  • Original paintings by Molly Brill

    A bit back I featured the work of Molly Brill. She makes these amazing paintings using watercolors, acrylics, watercolor pencils and charcoal. Each piece is filled with texture and color, always giving your eye something interesting to look at.

    She recently moved and is now living in Ontario, Canada. She started a livejournal and Flickr account, to help people keep track of new works, shows and hopefully some prints. She also have about seven original works for sale, each one of them is $200 (plus s&h). Here is just a few from the list for sale, they are amazing. I would love to see them in an ornate frame. Head on over and take a look at all the pieces she is selling. Molly Brill Original Paintings



  • Audrey Kawasaki’s “timed edition” print sale

    A year ago Audrey had a timed edition print sale to help combat the problem of not enough fans getting access to her prints. So everyone that purchased a print in one hour were guaranteed a print, and that amount determined the edition number as well.

    It’s still a trial to get one of her prints. They sell out almost instantaneously, and then you see Ebay is filled with the prints for sale at bloated prices, something that is getting ridiculous as well. So it looks like it’s time to do another “timed edition” sale. This time she is asking people to vote for which print will go on sale, so while you will no doubt be able to get a print, the voting will determine which one it is. So head on over to her livejournal account and vote, you get a choice of six different prints.

  • New “zombie” inspired prints by Cate Rangel

    You might remember the zombie themed piece by Cate Rangel that I featured a bit back. I talked to her shortly after to see if she was going to make prints, she said yes and they are available right now.

    “Living Dead Girl” is the first painting she did with the zombie idea, and then “This Side of Hell” came next. Each print is limited to an edition of 100 signed and numbered with a COA, are on watercolor paper and are 13″ x 19″. These prints are made with the amazing Ultrachome inks, so I cam imagine these look amazing in person.

  • “She Who Dares” print by Audrey Kawasaki

    This Sunday, November 16th at 6pm Pacific time, the remaining stock of “She Who Dares” prints will go on sale. You have the option to get just the print, or have it come framed. You get the same frame that is used in the preview image, I think that looks really good. Especially since the white border around the image is minimal, and Audrey has started to sign the prints in the image area as opposed to the white border.

    The print is 18″ x 21″, giclee on archival hahnemuhle paper. The print is signed and numbered in an edition of 200 (115 of them available). There is also a certificate of authenticity. Make sure you go over to her site and get registered, or you wont be able to buy one of the prints, and will no doubt be at the mercy at those that flip these prints on eBay.

  • Released: “Fables: Covers” book by James Jean

    Every week when I go out to pick up the latest comics, I have a bad habit of often buying a few based on how amazing the cover is. Fables is one of those comics. I am told the stories are great, but it’s really the art by James Jean on the cover that draws me in.

    If you head on over to his website, he now has a book filled with covers, sketches and progress shots. The book is hardbound, 208 pages, 2-sided 4 color dust jacket, black foil embossing and 1 Color tipped-in plate on the case. The book is also signed if you buy it from his online shop, or you can get it signed in person at the Gallery Nucleus on November 29th. The book looks amazing and will be a good replacement for all the loose Fables comics I have.

  • Our New Sponsor: Metro Orange Art

    I would like to welcome the Creep Machine’s newest sponsor, Metro Orange Art. If you check out the site you will see that they have a wide range of prints, sculptures and even some originals. I featured one of the prints available from Leslie Ditto last week for SFWeekly.com, and along with her prints you can find prints from Ron English, Van Arno, Shawn Barber, Benji Williams, Anthony Ausgang and many others.

    The Creep Machine is managed by just one person and it takes quite a lot to keep this site going, so any help is much appreciated.
