  • “Today I Felt My Mortality” gocco print by JR Goldberg

    JR Goldberg has added a new print to her online shop, this one is a gocco print. The print is 8.5″ x 10″, signed and numbered in an edition of 50. It’s a pretty amazing print, gocco prints are often very simple but this one is a four color print. Black for the background, that can only be seen from certain angles, and white, silver and gray oil-based inks for the rest.
    The image is based on a popular sketch she did, so this print is not only amazing in design but the image itself is killer.

    I also bought one of her “Squelch” minibooks. The book is super tiny, but the printing and quality of it is perfect. Well worth the $5 it costs.

  • Thinkspace interviews Dave MacDowell

    One of my favorite artists, and one that I have made it a point to feature on this site as much as I can, is Dave MacDowell. His art is not only masterful, but completely mad at the same time. The kind of work that reminds you how amazing and fun art can truly be. Dave has an upcoming solo show, “The Sins of Atticus Finch” at the ThinkSpace Gallery this coming March 13th, and the gallery has interviewed Dave to get us all amped for the show. It’s a great interview and features much of the art you will see if you are able to make it to the show.

    Check out the interview here: SourHarvest Blog
    And Dave’s site here: Macdowellstudio.com
