  • “Where Time Beckons the Wicked” by Dan May

    “Where Time Beckons the Wicked” by Dan May

    Dan May has just released a new commission painting he was working on, that I had to share here. Dan’s work has always been mystical, colorful, and always growing forward with each new painting becoming more intense. This new painting steps this up a notch in a big way. Coming in at 60″ x 30″, “Where Time Beckons the Wicked” is a window into Dan’s world that gives a clearer view than ever before. The colors have that amazing muted feel his most recent works have, and not only does this painting contain a human figure, but some animals, and some of the unique creatures Dan is so well known for. It’s a stunning image to view on a monitor, I can only imagine how impressive it is in person. I know this painting took ages to create, but I do hope we see some more large scale works such as this from Dan in the future. Click the image for a larger version.

  • “Mr Breakfast” by Chris B Murray

    “Mr Breakfast” by Chris B Murray

    Chris B Murray has just released a new painting that will be featured in another tribute show hosted at Gallery 1988. The show is dedicated to Pee Wee Herman, and will feature art by a huge list of artists. Chris tackled the “Mr Breakfast” character seen in the first scene in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, and managed to make an amazing image any Pee Wee fan would love that’s also a little creepy at the same time. It has to be those bacon lips. For all those interested in the process of artists, Chris added some process photos over at his blog. I would love to see a video of Chris painting, much like Eric Fortune has done in the past (here).

  • Limited edition etchings by Laurie Lipton

    Mastermind of graphite, Laurie Lipton has some limited edition etchings now available in her online shop. The great thing about etchings is the clarity of the print, and with Laurie’s intense detail, etchings are the best choice. The etchings range is size, but are around 17″ x 20″, signed and numbered by the artist in editions of 60.

She received her BFA from Kennesaw State University, and has since shown her work in such venues as Gallery Nucleus, Thinkspace Gallery, and Art Basel Miami.

  • Tim Biskup launches new web site

    Tim Biskup has recently redesigned his homepage, and has made it easier for fans to check out his work, keep up to date with news and so on. The gallery is now done in a way where you can see all the work on one page dating all the way back to 2000, and see some art you might have never seen before such as this collaboration between Tim Biskup, Gary Baseman, and Mark Ryden entitled “Snowy Black Luck”. Head on over and take a look at the new website.

  • New works by Cam Rackam

    New works by Cam Rackam

    Currently at the Congregation Gallery is a group show entitled “Necropolis” (featured), that features three new paintings by Cam Rackam. The images on the gallery page were a little too pixelated, or maybe they were not taking with enough light, but either way Cam added some nice clean photos of these three paintings to his Facebook page. Each of the paintings is made with oil on masonite, and the cohesive color scheme and decorative frames really makes this a perfect set. It’s a shame to think that these three paintings would be split up, as they look so good together.



  • Prints: “Spring Hare” by Esao Andrews

    Saw this up on OMGposters and thought I would share it here. Esao Andrews just added a new print to his online shop entitled “Spring Hare”. The print is 16″ x 16″ with an image size of 14.5″ x 14.5″, signed and numbered in an edition of 100. Beautiful looking print, the colors are intense.

  • Medusa Anamorph by Ninja1 and Mach505

    Medusa Anamorph by Ninja1 and Mach505

    Truly Design, an artist collective working out of Torino, Italy, recently posted pictures of a project that I had to share. I am pretty hooked on art inspired by Medusa imagery, not sure if I have talked about it enough, but it’s something I wrote about for many school projects and would like to work on a book featuring Gorgon art soon. Two members of the collective, Mach505 and Ninja1 were commissioned to do a mural/installation in a factory/urban lab which hosted Sub Urb Art. The mural was done in a way that it could only be seen as intended from one vantage point. Looking at the mural from any other angle simply broke the image down into shaped and abstract forms. I liked that they chose to do this, as we know the fable of Medusa is that if she looks at you, the viewer turns to stone. So in this sense the viewer is safe to look at the mural from any point other than head on, then taking in the full view of the face, she has you.
