  • “Cherry Pie”, new print by Michael Hussar

    BirdBath Publishing has just released a new print by Michael Hussar that is ready for pre-order. The print is entitled “Cherry Pie”, it’s 12″ x 15″ signed and numbered in an edition of 88. It also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. If it’s anything like the presentation for the “Hans Memling” print, this one will also come shipping in a nice little folder. The release date for the print is in late November. So if your a big fan of Michael’s work, this would be a good chance to score a print that is surely to sell out very quickly.

    I love the color used in this piece as well as the beautiful collar like you can see on his “Morphine” painting. It looks like a beautiful companion piece to those who might be lucky enough to own a “Daddy’s Girl” print. They are facing opposite directions, are similar in color but both works have their own level of sexuality.

    Don’t miss out, head on over and brag one of these prints now.

  • aotd: “Living Dead Girl” by Cate Rangel

    Cate recently was in a group show at the Grind Gallery, and will be in a bunch of shows in the coming months. She usually sells her work through Ebay, or Etsy and I am often on both of those sites looking for prints to feature so I always stumble onto her prints and originals. Her work is always colorful, and I love the fact that she is using acrylic to get the glowing effects that you see on each of these images.

    She recently posted a new painting, and I was instantly drawn in. I am a pretty big zombie fan and always love it when artists make a zombie painting and don’t make it look too cheezy. Much like the “Zombie Girl From Mars” that Dean Mcdowell had in the Attack of the B Movie Show, this painting is elegant. I love the overall color that she used, the subtle glow around the figure and the eyes. I love it when zombie eyes are done this way, as if all color has been drained from them yet the basic structure is still there.
    Perfect!

  • CRUSTACEAPODS, (MICROBIA III), new from R.S. Connett

    R.S. Connett has some new work for you to check out. This new piece is the third is a series, the others being blue and red microbia. This painting is 24″ x 24″ and is acrylic on canvas. I really love how Connett is able to get all these details with acrylic, and able to create works that are filled with a variety of characters but not look cluttered in any way.

    For more of his work head on over to his homepage, as well as his eBay page for current works and prints that he has for sale. RSConnett.com

  • Thanks from Lori Earley

    I just wanted to add that Lori wanted to thank everyone that entered the print contest. She said there was a lot of really great poems, and it was hard to pick just one. The one she settled with was the one she felt really captured the essence of the painting.

    Hopefully we can get a pick of the print in the new owners house, in the meantime head on over to Lori’s site so you can see the rest of her amazing work. Her store is filled with no less than 10 prints as well, so if you want some of her work on your walls thats a great place to start.
