  • “The Tree of Life” print by Mark Ryden

    Porterhouse Fine Art Editions is releasing a new print by Mark Ryden this Thursday, October 21st at 8am Pacific. “The Tree of Life” painting will be in “The Artist’s Museum, Los Angeles Artists 1980-2010” group show that is taking place at the Museum of Contemporary Art. In commemoration of this event, a limited edition lithograph of “The Tree of Life” is being released. The print is 38.5″ x 26″ on heavyweight paper, embossed with Porterhouse seal, signed and numbered in an edition of 500, and comes with a certificate of authenticity. The print is being sold for $500 each, and even though thats a pretty hefty price for a lithograph print, I know this print will sell out in record time.

  • “The Psycho Legacy” @ Hyaena Gallery

    For just one night only, October 19th, the Hyaena Gallery hosted “The Psycho Legacy Art Exhibit”. In celebration of the dvd release of Psycho Legacy, there was a signing at Dark Delicacies with many of the people that worked on the movies, and then the party moved over to the Hyaena Gallery for some Psycho inspired art. Jeremy Cross, Clint Carney, Chuck Hodi, Char Hall, and Strephon Taylor were just a few of the names that participated in this one night event. There is some great work in the show, but for me the standout piece is “The House that Death Built” by Char Hall (below). Great layout, beautifully executed, and is one of those paintings that would make an art lover happy that never even saw the movies.

  • Review: Horrorwood @ WWA Gallery

    Featured just under a week ago, the Horrorwood group show at the WWA Gallery opened up. Apricot Mantle had some work in the show, and once again I was able to have him review the show and share some photos of the reception.


    Nothing beats Halloween…Unless it’s a Halloween spirit embodying art show called HORRORWOOD! The WWA Gallery in Los Angeles really put on a good show this month with 55 artists from all over the place giving their artistic takes on classic Hollywood horror. The Blob, The Wolfman, Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Birds, Dracula, Rosemary’s Baby, and Metropolis were some of the choices made by the artists in the show. The variety of styles and techniques was wonderful and inspiring to anyone to walk into the place.

  • Review: Alternative Press Expo 2010

    Ryan De La Hoz and Double Punch Gallery

    Once again, October comes and so with it the Alternative Press Expo. Besides the idea of Halloween approaching, the APE is the other event I always look forward to during this season. Rows and rows of tables filled with independent comics, zines, shirts, and most importantly (to me at least) original art and prints. The APE is a great place to score some art and prints, and you might also learn about some new artists. Along with all of the new artists hoping to get their work seen, there are some familiar names such as Josh Ellingson, Alex Pardee, Camilla d’Errico, Mats!?, Karen Hsiao, Danni Shinya Luo, Joy Ang, and many more.
