  • Glenn Barr giclee, “Stacey”


    Right now there is a killer Glenn Barr giclee print, it’s from Glenn’s latest show “Hearts Aflame”.
    The piece is pretty big at 24×18 inches, it’s signed and numbered and is #4/50.

    I love Glenn Barr’s style, he has to be one of favorite artists and definitely got me hooked on all the art that is going on right now. I actually have to stop myself from buying more of his prints, I need room for other artists as well.

    Anyway, this is a great piece and would look amazing all framed up.

    This piece is by Sonny Liew, and artist out of Singapore who has worked for Marvel and has recently had a show at La Luz De Jesus gallery. He is also working on a mini-series for DC comics.

    He has a really cool painting style, I like how many of his works are pretty dark in color. I dig this piece for the kid’s expression, and robots. I love work by Ashley Wood and some of the Robot work Phil Hale has done. It’s also very cool when the artists is unique, and Sonny’s work is unique.

    Hopefully he’ll be doing more and more shows. I would like to see his work in person one day.

  • Team Draw! every last sunday in S.F.


    If you live in the Bay Area and like meeting new people and having some fun, every last Sunday in San Francisco you can go to Team Draw.

    Show up at Dolores Park around 2pm (people sleep in) and bring a sketchbook and some drawing utensils. You’ll meet new people, swap sketchbooks and share your skills and gain some cool artwork at the same time.

    It sounds like a blast, they have nothing like this in my town. Although some of the people at my work will get together and scare off all the meth-heads from hanging around the parking garage.
    Woo-Hoo! I’d rather go to Team Draw!

    Head on over to the Gross Uncles’ (Grant Gilliland) site and see the original entry.

  • The Brush Project auction has started!


    The Brush Project is an auction of actual paintbrushes that artists have used. The auctions will go to help art education.

    The auctions are going on right now. There are so many great artists involved in this, this is a good chance to help a good cause and score a great collectible from your favorite artist. Mark Ryden, Shag, Lesley Reppeteaux, Chris Mars, Anthony Ausgang, Dan May, Lori Earley and many others. The above brush example is from Glenn Barr.

    I’m pretty sure this is going to work out exactly like the Paint by Numbers auction went, very fast. So you might want to get in on this now as it has just started.

  • Ol’Scratch print


    The original painting was done by Walter o’Neal, based on a sculpture by the Shiflett Brothers.
    The painting looked amazing, and a print of it is now available.

    The print is 24×14, signed and numbered and limited to only 50 copies. People have been waiting for this one for a while, so I imagine it will go quite fast.

    Head on over to the Shiflett Bros site to get it, the resin kit of Ol’Scratch is there too:

  • CandyKiller at BlueFlip


    BlueFlip art now has prints from Brain Taylor (CandyKiller). I can’t say it any better than is written in the opening post of BlueFlip. “Brian creates bright, arresting images that resemble something Max Fleischer might have created had he been a fan of psychedelic mushrooms.”

    There are 12 new prints all together, and when you buy one of them (or all of them) 10% of the sales go to Red Cross. I love the work of Brian Taylor, and I think it’s great that BlueFlip now has prints of his. BlueFlip is getting more and more amazing art.

    aotd: “At Least I Have Each Other” by Sawakaya

    Agnieszka Futa, otherwise known as Sawayaka, is an artist out of Poland. Not only does he have an amazing style, but some inspiring influences.

    You can see Japanese woodblock art & manga in her work, but at the same time there is that “underground” kind of look that a fair amount of comic illustrators have. The look has this nice lo-fi quality to it, almost as if its been done on paper as opposed to digitally.

    Head on over and take a look at the rest of her work.
