Phantom City Creative recently teamed up with Twitch Film and TIFF Bell Lightbox to bring this new poster for a movie everyone is sure to know. This new design group has been putting out some killer posters, such as this trio of print based on Robert Wise movies (here) and now this new one for The Goonies. I could definitely see this poster being used for a collectors edition dvd.
827ink will be dropping a new print by Sylvia Ji today, Wednesday February 2nd. The print is entitled “Red Caribou” and is the largest print that 827ink has done so far, coming in at 20″ x 20″ on a 24″ x 24″ sheet of paper. The print is signed and numbered in an edition of 150 for $145 each.
1xRun has a new limited edition print up for the week. “Happiness is 100yen” is from Australian art duo Dabs Myla.

The print is 11″ x 13.5″, signed and numbered in an edition of 40, or whatever sells before the time is up.

Opening this Saturday at the Hyaena Gallery is a solo show from Mike Dubisch entitled “Cosmic Horror, Human Vision”. This new series of works will focus on horro, mythos, and monster based art. So all of the H.P. Lovecraft fans out there should make sure to check out the art on the galleries homepage. There is some great work in this show, and they run the full gamut of sizes and prices. My favorite painting has to be “Elvis’thulhu” (shown second). There has been a lot of “mash-up” style art lately, but this has to be one of the best idea-blending pieces I have seen.

The latest contribution by Google has been officially launched and I am happy to say that it is related to art. The “Art Project“, as it’s called, is basically Google’s “Street View” technology but brought indoors; and most importantly to art lovers, inside some of the worlds most famous art museums. Now fans from all over the world can visit the Uffizi in Florence, The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The National Gallery in London, and more. Viewers can take a virtual tour of the museum, much like many galleries have been trying to do for a while now, and take a look at how the works are displayed. The best part is that you get these amazing high resolution images of the artworks. You can zoom in pretty close, so for all those people such as myself that like to really take in every detail, you can now do that with many of the greatest masterpieces. Of course this will not replace seeing the work in person, but it’s not as if everyone can fly to Florence or New York on a whim.
There have been some others sites that do offer high resolution images of artworks, ArtStor is one them. During my Art History eduction this website was used daily, and while it is cumbersome to use the images were often the best you could find. The one problem was that you always dealt with an inconsistency in the way the photos of the artworks were taken. So some would be true to the original works, and others would be poor in color and saturation. If Google can address this, and make the site a little less buggy, then I imagine Art Project will become a part of our daily lives, such as Google Maps or Gmail.
James Jean has just added a new open edition print to his online shop. “The Black Parade” was first created for an MCR album cover, which explains the format of the print. This uniquely sized print is 10″ x 40.6″ on 17″ x 41″ Hahnemühle Fine Art Paper, signed and embossed. Thanks to Omgposters.com for the heads up. Click the image for a larger version, a must for all that detail.
Chet Zar has added a new print to his online shop. “Pipe Dream” comes from a painting Chet first showed at the Thinkspace 5 Year Anniversary Show (http://www.creepmachine.com/events/thinkspace-gallery-5-year-anniversary-show.html) this past year. The print is 17″ x 22″ on velvet fine art paper, signed and numbered in an edition of 100 for $135. I’m really glad this made it into a limited edition.
JR Goldberg created an illustration based on Yolandi Visser from Die Antwoord that I had to share. It’s not often that the artist creates works based on real people, but as she stated on her blog Yolandi is already a living cartoon character. From what I have been reading, this image has also made its way onto the Die Antwoord official Facebook page (here), Congrats JR Goldberg!
