  • Prints: “Silence” by Ana Bagayan

    Ana Bagayan has just released a print based on the amazing Silence of the Lambs inspired painting she exhibited in the Crazy 4 Cult 3D show this past month. “Silence” is 15 x 20″ on 17 x 22″ Hahnemuhle fine art paper, signed and numbered in an edition of 50 for $75.
    This was easily one of the top paintings in the show, it’s a beautiful image and I’m really glad she made it into a print.

    Ana also has another print up for grabs, this one can be purchased from the Lunch Bunch site, a project “of two friends that get together once a week to create home-made meal packages to pass out to the homeless of Los Angeles”. The print is 6.5 by 9″ with 1″ border on Hahnemuhle paper, signed and numbered in an edition of 100 for only $25. The great part is that 100% of the proceeds go to the Lunch Bunch project.

  • “All Work And No Play Makes Jack A Dull Boy” print @ Last Exit to Nowhere

    While goofing off at work, I was able to find an amazing t-shirt company based in the UK “Last Exit to Nowhere”. Along with having an insane amount of shirts based on some of the best cult movies imaginable, they also have a limited edition print to be had. “All Work And No Play Makes Jack A Dull Boy” is a screenprint based on that exceedingly chilling scene in Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 masterpiece “The Shining”. It never occurred to me how great of a print this would make until I saw it on this site. This screenprint is 16.5″ x 23.4″ on natural white paper with water based ink, signed and numbered in an edition of 50 for around $64. This print is does not come framed, the image just shows what it will look like all framed up.

  • “Unscheduled Maintenance” print by Eric Joyner

    Artistaday.com has added a new print to their online shop. This new print from Eric Joyner is entitled “Unscheduled Maintenance”, is on Epson UltraSmooth paper, 27″ x 15″, signed and numbered in an edition of 100 for $225.
    Eric is quite an outstanding painter, and this large giclee print will surely retain all of the energetic brush work that is present in each one his paintings.

    Jeremiah Ketner has added a bunch of original paintings to his online shop. This rarely happens, so if you have wanted to grab an original and would like to skip the whole gallery interaction, head on over and pick one up directly from the artist.

  • Dave MacDowell @ Monsters of Pop Show

    This past week the “Monsters of Pop” group show opened at the Gallery 1988 in LA. The show features work by Netherland, Kiersten Essenpreis, Brandon Bird and Dave MacDowell. While I liked much of the work in the show, Dave MacDowell’s pieces stood out above the rest not only because of the obvious technical skill he possesses, but the amazing ideas that he keeps churning out as well.

    He has five works in the show, four of which are homages to popular paintings. Just a little bit after he unleashed “Appetite for Veruca”, a re imagining of Robert Williams controversial “Appetite for Destruction” painting, he gives us a remix of Edward Hopper’s “Nighthawks” and three from Mark Ryden: “Girl Eaten by Tree”, “Allegory of the Four Elements” & “Little Boy Blue”.

    I would like to see more artists doing homages like these. There have been a few scandals recently, due to certain artists “copying” another’s work, I see no point. If you are short on ideas or want to try something new, make an homage to a past work of art. But I do feel it is important to make sure that like Dave has, you do the work justice.

  • Artists: Matt Dye

    I often get submitted artists websites to check out, this is one that showed up today and I had to share. Matt Dye is an artist out of Eugene, OR. He has done a huge amount of concert posters, as well as fine art screen-prints, monographs and more. I haven’t seen any of the prints in person but they look very vibrant and sharp. Looking through the countless prints in his store, and those that have long sold out as well, there are quite a few that I am taken with.

    I really like the Sharon Tate, David Bowie Mugshot and of course the Stormtrooper print (sold-out). It’s refreshing to see someone make a print of Sharon Tate, as there are far too many of the maniac linked to her. The colors in the Tate print really make the image pop, the blue make this print look electric. I’m also happy to see someone do somthing with that amazing David Bowie mugshot, I have always loved that picture.

    Head on over to Matt Dye’s homepage, and see what he has on the shop. These prints and more, as well as variations on each one can be found there.
