A Paper Tiger has added a new print to the shop. “Befriend” is 12″ x 15.25″, signed and numbered in an edition of 25 for $100. The site is also having a holiday sale, so all print from now until December 25th are 15% off. It a good time to get some prints from the shop for a cheaper price, and before they sell out.

I always enjoy any new work that Dave MacDowell posts. He has such a great style; not only with painting skill but ideas as well. He had a painting on view at the “MultiUniversal” show at Art Basel this past December 3rd, that I had to share. Entitled “Pacino” this painting is 18″ x 14″ and acrylic on canvas. The best part is that the painting style is impasto, not something you see with his work. He is usually very controlled with the painting, but this energetic brushy style is amazing. It still retains the beautiful colors he gets in each of his painting, and the way that he represents the figure, there is just all those brushy little marks that really make this painting pop! I really hope we see some more works like this in the future. Click on the image to see a bigger version, necessary to see all that texture.

Lori Earley has just added a new print to her online shop. This is the first in a new line of smaller, more affordable prints for the fans. “Audrey” is the first of these prints at 8″ x 12″, signed and numbered in an edition of 125 for $75 each. Excited to see what else will enter this new price range.

First mentioned here, the Hyaena Gallery in Burbank has a new group show that will be opening December 19th entitled “Kill Your Idols”. The show is centered around artists pushing past those, that inspired them to create art in the first place. I think it’s a great idea, while it is a good idea to have some strong influences being able to move away from them and carve a niche for yourself is the ultimate goal. The list of artists features work by Dan Harding, Peter Adamyan, Tatomir, Chris “The Creep” Densmore, Spinestealer, Rick “Dienzo” Blanco and more. The show is online to view as of the 15th. The standout pieces for me are the ones by Dan Harding, Dienzo and Peter Adamyan (all shown).
It’s an amazing show, make sure you head over to the site and check out all the work:

Jason Goad has just added some original drawings to his 1000markets store. The drawings include an Obama portrait, “17 is the Loneliest Number” and “Trapjaw” a drawing he had in the “Masters of the Universe” Tribute Show. The drawings are all 8.5″ x 11″, graphite on Canson paper. One of things that is hard to see from images on the net, is how insanely detailed Jason is with his crosshatching. Areas that look like simple pencil shading is really tightly woven hatch marks, that look like a machine pulled them off. It’s an amazing effect to see and makes your eyes go a little wonky. Along with the drawings there are also some prints and posters to be had.

The folks over at Dirty Pilot have just released one of the most amazing Ron English prints I have seen in a while. “The Electric Ghosts (Daniel Johnston & Jack Medicine)” is a print for the collaborative music project “Electric Ghosts” featuring Daniel Johnston and Jack Medicine (Don Goede). The two come up with some really great music, worthy of a print that is this cool looking. The print by Ron English is 20″ x 20″ on archival fine art paper, hand signed By Daniel Johnston, Ron English and Jack Medicine. The print is limited to a very small run of only 10. Daniel Johnston has number one, Jack Medicine has number two & Ron English has number three. So that leaves three for the rest of us since a few others were sold at various galleries. Really wish this came out earlier so I could have budgeted holiday funds better.

It’s been a long time since I have seen any new work from the artist known as Eightpussy. The last painting was for the “This is the End” show back in March. I know that she has been apprenticing to become a tattoo artist, which is a great idea. I can only imagine what she will be able to do with her insane color palettes. It looks as though she has been working on some art again and even came up with a cool little series, the “Crack Cocaine Superheroes Series”. This is such a great idea, and if your like me and grew up in some pretty rough areas, people who look like this are all too familiar. What I love about her art is that she is able to get the smoothest, most beautiful rendering of people with the material she uses and then do the opposite such as these. The faces in these images look run down and far from glamorous. Can’t wait to see more.
Until then, keep up to date on her profile: Eightpussy @ Myspace
