artist interviews, website updates, redesign, projects and contests
It’s been far too long since I have shown new work by the amazing Heather Horton. Looking at her site she has been traveling the world and has recently updated her site with a few new paintings. She has a great style, that while the figures and cloth are rendered perfectly, the brush marks are still pretty thick. It gives for a very interesting effect.

Allison Torneros recently released a time lapse video showing how she creates a painting. This first video is entitled “Cause”, and is part 1 of the “Cause and Effect” series. So expect to so more.

Karl Kwasny, aka Monaux, is an illustrator working out of Australia. He has a very strong portfolio and is embarking on a pretty big project that will be finished around 2012. The plan is to complete 100 illustrations for an art book every week. Head on over after the preview and take a look at the rest of his work, he even has some prints available in the shop.
Kenichi Hoshine has listed a couple of original works up for auction, with 100% of the proceeds going to Red Cross in order to aid Japan during this growing disaster. Every hour it seems like the news just keeps getting worse and worse. I am happy to see artists like Kenichi donate art in order to help, and while posts on social networking sites with people sharing art and videos are great for keeping moral up, the best thing you can do is donate. I hope to see other artists do the same.

Steve Kim was one of the featured artists here on the site back when the Creep Machine was only a few months old (here). I am very happy to see that he is still going strong, and has some new work on his site. He also recently had work in a two man show at the ADC Contemporary Art Gallery in Los Angeles, CA on March 5th, and will be in the Incognito show at the Santa Monica Museum on April 30th. If you head over to his site to see the new work, make sure you check out his blog and social network profiles to keep up with news.
Edith Lebeau has opened up a new online shop and has some original drawings, and paintings available. The drawings she has available right now are 4″ x 6″ on watercolor paper, and are the sketches she creates to get new ideas for paintings. Head on over and check out the new shop.
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.
Once again Dan Harding has created a video for Sketch Theatre. These videos show how skilled dan is with graphite, and giving fans an insight as to how he creates those amazing characters of his. Head on over to the site and check out the video.
