldberg is an artist out of Los Angeles. The first time I saw her work was in the Jellyfist book and ever since then I have been a fan. The book is written by Jhonen Vasquez (Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, etc) and all the art is by Jenny. She has an amazing style, so the idea that she now has a shop were fans can creepily stalk on a daily basis is excellent indeed.

    The shop has some original works, a mini-comic and the print set I first wrote about. The “Momento Mori” print set includes 9, 5.5×3.5 inch hand-printed cards all in a limited set of 200. Since these prints are handmade, there is a slight variation with each one. Look after the jump for more images of the set.

  • Glenn Arthur new work and process

    Californian artist Glenn Arthur has just added some new work to his blog. This new painting “Objects In The Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear” 16″ x20″ acrylic on wood, is a part of his new series entitled “The Ghost And The Banshee”. I also like the fact that he added some process shots of al the stages of the painting. I love when artists do this, as it not only can show you some tricks if your an aspiring artists, but it allows you to see the craftsmanship of the painting we all enjoy.

    Looking at the process shots, you can also clearly see that Glenn rocks with acyclic paints as well as graphite.
