  • Jeff Soto Lucky 13 Calendar


    Jeff Soto has a Calendar coming out with Murphy Design. It will be a 13 month calendar and will also come with a sticker set, and a 32 page mini zine.

    It looks like it will be available on July, but Murphy Design is taking pre-orders right now. There will only be 1,500 sets printed, so waiting is not such a good idea.

    You can see the set as well as order over here at Murphy Design:

  • aotd: “Three Bullets”

    three_bullets_by_czarnystefan
    Sorry for the lull this weekend, I had to catch up with work. Anyway, this artwork of the day is by an artist named Grzegorz Krysinski. It’s a conceptual piece, and looks amazing. When digital art is done well, it can look as exciting as traditional art. I love how the artist here leaves the large digital brush strokes visible, it makes it great candy for the eye.

    Here’s his profile: Grzegorz Krysinski

  • aotd: “Kangaroo Court”

    kangaroo_court_by_hotburrito2.jpg
    Todays image comes from an artists known as Hotburrito2. A very cool photo of a white Kangaroo. The artist says that “white kangaroos are not very common.
    what is common about them, what they share with their darker brothers, is an ulmost unwavering dedication to daytime laziness.”

    What I love about this image so much, is the look on the Kangaroos face, of course I’m using a ood doe of Personification on this Kangaroo, but I can’t help but see a smug look on this animals face.

    Very cool.

  • “The Ride” original painting by Craola Simkins


    I saw Greg Craola Simkins work in person at Ffifty24 in San Francisco a few months ago. It was an amazing show. It blew me away how skilled Craola is with acrylics and drawing.

    The internet or photos will not give a good idea of how dynamic this artist really is. I’ve seen a good amount of prints of his for sale, but not many original pieces, they sell fast.

    There currently is one of works on auction right now, it’s called “The Ride” and is acrylic on a hand built wooden box. It was one of the pieces from the Chubby Bunny show at the Nucleus Gallery.
    It looks amazing, have a look. Also take a look at the show he had at Fifty24 in San Francisco.

    It looks like it will be in 3 phases, with this first phase showing work from such artists as: Sarah Joncas (above), Aaron Jasinski, Amy Sol, Andrew Hem, Audrey Kawasaki and so on.

  • Tim Biskup show @ Billy Shire Fine Arts


    Tim Biskup is having a solo show opening this Saturday at Billy Shire Fine Arts in Culver City, CA.
    So if your lucky enough to be in the area, head on over to see the show. Or you could head over to the Billy Shire Fine Arts webpage and take a look at the work that will be shown.

    Looks like it’s going to be a great show. I’m really getting into Tim Biskup’s work lately, I love how he uses color and how he arranges his the content of his work. I know he uses cell vinyl acrylic, I’m not sure how different that is than regular acrylic paint.

    My favorites of this show would be: “Impaler”, “Dominator”, “Burning”, “Stem” and I really love “Left Hand” (above). The colors used the face are excellent. Has a great glow to it.
