  • “The Ride” original painting by Craola Simkins


    I saw Greg Craola Simkins work in person at Ffifty24 in San Francisco a few months ago. It was an amazing show. It blew me away how skilled Craola is with acrylics and drawing.

    The internet or photos will not give a good idea of how dynamic this artist really is. I’ve seen a good amount of prints of his for sale, but not many original pieces, they sell fast.

    There currently is one of works on auction right now, it’s called “The Ride” and is acrylic on a hand built wooden box. It was one of the pieces from the Chubby Bunny show at the Nucleus Gallery.
    It looks amazing, have a look. Also take a look at the show he had at Fifty24 in San Francisco.

    This Saturday at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, the Untitled Love Project starts. A huge list of artists will she showing their work, the pieces will also be for sale.

    The idea of the Untitled Love Project is “An emotionally influenced experiment examining the broken heart. each individual artist will revisit a past relationship through their medium (illustration, painting, photography, words, etc).”

    It looks like it will be in 3 phases, with this first phase showing work from such artists as: Sarah Joncas (above), Aaron Jasinski, Amy Sol, Andrew Hem, Audrey Kawasaki and so on.

    head over to the site and see the works, its definitely going to be a good show.

    This piece is by Andrew Hem. If you look at his homepage you’ll see he pretty has a wide range of talents, painting, drawing, sculpture.

    I love his use of color and the brush strokes he uses, his paintings are very energetic.

  • Tim Biskup show @ Billy Shire Fine Arts


    Tim Biskup is having a solo show opening this Saturday at Billy Shire Fine Arts in Culver City, CA.
    So if your lucky enough to be in the area, head on over to see the show. Or you could head over to the Billy Shire Fine Arts webpage and take a look at the work that will be shown.

    Looks like it’s going to be a great show. I’m really getting into Tim Biskup’s work lately, I love how he uses color and how he arranges his the content of his work. I know he uses cell vinyl acrylic, I’m not sure how different that is than regular acrylic paint.

    My favorites of this show would be: “Impaler”, “Dominator”, “Burning”, “Stem” and I really love “Left Hand” (above). The colors used the face are excellent. Has a great glow to it.

  • Cthulhu Relic Statue


    I was looking around for cool Lovecraft based art, and stumbled upon this little statue. Its around 5″ tall and looks pretty cool. It’s only $10!

    If you look on the artists website he has made some pretty impressive Cthulhu statues, I wouldnt mind having one of the larger ones.

  • Two Bob Zombie originals


    I just found two original paintings by an artist that goes by “Bob Zombie”. If you look at the pieces there is an obvious Michael Hussar influence, but also a little bit of Chet Zar. Both of these pieces are great, they’re both oil on canvas panel and both are 8″x8″.

    I’m really surprised no one is snagging these works. Hopefully I’ll have some more info on this artist soon. Until then, heres the link to his auctions.
