  • “Robbie the Rabbit” original by Jason McKittrick

    Jason is an artist out of New Jersey. He has recently been doing a series of paintings based on the ghosts “Marlboro State Psychiatric Hospital”. He also did a couple of works that featured characters from the Silent Hill video game, the one featured here being one of them.

    The painting is entitled “Robbie the Rabbit”, I never played the game so the character is new to me. It’s Acrylic, watercolor and colored pencil on 11″ x 17″ paper. The painting is framed as well with a black wooden frame. Jason has this piece for sale up on his eBay page right now. If your into the game, or just sketchy looking rabbits, head on over.

    EDIT: well it looks like the piece was sold already. Hopefully the Creep helped with that. Jason listed the other “Silent Hill” piece as well, so if you want to try to snag that one head on over.

  • “Hare”, James Jean Show Poster

    James Jean has a solo show coming up at the Jonathan Levine Gallery this coming January. The show is going to be amazing and I can’t wait to see what he has in store for us all. The Levine Gallery always has the images from the show up super fast, and the site is a joy to browse around in.

    It looks like James has put up a downloadable version of the show poster up on his site. You can print it out pretty big, I got mine to around 10″ x 12″ and it looks fantastic, I have some Rives BFK to print this onto as well. Grab some nice paper and go to town, he said you can “Feel free to download, distribute, print out, and share with friends, family, and uninitiates.” Thank to Hi-Fructose to this news.

    Head on over to grab the print: Process Recess

  • New limited editon print by Adam Flores

    San Francisco based artist Adam Flores has a new limited edition giclee print available through Curbs and Stoops. The idea of the site “is working towards increasing the accessibility of art across a diverse range of socioeconomic and cultural communities.” Along with Adam’s print you can also find prints by Adrienne Benitez, Contessa Trujillo, Jeffrey Pena, Pete Doolittle and Steph Chard. You might remember Steph as the featured artist back in April.

    The print by Adam is 16″ x 22″, signed and numbered in an edition of 50. The work is entitled “”Get the Fuck off my Grass.” What a killer name. I really dig Adam’s work, the new worlds that he is able to create, the colors and for having a style that is very unique. Head on over and check it out.

  • Original works by Chloe Cumming

    Chloe is an artist out of Bridport, UK. She has recently put some works up for sale on Etsy, and I had to share them here. She has a very dynamic style, one that is mixed very well with caricature. Her works kind of look like Kent Williams intermingled with a dash of Sebastian Kruger or John Kricfalusi.

    She has works in both oil as well as graphite. These are a blast to look at, and I would love to see the painting being done in real time. Here are three select pieces that you will find in her shop, head on over for the rest. Chloe Cumming Etsy Store

  • aotd: “Fiddle Fatale” by Paul Chatem

    Paul is no doubt one of my favorite artists, so I always look forward to any new work that he has. He recently added some new images to his site, as well as updated his show list. This coming December 6th he will participate in the 3rd installment of the “”Don’t Wake Daddy” Group show at Gallery Feinkunst Kruger in Germany.

    The piece featured here is entitled “Fiddle Fatale” and is 18″ x 24″. I really love the great amount of texture he is able to get and yet the paint and surface of the work is very flat. The one thing that always amazes me, is how perfect the lines he frames the work in are. I also dig the dual sets of eyes in this one, and the fact that not only is she framed with the striping but also the birds.
