  • “Skull Transformation Set” by Ken TwoFour

    Ken TwoFour has just added some new prints to his Etsy shop. He always seems to create unique prints that are anything but the standard idea of what a print is. The Skull Transformation Set has 4 “prints”, each 3 1/2 X 5 inches, 2 color screen print on 1/4 inch wood. Blue,green,yellow and purple. Hand cut and hand printed by Ken TwoFour at Wearwolf Press in Atlanta. Comes ready to hang on your wall and also has a magnet attached.

    This is a really great idea. I think its nice to be able to spruce up your living area or office, and be able to have a choice in how you want to do it.

  • “Crash & Burn” by Ben Tour @ Joshua Liner Gallery

    Ben Tour’s latest solo show “Crash & Burn” opened at the Joshua Liner Gallery this past July 11th. I have always been a big fan of his work, and have to admit that his use of the materials has played a role in the development of my own little artworks. In an article over at Toonhound, the author states that ink in Ralph Steadman’s hands was a life giving fluid. While I agree with this, I also feel that Ben has the same ability with the variety of materials he uses. Whether it is spray paint, ink, markers or crayons, Ben seems to be using them less a means to simple place an image onto paper or wall. The materials are more like components, each one fills a specific role and all work together to permanently embed the emotion you see in these figures.

    The work for the show is online, and available to pick up. Ben Tour @ Joshua Liner
