    Dennis (Bagger43) Brown will have a solo show at the Thinkspace Gallery this November 9th. The show will go until the 30th. The show is called “Pthalo and Umber”, and the Reception is from 7-11pm on the 9th.

    This should be a great show, Dennis has a great style. I love the way he paints, his figures and color schemes. I hope he releases some high quality giclee prints soon. The show should be online in the next few days, so head on over and take a look. You can also see more work from Dennis on his homepage.

  • aotd: “Paradox”

    paradox_by_god_of_insects.jpg
    I’ve always loved looking at sketchbooks. It gives you a great insight into how the artist works, and thinks. There are also so many different ways one may treat their sketchbook. Real messy little doodles, or even little paintings, like the one shown here. The artists name, is unknown to me as of yet, but she goes by the screen name “god of insects”.

    For a sketchbook entry, this is great. I love the color scheme, and very energetic brush strokes. This has all the qualities of being a quick loose sketch, while also being a finished piece. Looking through her gallery, I can really see that she has some great tool at hand. I’ll definitely be posting some more of her work. If you would like to see more, head on over.

  • “Cthulhu” statue by MeatSpider

    I’ve posted the work of MeatSpider before, he makes some of the coolest H.P. Lovecraft statues around. This one for sale is one of the biggest I have seen from him yet.

    It’s of Cthulhu and is “a massive 11.5 inches tall and 6.5 inches wide at the widest part”. It’s hand sculpted and painted, so you know each piece is one of a kind. There isn’t much longer for this piece, so head on over. If you miss it, e-mail the artist and maybe commission a piece.

  • “Sweet Calaveras” @ Yves Laroche Gallery

    jasondaquino.jpgA group show with some really great artists opened on October 31st. The gallery is called Yves Laroche, and this is the first time I have heard of it. Glad I stumbled onto it.

    The show is called “Sweet Calaveras”, and has some amazing work in it. All inspired by the skull, we can see work from Shawn Barber, Audrey Kawasaki, Luke Chueh, Daniel Martin Diaz, Jason D’Aquino, Blaine Fontana, Travis Louie, Sauerkids and many others. One of the artists that I have never seen before is David Choquette. He has a great style and fits my tastes instantly.

    Anyway, head on over to the link and take a look at the show. Available works are on the site.

  • Audrey Kawasaki “Mizuame” time limited print.

    mizuprint.jpg
    Audrey Kawasaki is releasing a new print, and a new way of selling them, one that might help some fans get their hands on a print this time.

    As opposed to previous prints being limited to a specific number, this print is limited to one hour. So if you e-mail an order in from 3-4pm pacific, you are guaranteed a print. This is not one of those tiny prints either, this one is big 16×20″. She said they don’t plan on doing this method too much, so if you’ve been trying to score a print form her, now is the time, or else it’s back to 5 minute sell-outs.

    Here is all the info you need to order one: Mizuame Time Limited Print order info

  • aotd: “the healing tape of chief goph”

    the_healing_tape_of_chief_goph_by_eriksart.jpg
    Todays piece marks the new site redesign, a little easier to move around, and hopefully not giving the impression of being only for dark art.

    This piece is by Erik Stenberg, an artist out of Indiana. This a great humorus piece, and yet another artist that can really get down with acrylic paint. I love the expression on the gophers face, “so your eye is out, here’s a band-aid”.

    Check out the rest of this artists work. Erik Stenberg
