  • Grafuck 3 release party and art show

    grafuck_albertoseveso.jpg
    If you haven’t seen the Grafuck show at the Gallery Nucleus yet, it is online and there for you to view. There are some really great works there, and some really saucy ones as well.

    There is a huge amount of work there, all sorts of mediums. This show turned out really well. I especially like the work of Alberto Seveso (shown) he has a killer style, I really am curious as to how he does that. Audrey Kawasaki’s painting is pretty crazy, I mean her work has always been very sexual, but this piece is pretty in your face. Excellent.

    Todays piece is from an artist out of the Philippines, Sam Ramos, otherwise known as Samowel.
    He has a great style of painting and I’ve been wanting to share his work for quite some time, but he just now got a portfolio online.

    He’s definitely one of those artists that needs to be seen more, have some work shown in some galleries here in the US, all over the place really. I hope it does get to the point that we will start seeing his work pop up all over the place, but for time being head on over to his new portfolio and check out the rest of his work.

  • “Hans Memling” print ready to go, & SF Fetish Ball

    I talked about this print a bit ago, and now it is on the site and ready to go. I can imagine people seeing it on the site will really get them buying it up now. Scroll down the page a bit and you can see the details of this killer print.

    It also looks as though those of use living in the Bay Area, or want to make the trip, can head on over to the SF Fetish Ball and see some of Michael’s work in person. March 6th through the 9th you can see his work, as well as the photography of Philip Warner (Lithium Picnic) in person. Sounds like a great reason to go to the event.

    Here is the link to order the Hans Memling print, I wouldn’t wait in this one, or else you’ll be searching eBay like mad. BirdBath Publishing

  • aotd: “Fashionable Spaceman”

    fashionable_spaceman_www.jpg
    I spend far too much time looking for art, but I rather enjoy it. Most of the time I stumble upon artists that many are well aware of, such as Ric Stultz.

    The day after I found Ric’s very cool work, I was contacted by Blueflip Art that they now have some prints available from Ric. The work above is actually one of the prints there. I love Ric’s style, is very brushy and and just good fun art.

  • Lowbrow Art Sale, new SFWeekly section

    Well for those who read my weekly articles on SFWeekly.com, you know that is has so far been in the “All Shook Down” area. The articles are found Tuesday mornings right there on the front page, and then later on in the art blog area.

    I’ve been writing these articles close to 6 months now. I never really thought that I would ever find enough prints to fill each weeks article, but I have been able to do it. Some really exciting prints as well. The Crazy4Cult prints, Lori Earley, LetterPressed prints, Chet Zar, and most recently Michael Hussar’s Hans Memling print.

    I’ll keep going with these articles, and now it will have it’s own section, “The Lowbrow Art Sale…” Also, for the last article this year I will be doing a top 10 list, it will be hard narrowing my favorites down, but 10 of the best prints I have written about will be there.

    Make sure you check out tomorrows article. I’m looking into have the posts on the sidebar, better than they are now.

  • aotd: “DJ SBON Cover”

    djsbon72.jpg
    I have stated this many times before, but I really love the look of watercolor, well not all watercolor works. I do however like what Drew Falchetta does with watercolor and inks.

    He has a great sketchy style, and fans of Gris Grimly, and even Scott Campbell will like his work. You can see the Ralph Steadman influence when he gets all crazy with the inks in his work. I do like however that he seems to draw just a little on each of his influences, as opposed to directly biting their style.

    If you like what you see here, head on over to his homepage and check out the rest of his work.

  • Shows opening December 15th

    This Friday some great shows are opening.

    Lesley Reppeteaux has a solo show called “MOONSTRUCK with WANDERLUST”, at the same time Gris Grimly will have his solo show “A Prairie Nightmare” at the MModern Gallery

    “The Big Tiny” opens at the Red Ink Studios in San Francisco. A group show that focuses on “miniaturization to extreme amplification”. 25 artists will be a part of this very cool sounding show.

    At the White Walls Gallery in SF as well, “All Star Hustlaz” opens, featuring work by: AJ Fosik, Ben Horton, Katy Horan, Dalek, Damon Soule, Henry Lewis, Sylvia Ji and many others. This is one I’ll make sure to check out.

    Elizabeth McGrath has her solo show “The Incurable Disorder” at Billy Shire Fine Arts in Culver City, CA.

    And the one I wish I could see, “Three Kings” at the Light Gallery in Costa Mesa. The three artists shown will be David Lozeau, Ken Ruzic and Bigtoe. All three have great styles.
