Today’s piece is from French artist Lisa Falzon, otherwise known as Meluseena. She works both digitally, as well a traditionally. I think her style transfers over quite well.
I really dig the look of the piece, the face being so stylized. It really is a unique looking face. I love portrait work, and when the artist can make the face look like something we have never seen before, it’s even better.

I’ve been watching Ashley’s blog for a while, to find out exactly what this “WWR” project is. Well, they now have a preview image of this very cool collectible.
It will be called “WWR Release 1.0 Rothchild Mechanics P-57 AKA Bertie the Pipebomb”. This robot will hit the stores April 2008. I really dig the paintjob on it, it’s 14 inches tall, and the killer part is that it has 43 points of articulation.
The pic says Desert Bertie paintjob, does this mean that there will be more than one paintjob to choose from, or how cool would it be if it was like the Dunny? Design your own Bertie.

Every once in a while I find an amazing artist, that just seems to have disappeared. No way that I can contact them. It’s especially hard when they use a nickname.
So todays piece is from Matt, or Tabum, whichever one it is. The artwork is amazing. The picture clearly shows the brushwork going on the painting, I really dig the whole color scheme. The expressions on those elephants are great.
Matt’s whole gallery is quite amazing, it’s too bad I have no where else to direct you. So if you want to see more, head over to his profile. If anyone knows where Matt is, let me know.

Today’s piece if from an illustrator out of Romania, Dominus Elf. I was looking for some more info about the Revelations weekend, and stumbled onto this work. The artist says that it was inspired by the work that Andrew Jones does. If you have seen any of Andrew Jones work, you can clearly see the influence.
I love the colors, they really pop out at you, and all the little details and shapes in this one really make this an intense piece. Head on over to the artists site, he has a lot of impressive work and even some tutorials and brushes for the artists out there.
The solo show of Ahren Hertel at the Gallery 1988 in LA is now online for you to oogle at. The pieces look amazing, it really helps that G1988 has a killer photographer. In some of the photos you can really see the canvas texture, and they are all well lit. I love the imagery that is in each of these pieces, the reoccurring characters, the worms, eggs(?) and of course the big eye, little eye thing he has going on.
There is such a good variety of work, he has oil on canvas, graphite on paper and even some hand sculpted works. They also have a print available based on the drawing “On Guard”. The print is a 10×17″ lithograph, and each one has also had some oil paint added, so you know each print is different. The prints are limited to 25. If you want one, head over to the site and give them a call.
Every Year ConceptArt.org and Massive Black put together a weekend workshop, filled with the best artists in the business. Teaching techniques in anything from digital art, painting, life drawing, you name it. If the best tricks are to be learned from successful artists, then this is the best place to go.
This years event is called Revelations, and will be at the Bell Harbor International Conference Center in Seattle, WA. It will be from January 4th to the 7th. The list of artists that will be teaching there is amazing, here’s a sample: Andrew Jones, Jason Chan, Shawn Barber, Kevin Llewellyn, Brom and Michael Hussar.
So if you would to go, head over to the site, or sit and home and gnash your teeth like I will no doubt be doing. This is a great opportunity to learn from such great artists, all in one area.
Speaking of Michael Hussar, there will also be some print news released later on in the week. I’m very excited about this one.
