  • “Mooi” original for sale by Scott French

    Mooi_by_sfrench.jpg
    Scott French is selling one of his smaller figure studies. Instead of having the piece in the galleries he regularly shows at he is offering this painting for a much cheaper price.

    It’s oil on canvas and is 8″ x 10″. Scott is an amazing painter and this study really shows how in tune he is with the figure and his amazing brushwork. This painting was done in only 30 minutes. My favorite part has to be the hair, it’s so wild and dynamic. This is really a great piece.

  • “Maniac” process video by Tanya Pshenychny

    Tanya was cool enough to make a video showing her working process, and it just so happens to be one of the pieces in the B Movie Show. It’s from the movie “Maniac” and it looks amazing. I wish I could use watercolors with such confidence. She’s just laying it down with no worries.
    To check out the video, please head over to the “Attack of the B Movie Art Show” page. This way the video won’t slow down the loading of this page. You can also see an updated list of the participating artists and grab some buttons and banners if you want to help spread the word.

  • aotd: “Restrained” by Janine A. Perry

    Restrained_18x24.jpg
    Today’s piece is from Janine A Perry, who up until a while ago was working in in the advertising world. She decided the corporate world wasn’t for her so she made a change, and is now concentrating on her art. Looking at her art I think it was a wise decision.

    She has an amazing surreal style to her paintings, I can already imagine some of the galleries that will be interested in showing her work. She is also quite skilled with drawings as well. If you head over to her site you can see all of the work she has done so far, and even pick up a print of her amazing pencil work.

    Keep an eye on her here:

    One of the artists that will be showing work in the “Attack of the B Movie Art Show” is Dienzo. He’s an amazing artist and I’m excited to have him on board.

    He currently has prints available on his site, but he has also just released some open-edition prints. So if you’re looking for some art, but wouldn’t mind it being way more affordable, head on over to to his ebay site. He has a huge amount of prints available. The one shown above is “Leonard Searching”, I love the expression in this one. The print is 10″ x 12.5″ with a 2″ border.

  • aotd: “Pet Shop” by Laura Wächter

    Pet_Shop_by_novac.jpg
    I don’t post enough sketches as art of the day, so here is one by Laura Wächter an artist out of Spain.

    Laura has an amazing style. Her work has that timeless quality to it, much like Scott Radke, Claudia Drake & Cristina Beller has. Your just not sure what era it comes from, which ads to the overall surreal quality of it. I love the expression on her face in this one.

  • 3-Day Painting Workshop with Michael Hussar

    hussar_allaprima.jpeg
    If your like me you missed the opportunity to go to the “Revelations” workshop put on by Conceptart.org, where one of the many artists teaching there was Michael Hussar. It was a great opportunity, and you can see what you missed in these photos by Phil Holland.

    It now looks like there will be another chance, this time in Pasadena instead of Seattle. Michael Hussar will be teaching a 3 day painting workshop the end of this month. The workshop will be taking place the weekend of the 28, 29 & 30th. More details will be announced, but I imagine if you want to go to this, do not wait. Head on over to BirdBath Publishing and reserve your spot now. This is a great opportunity to learn from such an amazing painter. Make sure to message me and brag if you go.

    On a side note, it looks as though there is a “Hans Memling” and “Daddy’s Little Girl” print for sale as well.

  • aotd: “Crucifixion 001” by R.S. Connett

    CRUCIFIXION_001_by_vmaximus.jpg
    Today’s art of the day is from R.S. Connet, otherwise known as Vomitus Maximus. Much like Jeff Soto and many other artists, Connett is worrried about the future of our world and what we are doing to it. Jeff Soto’s last show at the Jonathan Levine Gallery was pretty much centered around this idea as well, with Connett’s work though you get the idea as clear as a firm slap on the face.

    Looking at this piece it’s quite clear that whatever is going on is bad. The sky reminds me of my hometown and it’s awful air quality. Just looking at this make my lungs constrict. I was just noticing today people were walking around in shorts, jogging and enjoying the sun. The whole time I was tripping out. It’s only March and flowers are blooming and sneezes are plentiful. This shouldn’t be a problem, but where I live it should be foggy right now. I’m glad artists like R.S. Connett are also disturbed by what is going on, and all that seems to go unnoticed.

    For more of R.S. Connett’s amazing, surreal paintings check out his homepage. He also has a huge amount of prints to choose from.
