Amy Sol has two new prints that will be available in her shop today at 2pm PST. Both prints are 8.5 x11 on 10.5 x 13 paper on heavy hahnemühle bamboo fine-art paper with 12 color archival pigment, signed, numbered, and embossed. Each print is in an edition of 300 and priced at $50 a piece.
Opening up this Friday at T&P Fine Art in PA is the “Cut Copy Stencil show. The show features work from a bunch of killer artists such as Adam 5100, Papermonster, Pure Evil and more. The work is online in the shop to view, and if your around the reception starts at 7pm.
Saw this on Huffington Post, then Juxtapoz and now it’s spreading all over. Associated Press has accused Shepard Fairey of copyright infringement for using a photo taken by AP photographer Mannie Garcia. So they now want compensation.
Shepard has not hid the fact that he used the photograph for the poster of Obama, but what I find silly is that AP has waited so long for this accusation. The poster has made it’s way around the world, has different versions, spin-offs, shirts, stickers and the original is in the Smithsonian. And now they come around? I don’t agree with going after him anyway, artists have been using appropriated images for years. Degas, Van Gogh and others worked from photographs that I am sure they did not take. So why wait so long? Make sure they is enough money to go for? Who knows, but I am interested to see how this works out. So many artists use images to make works from so this could be devastating and a new way for people to make money by suing others. Great.
Opening up at the Fifty24 Gallery in San Francisco is “Seeing Things” by Greg “Craola” Simkins in the lower level and “Magic Tricks” by Anthony Lister upstairs. The reception is from 7-9pm, but I imagine the place will get pretty packed. It’s not the biggest gallery to begin with. There will also be a print from Craola available at the show. “The Lost Thought” (as seen on the flyer) is 16″ x 20″ giclee on canvas, signed and numbered in an edition of 30.
I’ll be at the show taking pics and doing another writeup for SFWeekly. I’ll pictures of the show and a rundown during the weekend.

Brandt Peters solo show at the Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles is now online to view. Of course the work is all amazing, but what I like the most os the variety he has there. So not only is there paintings and drawings, but a whole mess of sculptures and paintings on found objects. There is also four prints available from the show, shown is “Faithful” a collaboration piece with Kathie Olivas. The gallery is only selling 10 of the edition of 20 on each so I imagine the rest will be at Circus Posterus soon.

Dan Harding, one of the featured artists from this last year, is having a huge sale. He is selling paintings as well as drawings to help make some room. There are some amazing pieces for sale, and the prices are quite nice as well. Drawings start at $70 and paintings start at $80. The pictures do not fully show how intricate and skilled Dan is with oils and graphite, but I can assure you seeing these works in person they are very dynamic.

Here is a just a few of the works you will see, such as “Blister” (top) a new painting:
In honor of the Grammy’s, Feb 2nd through the 8th, Shooting Gallery along with Kris Lewis and help from Will.I.Am bring a group show entitled “World on Fire”. The show features portraits of big name music stars painted by 20-25 of some of the best artists in the “Lowbrow” scene. The works and prints that re sold at the show will help to benefit the Pea Pod Foundation. A few sites have talked about this show, and Arrested Motion just posted a preview of some of the works that will be on view, and from what I have seen so far this show is going to not only help out a great foundation but bring the fans some killer artwork.
The show will feature portraits from: Lori Earley (Madonna), Paul Chatem (Rick Rubin), Kris Lewis (Beck), Travis Louie (Trent Reznor, NIN), Shawn Barber (Angus Young, AC/DC), Natalia Fabia (Pink), and it is also said we will see Jeremy Lipking painting Snoop Dogg, Ron English (Metallica), Van Arno (BB King), Shepard Fairey (Paul McCartney) and many more.

Todays art is from Saturne, an artist out of Paris France. She works in both digital and traditional arts, and recently posted a new oil painting she has finished. The painting is entitled “The Little Voice”, it is oil on wood and roughly 20″ x 27″.
I really love the colors she used and the stylized way she draws figures. The hands and poses of both figures are great, kind of winding a bit through the work instead of being static like a normal portrait. If you like this piece head on over to her homepage, she has allsorts of amazing art and shop if you would like to buy prints or originals.
