    He also added three Mousketeer prints, “Mouseketeer Mac”, “Maegen” and “Marek”. Each print is 6″ x 6″ on archival watercolor paper, signed and numbered in an edition of 100+10 artists proofs.

  • “The Gauntlet” limited print by Greg “Craola” Simkins

    At the opening of Craola’s show at Ffity24SF I talked to Craola a bit about collaborations he would like to be in, artists he would like to show with and so on. Alex Pardee was one of the he mentioned, “it just makes sense” he said and I agree. Well we might not have a collaborative show from the two of these amazing artists for some time, but Zerofriends/Alex Pardee is bringing the fans a limited edition print by Craola. The print is entitled “The Gauntlet”, it is 16″ x 20″ Printed with Archival Inks on Acid Free Velvet Cotton Rag, limited to only 100. And as it says on the site “Each print is hand signed, numbered and loved by Greg Simkins”. The prints from Zerofriends look amazing, and with Craola’s artwork on them this print is surely to sell out very fast, especially since it’s only $125

    Head on over and grab one before it’s to late.

  • New originals by Molly Brill

    I wrote a bit back about some original paintings available from Molly Brill, and it looks like she has just added some new ones. All of her works are mixed media and watercolor on watercolor block paper. I really love the energy, colors and layout of some of these new ones. I really love how the eyes are beautifully rendered and the surrounded area is paint chaos!

    Head on over and see the full list of affordable works she has for sale.

  • “Life’s Objective” print by Eric Fortune

    Eric Fortune is a graduate of the Columbus College of Art and Design, and has quickly become one of my favorite artists. His work will be seen this year in galleries such as Roq La Rue, Gallery 1988, Copro Nason, POVevolving , Ad Hoc and the Cerasoli-LeBasse Gallery. One look at his art easily shows why so many people are excited about his paintings.

    A Paper Tiger has just released Eric’s first print. Entitled “Life’s Objective”, this print is 12″ x 16″, signed and numbered in an edition of only 25. The prints from Paper Tiger look amazing in person, and with Eric’s beautiful style this print is sure to go fast.

  • New prints by James Jean

    James Jean’s solo show at the Jonathan Levin Gallery is now over. Except for a couple of limited edition prints, the show is all sold out.

    Over on Process Recess James has added a bunch of new prints based on the works in the show. “Vanity” and “Maze” have been there for a bit, but the four portraits are new. The “hare” print (shown) that was given away for free, is now in the shop but doesn’t have the show name and info on it. Each print is 17″ x 22″, Giclee on Ultrasmooth Fine Art Paper. All of the prints found in the shop are open-edition, so be careful when your looking for prints on Ebay. I have seen a few of these prints sell for four times the price because the buyer didn’t know any better.
