  • Photos: “Anathema” at Last Rites Gallery

    Last Rites Gallery has just posted some pictures of the reception for their latest show “Anathema”. The two artists from the show, Shawn Barber and Vincent Castiglia were there as well as Paul Booth and Genevive Zacconi the duo behind the gallery.

    Looks like it was an amazing night, it’s also great to be able to see the painting next to people as it helps show the size of the works. Head on over and check out the pics from this amazing show, courtesy of Steve Prue.

  • Pressure Printing launches new website

    The very first version of the website for the amazing Pressure Printing was great. But as the list of artists and grown, it was time for a change. So version 2 of Pressureprinting.com is now live.

    The new site is just as classy and easy to move around, if not easier. There is now a huge timeline showing all of the prints from the various artists they have worked with. Everything about each print is right there on this timeline. I think this is a great way of showing the legacy of works, as well as making it more enjoyable. Head on over and see for yourself. The blog also shows the various design ideas that came to mind while making this new version.

  • Art of the Day: “Roost” by Craig Maher

    An illustrator based in New York, Craig Maher has done work such clients as Alderac Entertainment, Hidden City Games and many more. He works with traditional oils, and from his site says he uses very little mediums, so it’s all wet on wet paint here. The thing I found most interesting is that he went to the Joe Kubert School of Cartooning and Graphic Art. I have always been interested about the school so it’s nice to see an artist come from there.

    A lot of his work is of course made for the various clients that hire him, but the piece shown here looked to me like a more personal one. I really dig the whole feel and layout of it. I could easily see this painting shown alongside such artists as Kris Lewis, Chris Peters, Carrie Anne Baade and even James Jean. I also added the intitial drawing for the painting, I absolutely love how he draws and paints faces two different ways.

  • Craola interview in December issue of Blisss! Magazine

    Greg “Craola” Simkins has an interview in the December issue of Blisss! Magazine. I guess you can pick one of them up in any skate/surf shop for free. I don’t have any type of shop near me, so luckily there is some pretty big images of the interview. It would be nice to have the mag for collecting sake though.

    Click the “read more” for the rest of the interview with big images.

  • Daniel Martin Diaz and Morgan Slade @ BSFA

    Two more great shows opening up this Saturday night are taking place at Billy Shire Fine Arts. In gallery I is “Anatomy of Sorrow” featuring new works by Daniel Martin Diaz. Then in gallery II is a handful of works by Morgan Slade.

    Both shows look great, I really like the playful works of Morgan. Mixed media works can sometimes be too much to look at, but if done right as seen here, they can look amazing. Daniel Martin Diaz’s new work is also great. A good amount of the show has sold. Head on over and take a look at both shows.
