  • “Girls with Stars in Their Hair” Print set by Gene Guynn

    Almost a year ago in June, Gene Guynn created a series of graphite and watercolor works entitled “Girls with Stars In Their Hair” (featured). There were 10 paintings in this series, but he slimmed it down to 4 for this set, which must have been a hard choice. The prints are 5″ x 7″ with a 4″ x 6″ image area on Somerset Velvet, 100% cotton rag paper. Signed and numbered in an edition of 200, and a signed certificate of authenticity. The best art is, this set is under $20.

  • Oil studies by James Zar

    Chet Zar has just added some new oil studies to his online shop, however these new 8″ x 10″ oil on wood paintings were created by his father James Zar instead. A very talented painter as well, James has a unique style and uses color palettes that really give these portraits a dynamic feel to them.

  • Steven Daily launches new website

    Steven Daily lost his original website a while back, the domain name now leads to some spam website. He now has a new domain name, and a shiny new website to go along with it. I can’t say that I even remember what Steven’s old website looked like, but this new one is very easy to navigate, and if you look in the shop section you will even see that he has some new limited edition prints coming soon. The best part is all of the updated artwork that many have not been able to see in one place for the past two years. Below is the painting that Steven will have on view at Craola’s “INLE” group show.

  • Studio Visit: Paul Romano


    What seems like many many moons ago (this past December), I visited the studio of Paul Romano. I was intrigued by a new project he has been venturing into, but was also excited to meet this highly prolific artist and peek into his working process. His residence, often a place for touring metal bands to stay for the night, is well-known amongst friends. Decorated with a plethora of curio, artwork and an extensive collection of art books, I was in for a treat.
