Kelly Vivanco will have a solo show entitled: “Dispatch From the Peppermint Forest” from August 17th to September 2nd. The opening reception on the 17th will be from 6-10pm.
If you head over to the Subtext site you can also look at a preview of the show. It looks like it’s going to be an amazing show, head on over and take a look. Also take a look at the artists website as well.
Dark Horse Presents is the title that helped to get the company where it is today, and it’s also the comic that got into the various titles they put out. It’s been gone for a long time, and now it’s back and free.
With.. a catch, well at least to me. It’s online, but you have to visit a Myspace page that is basically where you will read the comic. Befriend them, and then read when new stories are out. Myspace may not bug as many people as it does me, but it’s still news, and I will begrudgingly visit the site.
I had to put this as today’s piece. Not only because it’s simply amazing, but it’s of a gorilla, riding a boneshaker (hiwheel) bike. This piece is from Linda Herzog, and is oil 30×20.
The gorilla looks so amazing, and the background is perfect for the scene. The moth on the bottom right is quite a nice touch. I can’t tell if it’s supposed to be int he scene, or on the canvas, breaking the illusion that this is a painting much like some of the Italian Masters did with a bottle, or some other object to show that this is just a painting. Either way, it’s brilliant.
If you like this piece, make sure you head over to the artists site and look at all of her work. She is very talented, especially knowing she has no formal training.
The first batch of new collectible toys from Attaboy are available. They are called “Qwezshuns” and they look very smooth.
“Each 6″ Qwezshun Figure is hand casted and painted uniquely, Sculpted by Danelle Vierkant.
The boxes were done by becausewecan.org, each with its own cut thru number
with Cliff Base display stand and a lid hand painted by Attaboy”

It’s been a bit since I’ve been able to post another art of the day. There is just so much great art out there, and I need to find the time to find it all.
This piece is a painter, well I don’t know much about her really, not much written in her Profile. She goes by “hardcoremiike”. The main point is that this painting is quite amazing. It’s based off of a fictional character from Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. The rendering on the face looks perfect, I have always felt that if your going to do realistic based face – as opposed to the more illustration like, cartoon like that is going on as well – I think people should really be able to paint the face as if it existed and took up space. This one cuts it very well, and the background is great, I love the colors.
Make sure you head over and check out the rest of the artist’s work:hardcoremiike
The Second Installment of the Ninja Show will happen this weekend at the Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, Ca. I never went to the first one, but this one looks like a show you don’t want to miss. The theme obviously being ninjas, and who doesn’t like ninjas? Theme shows are great, and this one is going to be very cool.
There are 50 artists involved in this show, some which I’m very excited about like: Aaron Jasinksi, Ben Kehoe, Charlie Wen, Edwin Ushiro, Luke Chueh and many more. If you’re lucky enough to go to the show, here’s what’s in store on the opening night:
– Free Refreshments
– Come dressed as a Ninja and receive 15% off all instore merchandise.
– There will be plenty of door prizes and sponsored give aways.
– And there’s a raffle ticket give away!
At the Copronason Gallery there will be two simultaneous shows going on. In gallery 2 Amy Sol, and in Gallery 1 Kathie Olivas with her show entitled: “Ghosts & Martyrs”. Kathie will also have sculptures along with paintings.
Both shows will start August 11th, with the reception running 8-11:30pm ad the shows will end on September 1st.
I would love to go this show, two greats shows at once. I’m very curious to see what Kathie Olivas ‘ sculptures will look like.
You can see the paintings now, most of which have sold already.
