    In this piece, the artist has employed a compositional tension that urges the viewer to consider many questions. Answers may be gleaned only through subjective interpretation.

  • New Dan May giclee at Blue Bottle Art


    There is a new Dan May giclee print available at the Blue Bottle Art Gallery.

    The piece is called “Belly of the Beast” and is 11.7″ x 12″. It looks great, I really dig the colors and the transparency of that ghostly white body.

    I’ve actually purchased work from Blue Bottle Art Gallery before, and they are wonderful to deal with. The painting that I bought was packaged very well, and came in perfect condition. If you order this print, there is no doubt that it will arrive perfect, ready for framing.

    Here is where you can order it: Blue Bottle Art Gallery

  • Arthur Suydam Original Watercolor


    Arthur Suydam, the cover artist on many zombie comics as of late such as Marvel Zombies, Raise the Dead and even the new Tick comic.

    He has a great style, and possibly makes the best looking zombies, well next to Bernie Wrightson.
    This piece is not a zombie, but is a remix on the Vitruvian Man, but in a cyborg kind of way.
    It’s one of a kind, watercolor 11″ x 12″ on paper that is 16.5″ x 11″.

    You can also check the website listed to see all the covers Suydam has done, with the original that inspired it.

  • aotd: “Jellyfish”

    Today we have a vector piece from an artist out of Switzerland known as Limkis.

    I chose this piece for the colors, nice bright reds really punch you in the eye, and of course because it’s a full vector piece. I think vector can look amazing when it is done well. It can be very artistic maybe I should say. The way Limkis works with the vector shapes, it’s like they are laid down like a brush would do. Very cool. Take a look at her whole gallery, she has this style consistently throughout all her pieces.

    I love finding vector art that looks like the artist spent a considerable amount of time on the piece, as well as defining a style that is recognizable as their own.

  • “Face Off”, Joe Ledbetter original


    There is currently a Joe Ledbetter original acrylic painting for sale right now. It’s 24×24″ and looks quite smooth.

    The most important thing about this auction is the example that I wanted to show. If you head over to the auction, you will see that the seller gives provenance for the painting (Gallery 1988), with signed proof. This is ideal for buying works through auction sites, especially when they are this expensive.

    You can’t always get signed proof, but if you can get as close as possible to tracing down where the work came from, the less likely you’ll get ripped off.

  • Garbage Pail art by John Cebollero


    John Cebollero has an original piece for sale. It’s 8.5×11 acrylic paint on bristol board. It will also come with a certificate of authenticity.

    The name of this painting is “scrapped BROOKE”, and it looks like it came from the 6th series of GPK.

    It looks great, I love the colors and of course if you collected the cards like I did, it’s also quite nostalgic.

    Here it is if you want it. Scrapped BROOKE

  • aotd: “Autumn to come”

    This piece is by Tomek Karelus from Warsaw. Its a digital piece, and from what the artist said it’s well over 100 layers! That’s pretty impressive.

    I think what is most impressive and what really caught me about this piece is how much is looks like acrylic paint. Some nice dry brush style, like Amanda Visell does. Of course the colors and characters are top notch as well.

    Head on over to the artists profile and take a look at all his amazing art.

  • Whaleboy release party, with inspired art.


    On July 5th, at Munky King in Los Angeles will be the Whaleboy release party. Whaleboy is a new collectible created by Patrick Morgan.

    There is even a goth version that will be available, limited to 100 pieces. Also during the show art inspired by Whaleboy will be there too look at.

    Whaleboy is a seriously cool character. The goth version looks pretty cool, although I do wish they would make the gimp version shown on the right there. Also you can take a look at art from Bobby Chiu inspired by Whaleboy, right here.
