If you are a long time reader of the site, the name Dean McDowell is a familiar one. He had works in not only the “Attack of the B Movie Show“, but the “This is the End” group show as well. He recently got his homepage running again, has been featured on a bunch of art sites around the net, and most importantly has some new work to share. Makes sure you check out Dean’s new homepage, and follow him on the various social networks.
This past Friday, February 4th, Strychnin Gallery opened of the more unique shows I have seen in a while. “The Mad Potters Tea Party” features custom designed ceramics from over 100 international artists. Limited edition plates, teapots, vases, teacups and saucers created by artists such as Chris Mars, Ray Caesar, KRK Ryden, Caitlin Hackett, David Stein, Seymour, David Stoupakis, Camilla d’Errico, Kristen Ferrell, Bethany Marchman, Jason Jacenko, David Hochbaum, Saturno Buttò, Martina Secondo Russo, Ver Mar, Scott Holloway, Edith Lebeau, Brian Horton, and many more. I thought it was a great idea when some limited edition cups and saucers were released by UK’s This is Limited Edition, and most of these sets of long since sold out. The ceramics seen here at Strychnin are far more limited and unique. Chris Mars for example has created some round, plate style paintings before (featured), however I was really surprised to see how amazing his works looks on a Durham vase and Teapot. Make sure you check out this show after you look at the preview images.
Gallery 1988 in Melrose opened the latest solo show of Scott Campbell this past Friday, February 4th, entitled “The Great Showdowns”. If you have been following Scott C’s Tumblr, “Great Showdowns” then this show is really just a gathering of work that has been posted for the past few weeks. It is pretty staggering to see how much work there is, and how many movies that Scott C addresses in these works. From what I have been told the work is selling very well, and it is the most popular movies that are selling the best. Scott’s drawing is very consistent and fluid, I do hope that people take the time to look at the “showdowns” from movies they are less familiar with and see how great Scott is at making these showdowns look amazing. The full preview should be online in the next few days.
Heidi Taillefer, a very exciting artist born in Montreal, Quebec, has just released two limited edition prints. These are the first prints that Heidi has offered and are now available rom von Scaramouche. “Venus Envy” and “Killing for Sport” are both 19″ x 25″ on 100lb medium stock paper, signed and numbered in editions of 40. I like how the site also gives some details about each print, and the background story.
Phantom City Creative recently teamed up with Twitch Film and TIFF Bell Lightbox to bring this new poster for a movie everyone is sure to know. This new design group has been putting out some killer posters, such as this trio of print based on Robert Wise movies (here) and now this new one for The Goonies. I could definitely see this poster being used for a collectors edition dvd.
