John Cebollero has an original piece for sale. It’s 8.5×11 acrylic paint on bristol board. It will also come with a certificate of authenticity.
The name of this painting is “scrapped BROOKE”, and it looks like it came from the 6th series of GPK.
It looks great, I love the colors and of course if you collected the cards like I did, it’s also quite nostalgic.
Here it is if you want it. Scrapped BROOKE
This piece is by Tomek Karelus from Warsaw. Its a digital piece, and from what the artist said it’s well over 100 layers! That’s pretty impressive.
I think what is most impressive and what really caught me about this piece is how much is looks like acrylic paint. Some nice dry brush style, like Amanda Visell does. Of course the colors and characters are top notch as well.
Head on over to the artists profile and take a look at all his amazing art.
On July 5th, at Munky King in Los Angeles will be the Whaleboy release party. Whaleboy is a new collectible created by Patrick Morgan.
There is even a goth version that will be available, limited to 100 pieces. Also during the show art inspired by Whaleboy will be there too look at.
Whaleboy is a seriously cool character. The goth version looks pretty cool, although I do wish they would make the gimp version shown on the right there. Also you can take a look at art from Bobby Chiu inspired by Whaleboy, right here.

Todays piece if from Richard Pellegrino, he’s an illustrator and has an amazing portfolio.
It was hard to narrow down which piece of his I wanted to show, so I picked this for a few reasons. I really like the colors used in this piece, and I really like that the face is not visible at all. I also love the movie so it helped my decision even more.
Head on over to the artists homepage and see all of his work.

Chris Mars will launch his new website this Saturday July 1st. Chris Mars is one of favorite artists, and I’m very happy this is happening. I love looking at his work and I’m hoping this new site will also mean some prints will be available…
If you have never seen his work in person, you really should make it a point. His work is wonderful on the net and in books, but when you see it 5 inches away from you, you realize how amazing it really is.
Opening tomorrow at the Gallery 1988 in San Francisco, is the group show entitled “Back for Seconds”

The Glenn Barr solo show at Outre Gallery in Australia is now online. Wish I could have seen it, but thats a lil too far for me. Hopefully someday I will be able to see his work in person.
His work is really amazing, the way he uses color and the way he draws figures really blows me away. I like how he is able to draw normal looking people (like above) and also more cartoon like figures that have so much character to them. I picked the above piece for the color, that blue looks great and really adds to the face of the woman.
Head on over to the site and check out the show:
