  • Art of the Day: “Openlicious” by Benjamin Sea

    It was almost a year ago this month that I last featured Benjamin’s art for the ‘art of the day” section. He has been posting some amazing art since then, and participating in all sorts of great art shows. He added this new painting to his Etsy shop a while back and I wanted to share it. The painting is acrylic on wood and is roughly 16″ x 18″. I really love the layout and the colors that he has used in this one. His shop is filled with all sorts of collectibles and painting, make sure you take a look.

  • “Pretty Gross”, new art book by Stuntkid

    Jason Levesque aka Stuntkid has let loose a new art book. “Pretty Gross” is 8.5″ x 11″ perfect bound, full color and 82 pages of “finished work, sketches and photographs of work you’ve seen and some you haven’t.”
    The book is available via Lulu, while I’m not familiar with the quality of the books I have heard nothing bad either. The one cool feature is the site allows you to preview the book. If the preview is any indicator of the book, the images will fill the whole page.

  • “Tree of Mystery” print by Mark Ryden
