Thanks to a tip from Tom Bagshaw, I was happy to hear that Carles Gomila has just launched his new homepage. This new site is not only great looking, but is very easy to move around in as well. When you enter a new gallery there is a popup and flash gallery embedded in that, and I am usually against this, but it works well. You get the option to zoom in on the paintings and some of them allow you to see how the painting is compared size wise when next to a human body, very cool feature.
I have really become a fan of Carles’ work, if you haven’t seen all of it yet head on over: Carlesgomila.com
His online store isn’t opened yet, but you can find some of his prints over at Fine Grime
Dirty Pilot just released a new print by the artist known as Ewok 5MH. “Working 9-9″ 15″ x 22.5”, giclee with hand-embellishments, is signed and numbered in an edition of 40 for $125. This is pretty much how I feel once in a while at work, otherwise my job is really laidback.

Apricot Mantle now has an interview as well as a sketch video up over at the always inspiring Sketch Theatre website. It’s a great interview and really breaks down not only the working process of the artist, but why he chooses to use colored pencils. It doesn’t seem to be a commonly used material when looking at art these days, but Apricot shows that in the right hands it can look really exciting.
Make sure you check out the video as well, the final image practically glows, like all of his works seem to do.

Just this past month Sylvia Ji had a solo show in London, and of course I wasn’t able to go to that one no matter how much I would have wanted to. Emma Mount attended the reception, and I was able to get some pictures and a little write-up from her. Thanks Emma!
‘Nectar’ is LA artist Sylvia Ji’s first show in the UK running 03.09.09 – 27.09.09
Stolen Space Gallery is sited in the Brick Lane area of London, a vibrant East End hub of fashion and art, the area has an eclectic mix of many curry houses (thanks to its Bangladeshi community) alongside vintage bric-a-brac and retro clothing stores.
I have long been a fan of Sylvia Ji, and not sure I would ever get to see her paintings first hand I was full of anticipation. After a couple of wrong turns in which we discovered some outstanding graffiti, we finally happened upon this tucked away gallery. The gallery is a very basic small open white space, but as such all the better for being able to take in all these works in one glorious view on entering, and we felt we’d found the Holy Grail.
