  • Nathan Spoor, Shadow Banquet show

    NS_Homecoming.jpgIf your in the Phoenix, AZ area you might want to head on over to the Perihelion Arts gallery and check out the opening of Nathan Spoor’s solo show, The Shadow Banquet.

    The show is already online for your viewing, and buying pleasure. There are some really cool pieces in there, I love the one called “Homecoming” (shown). It looks like a squid to me, and I like squids.

    I like the change in seeing such dark works, nice black backgrounds. It looks quite striking really.

  • aotd: “Me”

    me_by_vishuskinit.jpg
    Today being Halloween and all, I thought I would pick a piece for “art of the day” that seems fitting. This is an oil, self portrait painting by Nick Filth. Is it a zombie? dunno. Does it look like me when I wake up? most definitely.

    I really love this self portrait, I love the styling of the face and the whole energy of it. Perfect just how it is.

    If you like this piece, make sure you head on over to this artists profile to see more.

  • Paper Pushers @ Gallery 1988 tonight

    Alberto1.jpgTonight at the Gallery 1988 in SF, the Paper Pushers show opens. It’s a huge show featuring all works that are on paper, so you will see not only drawings, but paintings as well.

    The list of artists is huge. Gallery 1988 seriously puts on some great shows, between Paper Pushers, I am 8 Bit, Crazy 4 Cult and the upcoming Bitters and Sweets, I’ll be writing about their shows a lot.

    I tried to make it to the show, but my car did not allow me to. Looks like it’s time to trade that ol hooptie in for another. So, like me a preview of the show may be the best.

    So watch the Gallery 1988 page for more. And take a look at the preview page:

    Artist and model Zoetica has put some of her paintings up on Etsy for sale.

    There is a good amount of paintings for sale, and she will be listing some prints soon as well. Along with her own art, as well as modeling she also writes for the website Coilhouse. It’s a cool site that I have added to the sidebar there, and it says that they will make a print version which is coo, i’m glad to see people still care about print.

  • aotd: “Garden Weep”

    garden_weep_by_BlueBlack.jpg
    Today’s piece is from Natalie Shau. It’s so hard to pick a work to show from her, since her whole gallery is quite inspiring.

    This particular piece caught my eye for so many reasons. I love the scratches, and the aged almost daguerreotype feel to it. The facial expression, the whole mouth area is amazing. I really hope this one turns into a print soon.

    Make sure you check out her gallery, it’s so very worth it. She has such a great style, and is consistent in what she does.

  • Candykiller Letter Pressed pre-order

    BingPress.jpgThe amazing Letter Pressed is taking pre-orders for two Brian Taylor (Candykiller) prints.

    The first one, Bingo the Wonder Dog is “8×10 inches,two-color letterpress on Somerset soft-white 100% cotton paper, and its signed/numbered edition of 90”
    The second one, Presston Mini print is “5×7 inches, one-color letterpress on 100% cotton paper , numbered edition of 50”.

    They both look great, and there isn’t many of them left. As I write this only 16 of Bingo, and 2 of the Presston. I have a Paul Chatem print from Letter Pressed and it looks amazing, so I know these ones will be worth it.

    You can also head over to BlueFlip and get some Candykiller prints there, if you happen to miss the pre-order. Candykiller on BleuFlip

  • Ben Templesmith’s Poppycock show online

    So, if you couldn’t make it down there but wanted to score some original art, nows your chance. I like how you get the original piece, and a print of the finished product. Very cool. His work is only getting more and more popular.
