  • In The Store: “Race Till Death” by Ken Garduno

    This piece by Ken Garduno was another one of the paintings in the “B Movie” show. It was also one of the few pieces that was inspired by an old b movie, “Death Race”. A very cool old movie that happens to be coming to theaters again as a remake (oh joy). The maniac behind Alien Vs. Predator, The Resident Evil Movies and the upcoming Castlevania movie is brining the Death Race remake to us.

    Not excited about the remake, but I was very excited when I first saw this painting. Ken has a great style and the layout he used in this piece really help give it that crazy motion. The painting is acrylic ink and wash on 8″ x 10″ paper. The edges of the paper are deckled, so in the frame the paper is floating instead of under a matte. It really is a classy looking piece, you can see the work all frame up here.

    This painting is till available in the store, so if your interested in picking it up head on over. Creep Store

  • New print, “Unrested” by Dave Kinsey

    BLK/MRKT gallery has released a new print by Dave Kinsey. The print is being released in tandem with his show at the Lazarides Gallery in the UK. The print is a 4 color serigraph on off-white paper. It’s 26″ x 26″ and is limited to 200.

    It’s based on the “Unrested” painting in the show. It’s a great print, the colors much like many of the pieces Dave makes, pop right out at you and the brush work is very energetic. Looking at the show I would really like to see a print made from this piece, Losing Faith, but who knows maybe that one will be coming.

    Head on over to the BLK?MRKT Store if you want to grab “Unrested”, BLK/MRKT Store

  • Original pastel works by Lisa Falzon

    Lisa Falzon is an illustrator that works out of Cork, Ireland. She mainly works in the digital realm but often makes some traditional works as well. The great thing about her work, is that her traditional work and digital work are very close in style. It’s sometimes hard to tell what is digital and what isn’t.

    She has some pastel works for sale right now, five of them from what it looks like. Each piece is pastels on cardboard. They are very affordable, especially for the size of some of them. One of the things I really like about her work is the colors that you can find mainly in the skin tones of her figures. Similar to Dean Mcdowell, Lisa uses a variety of colors to describe the skin of each of her figures. It looks amazing and really adds depth, and something unique to each work. Check out the link if you want to grab one of her original works, or head on over to her homepage to see the work she has made so far.

  • In The Store: “Invisible Zombie Scientist” by Mr. Christopher

    invisible_Zombie_Scientist____by_itsmisterchristopher.jpgAfter having Mr. Christopher as one of the featured artists, I was super excited to have him involved in the “B Movie Show”. This painting along with one of the works made by Alex Kuno, was the second largest and only other mixed media painting in the show.

    The image doesn’t show it, but the painting is custom framed. The frame is actually built around the painting and looks amazing. The figure in the middle is a cutout piece of wood, so it pops out once you get within a few feet of it. There is also some scientific formulas that were pasted into the background, one of many unique touches that made this painting a favorite from the show. He did such an amazing job painting the jacket, and I also love the face that you can see in the background.

    Edit: this painting is now sold, sad to see it go but I know the new owner is really stoked with the art.

  • Chet Zar Catalog 2008 for Strychnin show

    Chet_Zar_Catalog.jpgComing up this June 13th at the Strychnin Gallery in London is Chet Zar’s solo show “Ugly American”. Now it’s going to be very hard to see this show in person, so like always most of us will have to see the work online. Luckily a catalog of the works is being released, so you can see the works in print and have a collectible of Chet’s work. The Strychnin homepage has the works online to view (here) and they look amazing. It looks like he is incorporating some new colors into his work, and mixed with his great textures these new works are extremely dynamic.

    The catalog is 64 color pages with a forward by Adam Jones, guitar mastermind from the band Tool. You can also get the hardcover edition that is signed by the artist and limited to 49 copies. Not everyone can see their favorite artists work in person, or own it for that matter, so prints, books and catalogs like this are a great way to surround yourself with inspiring imagery.

  • New prints from Chris Murray

    radiohead_chrismurray.jpg
    New York artists Chris Murray has some new prints available from his online shop. He has prints of both of the works that he had in the 2007 Crazy 4 Cult show, the 2008 “Toys” show and the upcoming “Everyone in together” at the SF Gallery 1988 this June.

    I really dig his style and can’t wait to see his work in person, the print shown here will be at the SF show, so now is a good chance to grab the print first. The print can be either on glossy or non-glossy paper and I believe is 11″ x 14″. I think all the prints in his store are open edition prints.

    Check out the store area of his site for the prints, and if you look around the blog you might be able to see the progress images of the print shown. Chris Murray prints
