This piece is by an artist known as LilyKane. It’s a digital piece, but quite frankly could pass for traditional pencil on paper. It looks great.
What caught my eye the most, was the skills this artist has in figure drawing. The proportions are great, and the contrast of the image is perfect. I dig the “tea-like” stains in the background.
Head over to her profile and homepage to see more amazing work.
Edwin Ushiro has a solo show that opens this saturday at the Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra, CA.
If your in the area, make sure to stop by. This is Edwin’s first solo show, and by the looks of the two teaser shots there is going to be some great work there. The opening reception starts at 7pm and will go on to around 11pm.
The piece shown above is one of the works that will be shown at the solo show. It looks amazing, I love the stains and the way the figure just looms in the midst of waves and all. Hopefully there will some prints at the show, and online later.

Right now there is an original oil painting being sold by Michael Hussar directly.
The painting is of GOTTFRIED HELNWEIN’s daughter, Mercedes who is also an artist. The painting is already framed, and is around 34×38″, as stated on the auction Hussar painted this “alla prima” or all at once.
It looks amazing, I love his use of color and his energetic painting style. He is supposed to have a dvd coming out soon that shows his painting process, I’m eagerly awaiting that.
Here’s the auction:

Todays artwork of the day has two paintings in it (dyptich). The artists name is Jason Martin, he paints, illustrates, web design, you name it.
This piece really caught my eye, each one is acrylic on canvas 20×30″. I love the colors of both, and the backgrounds are really cool, especially the 1st one. The dark green stains are great, and do a good job of filling in for trees and what not.
Have a look at his website for his other work.
On this Friday June 1st Lineage Gallery is opening two shows. The first show called “Forgotten Lands” features artwork by Naoto Hattori and Greg “Craola” Simkins. Both artists have a very surreal style to them, it really is a good match for the two.
The second gallery area will be showing work from Anne Faith Nicholls. So if your actually there, you can check out both shows.
If you head over to the Lineage website to gawk, like I will be, you might want to look in the inventory area. They have great Craola giclee available (below). It’s from an edition of 50 and looks very sweet.
Jeff Soto has a Calendar coming out with Murphy Design. It will be a 13 month calendar and will also come with a sticker set, and a 32 page mini zine.
It looks like it will be available on July, but Murphy Design is taking pre-orders right now. There will only be 1,500 sets printed, so waiting is not such a good idea.
You can see the set as well as order over here at Murphy Design:

Sorry for the lull this weekend, I had to catch up with work. Anyway, this artwork of the day is by an artist named Grzegorz Krysinski. It’s a conceptual piece, and looks amazing. When digital art is done well, it can look as exciting as traditional art. I love how the artist here leaves the large digital brush strokes visible, it makes it great candy for the eye.
Here’s his profile: Grzegorz Krysinski
Todays image comes from an artists known as Hotburrito2. A very cool photo of a white Kangaroo. The artist says that “white kangaroos are not very common.
what is common about them, what they share with their darker brothers, is an ulmost unwavering dedication to daytime laziness.”
What I love about this image so much, is the look on the Kangaroos face, of course I’m using a ood doe of Personification on this Kangaroo, but I can’t help but see a smug look on this animals face.
Very cool.
