Jason Edmiston, previously interviewed, has created the latest cover for Famous Monsters Magazine issue number 254. This issue marks over 50 years of this monster magazine being published, and what better icon to have on the cover than Vincent Price? Below is the painting without all the text on it, not sure whether or not Jason will be releasing this image as a print or not. Either way, you can pre-order the magazine now.

Dan Harding is the newest artist to contribute a video over to the always inspirational Sketch Theatre. There has been a lot of amazing artists added to the site in the last year, but I am especially excited about this one, as I have always wanted to know how Dan creates those killer looking monsters. Head over to the site to check out Dan’s first contribution, and hopefully not the last.
Lucas Simões is an artist and architect working out of São Paulo, Brasil. He does a variety of art, but the most intriguing is the collage work that he does. Essentially cutting and assembling portraits, he is able to create some truly unique works of art. I would love to see one of these collages being created. Head on over to his Flickr page to check out the rest of his work.

Every week a new art show opens in the Los Angeles area, I am reminded why I wish I could visit there quicker than I can now. The latest show that opened at Thinkspace Gallery this past Saturday, December 11th, is a perfect example of the amazing shows those now living in Southern California are missing. Entitled “The New Realism”, this group show features new work from some of the best new artists that focus on realism such as Aaron Nagle, Jeff Ramirez, Jennifer Nehrbas, Linnea Strid, Nathan Deyoung, and Pakayla Rae Biehn. Each of these artists not only has a unique style all their own, but gives us a peek at a new possible direction for contemporary art to shift to. It’s a stunning show, one that needs to be seen in person, however the show is now online to be viewed.

Also make sure to check out the zines area for new show catalogues and zines all under $11.
Omn Thursday, December 10th, a group show curated by Dan Barry entitled “Subtleties of Character” opened at the WWA Gallery. This group show features artwork by Glenn Barr, Ana Bagayan, Matt Dangler, Richard J Frost, Jeremiah Ketner, Luis Lorenzana, Mia Makila, Buddy Nestor, Kevin Peterson, Saratoga Sake, Nouar, Jittagarn Kaewtinkoy, and many more. There is some really great work in this show, I was happy to see some drawings by Buddy Nestor. His drawing style is just as captivating as his paintings, I hope he releases some more drawings soon as these ones sold out very fast. I also really liked Glenn Barr’s “Idyll Worship”, and it just so happens that Glenn has a print of the study over at his shop (here).
