On October 9th, the Distinction Art Gallery in Escondido, CA opened the latest solo show of Scott Rohlfs. Entitled “Under the Influence”, the show features more than twenty new paintings by the Portland based artist. Scott primarily uses acrylic on canvas, and is able to get a highly rendered skin ton out of the paints. The faces themselves look a bit like some of the rendered faces of Sas Christian, but i’m sure any type of highly rendered face that isn’t picture perfect would do this. In a few of the works the proportions look a bit odd, necks being too small, or legs looking as if they don’t quite connect well. I would love to see the paintings in person and see if this is the same. I really love what Scott does with the backgrounds in each of these paintings. Head on over and take a look at the full show.

New work by James Jean
James Jean just added some new work to his blog. This latest series is called “Stills”, and just from looking it at the paintings, you get the idea that they are most likely stills from some classic movies. Honestly it doesn’t matter what James Jean paints, it could be people eating at a fast food restaurant and it would still look amazing. The color palettes each painting has, and the energetic, slightly sloppy way he has applied the paint, really helps make these works something to stare at for hours. Could the colors mean something? I’m sure if you look at the faces in each work, thinking about the colors meaning cold, passion, and jealousy, it would make sense but no way to tell if Jean meant for it to be that way.

“The Traveler” poster by David Stoupakis
David Stoupakis has just released a limited edition poster. “The Traveler” is based on a painting that David had in the Art on the Edge Show at the Vered Gallery last July. The poster is 18″ x 24″ on thick cardstock, signed and numbered in an edition of 500. There is an Ebay auction with a good amount of them for sale, and it looks as though you can get the posters for only $20 +5 shipping.

“With Teeth” print by Justin Kamerer
Justin Kamerer, Angyrblue, has just dropped a new print to the Gigposters classifieds. “With Teeth” is a 2 color screen print (silver and ‘plum black’ ), 18″ x 24″, signed and numbered in an edition of 80 for only $20. The quality of prints that Justin puts out is always top notch, so a print this good looking with that price tag is a steal just in time for Halloween.

Iain Macarthur “Wildlife” @ Phone Booth Gallery
The Phone Booth gallery not only redesigned their website, which looks great by the way, but also opened a new solo show from artist Iain Macarthur (featured). This new show is entitled “Wildlife” and features 12 new ink and graphite works on paper. The style is a lot tighter than the previous works Iain has released, but still holds the same design quality he is known for. Each head is filled with a variety of patterns, and beautiful line-work. There is also a new print available in the shop from this new show, “Peacock” (shown last) which is a 24″ x 18″ 1 color screen-print for only $20.

New canvas prints by Dan May
Dan May has added some new prints to his online, this time they are stretched canvas prints. There are seven new prints, and each one is a limited edition print on canvas, signed and numbered and limited to 50. The sizes range from 10″ x 10″ to 18″ x 18″. Each print also comes with a certificate of authenticity. The great thing about these new prints, is that once you receive them all you have to do is find a place to hang them. Take a look at the few previews I have shown here and then head over to the store to see all seven.

“Live Fast, Die Young” print by Kevin Llewellyn
Coming out of his latest solo show, “The Unsaid” (featured), Kevin Llewellyn has just released a limited edition print. “Live Fast, Die Young” is a generous 31″ x 24″, signed and numbered in an edition of only 13. Since it is rare that Llewellyn releases any prints, I don’t imagine this one will last long at all. It also doesn’t hurt that the image in the print is killer looking.
