Ashley Wood’s latest figure is now ready for pre-order over on his site. The figure is 12″ tall and is yours for the price of $130, which also ships to you no matter where you are in the world, free.
I like the Bertie toys that he has released but this figure, along with being more affordable, looks pretty cool. It ships at the end of August, but no reason to wait. Head on over to his Bambaland Store and check it out. Bambalandstore.com
I noticed that DVA Gallery has updated the store area of their website. It looks great now, and very easy to move around. You can now just choose a category such as prints, available artwork, books/magazines and so on.
One of the things in the store that really caught my eye was this original oil painting by Chris Mars. “From the Well” is oil on board, 10.5â€x 12.5â€. There is always so much to look at in his paintings. The colors and textures in his work is amazing. I have been able to see his work in person once, and I can surely tell you that images on the net do not show how great his work really is.

Today’s art of the day is from an artist I am now a huge fan of. Her paintings are colorful, skillful and always exciting to look at, and she has recently been posting some drawings that show how great of an artist she is.
The colors in this one are really striking, that jellyfish there has this great translucency to it. And the fingers, I can almost see the sequence of lobbing off the fingers then those jelly tendrils come eeking out. This painting is 11″ x 14″, Oil on canvas. If your becoming as much of a fan of Jacqueline’s work as I am, head on over to her site and check her other work, and keep your eye out, she is posting more and more work.

Justin Meyers has a show coming up this August at the Modern Arts Midwest Contemporary Gallery in Lincoln, and he has been posting some of the work that will be in the show. This one instantly caught my eye, how could it not catch anyone eyes?
This is charcoal on paper, 22″ x 30″. It looks completely amazing, and honestly my brain is having a hard time believing this is charcoal, that could also be because I stink with charcoals and that Justin is so bloody brilliant with them.
Take a minute, let this piece infect you, and then head on over to his website to see more: JustinMeyersartwork.com
