  • Chet Zar Catalog 2008 for Strychnin show

    Chet_Zar_Catalog.jpgComing up this June 13th at the Strychnin Gallery in London is Chet Zar’s solo show “Ugly American”. Now it’s going to be very hard to see this show in person, so like always most of us will have to see the work online. Luckily a catalog of the works is being released, so you can see the works in print and have a collectible of Chet’s work. The Strychnin homepage has the works online to view (here) and they look amazing. It looks like he is incorporating some new colors into his work, and mixed with his great textures these new works are extremely dynamic.

    The catalog is 64 color pages with a forward by Adam Jones, guitar mastermind from the band Tool. You can also get the hardcover edition that is signed by the artist and limited to 49 copies. Not everyone can see their favorite artists work in person, or own it for that matter, so prints, books and catalogs like this are a great way to surround yourself with inspiring imagery.

  • New prints from Chris Murray

    New York artists Chris Murray has some new prints available from his online shop. He has prints of both of the works that he had in the 2007 Crazy 4 Cult show, the 2008 “Toys” show and the upcoming “Everyone in together” at the SF Gallery 1988 this June.

    I really dig his style and can’t wait to see his work in person, the print shown here will be at the SF show, so now is a good chance to grab the print first. The print can be either on glossy or non-glossy paper and I believe is 11″ x 14″. I think all the prints in his store are open edition prints.

    Check out the store area of his site for the prints, and if you look around the blog you might be able to see the progress images of the print shown. Chris Murray prints

  • Featured Artists for the month of June

    Sorry I’m a little bit late, but I finally have the two featured artists for the month of June up. French artist Gaetan Henrioux and an artist out of Alaska Matthew Bailey.

    Both of them are amazing artists and I’m very excited to have their work on the site. So head on over and take a look. Remember the previous featured artists are still up in the archives, so if you haven’t seen their work make sure you check it out as well.

  • “Varuca” giclee print by Arabella Proffer

    varuca_arabellaproffer.jpg
    Arabella Proffer has just released a new print. It’s a giclee on matte paper print, 11″ x 14″ and is very limited. At the time of writing this, there are only 8 prints left. She will only be selling them to those that contact her through e-mail. So no etsy, ebay or galleries to deal with. The print comes signed and numbered on the back, and with a “bio and family crest as a certificate of authentication”.

    If your looking for originals of her work we still have the two Switchblade Sue pieces in the Creep Store for sale.

    Head on over to her site and e-mail her to make sure you get one of these prints before they sell out. Arabella Proffer homepage

  • Brandi Milne “Design for Humanity” auction

    mermocto_brandimilne.jpg
    Billabong’s “Design for Humanity” is going on right now, this time it will benefit the Surfrider Foundation. Brandi Milne has three original paintings that are up on auction for this event.

    Each of the paintings are acrylic on wood panel, and look amazing. So not only do you get to score some killer original art, but you also get to help our beaches. All three of the paintings that are on auction have a water theme to them, the one shown is my favorite. I also like how the works have this feel as though they are painted on old drift wood. Must be the staining.

  • I’m back, the break is over

    Well, the moving is all done and I am now settled in. So I can get back to posting on this site. The break was nice, but I missed working on this site and reading about art.

    So I’ll be catching up with all the e-mail that was sent to me, and getting this site back on track. Thanks to those that still have the feed subscribed.

  • Will be back in a few days

    This is the weekend that I move, so I’ll be offline for a few days. Once I get all settled and get the new internet connection started, I’ll be right back to posting more regularly. It really should only be a few days tops.

    Thanks, and have a killer weekend.
