“7” is from an artist out of South Korea known as greno89. It looks to me as its watercolor, and shows how well the artist can control the medium. I’ve been on a watercolor kick lately, and this piece not only fits that bill, but is very powerful.
The artist said this piece was made after he failed the entrance exam for a University. I can feel it just looking at this piece, I can think of all the time I have felt like this before. The color matches the mood perfect. The design int he background gives me the feeling this person is in a bathroom, or somewhere else that is just cold and sterile.
I really love this piece. This artist has an amazing gallery. After your done gawking at this piece, head on over and look at the rest of his gallery.

“A few photos from the Copro Nason Next Gen show are posted here
It was a great show with a lot of sales throughout the night.”
It’s been a while since i’ve chosen a photo for art of the day. So here a piece by an artist from Chile known as Loganart.
I really dig the angle of the photo, and the color is amazing. he says that the photo was taken in the summer. The sky looks quite nutty in the background, looks like a summer day I’ll never see in the area I live in. I really like how old and dingy the photo looks, but there is still a good amount of contrast to it.

This piece is a mixed media painting by an artist(s) from Spain that go(es) by the name Haunted Hearts.
The piece is mixed media, so it a nice variety of materials, looks like some sort of paper all curled up and most likely acrylic paint.
I love the look of this piece, the character is unique and amazing looking. The color scheme is wonderful, a nice burnt sienna/umber background that contrasts and pops the character out even more. Very smooth as well, the little death character looks very well rendered. This is the type of character that would make a great repeating character in a graphic novel, series of painting, or so on. I do hope they make this lil guy again.
Head on over to the artists homepage and profile to see even more work along the same vein:

Angie Mason will have a solo show July 13th at the Strychnin Gallery in Berlin.
So, if you have the ability to go, head on over to the show. There will be a special guest artist, Christina Graf. I’m sure most of you though, will be like me and have to ogle the images when the website releases them.

Well today is the day that the latest movie, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” comes out in theaters. I will be making my way to see it sometime today, sans Hogwarts Scarf and wand though, I’m a fan but not that hardcore.
I did decide to go looking for some Harry Potter art though, mainly by the cover artist Mary Grandpre. She does all of the cover art for the books, and has a pretty cool style. I found a good amount of prints, and it looks like all of them are from editions of 250.
You can find them all here at the Animation Art Gallery.
Or if you want a save some cash, you can head over and grab some from this seller who has four of the prints for sale: Harry Potter Prints
