A group show called “Packed and Loaded” will be opening June 19th at the Los Angeles Gallery 1988.
The artists that will be shown are: Brandt Peters, Isaac Pierro, Jen Rarey, Israel Sanchez, Camilla D’Errico, Erik Alos, Heiko Windisch, and Rachel Wong. Quite an impressive list.
The show will run until July 13th, so you have some time to see it.
Brandt Peters has a preview of his work that will be shown, here.
I haven’t done one of these searches for a while, but I found enough cool work this weekend to put together another one. I was inspired by the the Weta Ray Guns that will be coming out in September.
So I went looking for other metal based sculptures. I love sci-fi looking stuff, add that the rusted metal and it makes for great collectibles.
The Raku Ray Guns look very cool, are one of a kind and much cheaper than the Weta ones.
Lockwasher Design not only makes ray guns, but also Robot, rocket and other sculptures. Most from found objects.
Aside from robots & ray guns, I found these amazing lamps by Frank Buchwald, I would love to have one these babies.
The work of Christopher Conte is also quite exciting. (Image above) He uses resin, bronze and various metals. I think his work would look great in a show with the work of Kris Kuksi.
Right now there are three Jeff Soto originals for sale.
The first one is actually a sketch that was done for the 2006 San Diego Comic Con. Just a small drawing on 8.5×11″ paper. I tried to find out, but im not sure yet if he will be there for the 2007 Comic Con. Comic Con Drawing
The next two are being sold by the same person, and are both small paintings. Like around 3.5″ blocks. Not super big really, but they are worth looking at. Window shopping if you will. The one I like the most have at the top here.

In case you haven’t seen the pics from the Vader Project, I just now got around to it, you can find a whole mess of them on the following two links.
The first link is for the Vader Project Flickr account. Each helmet has two angles and the description card. Easiest way to start the Flickr one, is choose the normal Vader helmet and then move on in order. Helps you to see who made which helmet. Flickr Vader
Or if you don’t care, and maybe wanted to just guess, head over to the second link. All the images are one page, so it will take a bit to load. I’m not sure that every helmet is accounted for. Vader
The one I chose above is from Jeff Soto, I really love his style.
Today’s piece come from a Laguna Beach artist named Orion Fisher. He has an amazing gallery, this is just one of the first pieces that caught my eye.
The dripping paint looks like it really is hanging off his nose, very convincing. Also a very cool way to incorporate the paint into the portrait as opposed to just having a normal portrait. I think it would kind of cool for a small run of works like this, just a small amount so that they don’t get old, regardless this is a fantastic piece.

Today’s piece comes from Joseph Larkin out of Columbus, OH.
If you head over to his homepage, you’ll see that he uses anything from acrylic, oil, mixed media, charcoal and ink. He has a huge gallery, filed with all sorts of imagery both dark and surreal. The piece above is one of his latest and caught my eye quickly, I love pencil work and this one is wonderful. Great figure drawing abilities, and the chimaera is great, very trippy. If you look close enough to the Chimaera, you’ll see why a big Naoto Hattori fan like myself would like this piece.
Make sure you check out his homepage and profile.
MeatSpider studios has two new auctions going on right now, a Cthulhu relic statue similar to the one that I first posted about, and a new one. A Cthulhu Tsathogghua Statue (above), and this thing looks very sweet indeed.
It’s around 8 inches tall and 5 inches wide, the color on this one is great. Have a look at the auctions and maybe pick yourself up one.
