    This Saturday at the Project Gallery in LA, Yoskay Yamamoto has his solo show open “”the upside of down”. This is supposed to be his largest body of work yet, so this should be a great show to check out. The work is up for viewing on the site as well and it looks like the show is almost sold out.

  • Solo show of Eugene Guynn in SF

    rhino.jpgEugene Guynn, otherwise known as Rhino Barking Sparrow as well as one of the featured artists for this month, is having a solo show in San Francisco.

    The reception for the show opens tonight, so if your around make sure you check it out. It’s at 79 New Montgomery Gallery in SF. The reception starts at 6pm.

    And of course if your unable to look at the show in person, you are able to check out Eugene work in the featured artists area of this very website. He also has work for sale at the show, and I’m sure if you wanted something you could reach him through his website.

  • Featured artists for May, Eugene Guynn & Minjae Lee

    I would like to thank last months featured artists, Winston Chmielinski and Steph Chard. I hope you enjoyed their work as much as I did.

    For the month of May we have two killer artists, Rhino Barking Sparrow (Eugene Guynn) from San Francisco and Minjae Lee from Korea. Both of these artists have very exciting work, so head on over to the featured artists area and take a look.

  • aotd: “Dreaming” by Molly Brill

    dreaming_mocabri.jpg
    Today’s piece is from Molly Brill aka Mocabri. She has a killer style, each piece is literally stuffed with texture. I love the look of watercolor that has been used in this way, I’m sure many of you have heard me say this a hundred times.

    This specific piece was made using watercolor, watercolor pencils, acrylics and charcoal. The colors are pleasing and I love the contrast of the well rendered face, contrasted with that explosion of color and texture that surrounds it. Molly has been doing this for a bit, but is still really just getting started. I know a good amount of artists, including myself that would have loved to have such a hold on their style at such a young age. I’m really excited to see how she grows in the coming years. Expect to see amazing work from her.

    She now has a carbonmade profile so you can see all of her current work, and keep up with new work. Check it out here

  • Blackmetal Beethoven print by Angryblue

    IF_BlackMetalBeethOven_ArtPrint.jpg
    Justin Kamerer aka Angryblue has a new print up for sale. It’s the Blackmetal Beethoven, with Joker style colors. I think it’s a killer idea to mix the iconic Joker colors with the “black metal” style of face painting. The print is a 6 color print, with metallic purple and metallic red. It’s a hefty 18″ x 24″ and is limited to an edition of 75.

    You can also check out the whole process of making this print, and get a good idea of how vibrant the colors are over on this online sketchbook at Creativestem.com. I really dig seeing the process of these prints, it shows you just how much work goes into each one of these.

    Head on over to Angryblue to pick up one of these killer prints. Blackmetal Beethoven print

  • aotd: “Pink Team Stormtrooper” by Toby Stanger

    __Pink_team_stormtrooper___by_TobySasquatch.jpg
    Today’s art of the day comes from Toby Stanger. He was going to be in the B Movie show, but unfortunately things came up. Hopefully he will be able to submit to the show next year, if I am able to do it again.

    Toby has a really killer style, and you can see by this piece, a great imagination as well. I’ve seen a tye-dyed hippie stormtrooper, and even a pink Darth Vader, but never a tiki influenced pink stormtrooper. Just chillin, having a drink.

    Check out of the rest of his work, and if your interested this painting is for sale.

  • John Cebollero 2008 sketchbook for sale

    cebollero_sketchbook.jpg
    John Cebollero has a sketchbook available on his site right now. The book was first released at the 2008 New York Comic Con, but for those of us that weren’t able to attend that function, we can get his book from his site.

    The book is 24 pages, features 26 drawings and illustrations and is signed on the very first page. It also features a never before seen collaboration with Richard Corben. This sketchbook will set you back less than a meal at a fast food joint, so there is no reason to pass this up. These sketchbooks are limited an edition of 500.

    Also, if you look in the Creep Machine store the painting that John submitted to the B Movie Show is still available. It’s quite an amazing painting, it really shows how great John is with paint and how much he rocks with ink.
