Cancer hits hard, but it hits the hardest when it’s little kids.
To help with the tremendous responsibility of cancer research, Thumbtack Press is hoping to raise $3,500 to give to St. Jude Children’s Hospital this year. That’s $2,500 more than they raised in 2006!
“Bob Dob has graciously donated all of his commissions for “Lonely Day” for the cause, likewise, Thumbtack Press will donate all proceeds of this print run to St. Jude… Every single penny.”

Ben Tour has two new prints available, directly from his site. The prints are both on Somerset Velvet Acid Free Paper, both are 18″ x 24″ and signed by the artist. This is a very limited edition of 20, so don’t wait on these. The one shown here is “Blue Wash 1”.
I could really go on forever about how amazing his artwork is. The layering, the colors he chooses, the huge variety of splashes, splatters and drip marks. It’s all perfect.
Head on over to his store and take a look, or pick one of these prints up. Thetourshow.com
Chris Murray has been selling some of his older work on etsy, and he just added a new one that I had to post. As you can see it’s Kevin Spacey from the movie Se7en. What a great movie that was, and this had to be one of the more intense scenes.
This painting is oil on masonite, 9.5″ x 12″ signed by the artist and even comes with the Se7ev dvd. Head on over to check it out, and make sure you keep your eye on his etsy page as he seems to be added more and more great original works to it.

Brandi Read posted a new painting that she just finished and I had to share it. Brandi is one of those artists that every time she posts new work I am amazed at the skill level involved. The way that she paints hair, skin and most noticeably the picture perfect backgrounds. The first time I saw them I thought she was painting over a printed image of these backgrounds, but no, shes painting these intricate patterns and surfaces from scratch.
This new painting is a self portrait, and is oil on canvas 12″ x 16″. Brandi also has an upcoming show at the Gallery at East Atlanta Tattoo. The show called “4 on the Floor” and features work by Emma Mount, Dave Macdowell, Jessica Elaine Blinkhorn & of course Brandi Read. The show starts this coming July 19th.

Chris Murray currently has some original works for sale on Etsy. The three original works were done during his senior year in college. Each one of the originals comes with some extras, such as the Batman Begins piece (shown) comes with the preliminary sketch and a copy of the movie. Edit: this piece is now sold, but there some others available.
I was able to see his work in person this last week in San Francisco at the “Everyone In Together” show at Gallery 1988. I have to say that I am a big fan of his work now, the detail and textures in his paintings especially the “Radio head” piece was great (which is still available by the way). You can also score some prints of his work over at the Etsy page. Chris Murray on Etsy
Scott French has a new painting up for sale. It’s oil on canvas and is 8″ x 10″. I’ve been a fan of his work for a while now. His style is always brushy and loose, whether he is painting women, cupcakes or robots his work is always exciting to look at.

I’m a big fan of the work of Mr. Christopher, so I was quite excited to see a new painting. The full tilte is “Where is the hate?…A Tribute To Evan Dorkin”. If you have ever read the comic Milk and Cheese, then you know where this is coming from.
This painting is 15″ x 20″, acrylic and spraypaint on wood. I’m sure the Milk and Cheese characters are cut out pieces of wood, one of the many killer touches that Mr. Christopher adds to each one of his paintings. The mouths in this painting look so amazing, he really knows how to rock that acrylic paint.
If you haven’t already, head on over to his homepage and check out the rest of his work. I’m sure you’ll see him in some upcoming shows as well.

A Paper Tiger has just released a new print from this self-taught L.A. based artist. I have seen his work in person a few times in San Francisco, and each time the show sold out. The print is “Chasing Butterflies” and is based off a painting he had in the “Behind Bedroom Doors” show alongside Sylvia Ji at the Thinkspace Gallery last year.
The print is 12″ x 18″ on Somerset Velvet paper and is limited to only 25 prints. There is also 5 “artists edition” prints, where each print is hand embellished with ink, paint & glitter. Each one of these prints is 18″ x 24″. So if you have missed out on buying one of his original works, head on over and grab one of his prints before they sell out.
