  • “How they Fly Away So Easily”, print by Tara McPherson

    flysoeasy_taramcpherson.jpg
    Tara McPherson has a new giclee available of her oil painting, “How They Fly Away So Easily”. The painting was first shown at her solo show “Lost Constellations” at the Jonathan Levine Gallery this past February. The original sold at the show, but now we can pick up one of the prints of this killer painting.

    The print is 18″ x 24″ giclee on Somerset Velvet Paper, coated with UV varnish and limited to 100. And of course, it’s signed and numbered. This is a really great print, I love the colors and the layout. She uses some really eye catching colors in her work, but are often too “bright” for me, this one however is just right.

    Head on over to her site if you want to pick one up: How They Fly Away So Easily Print for Sale

  • Monster mini paintings by Dienzo for sale

    george_dienzo.jpgL.A. based artist Dienzo has been working on a new series of paintings called “Monster Mini’s”. Each one of these little paintings are 6″ x 6″, acrylic on canvas.

    So far he has done: “Wolfgang”, “Julian”, “Dolores”, “Mumford” & “George” (shown), and you can see that these six are based on the classic horror monsters that have inspired so many people. I think these little paintings are amazing, they have a great feel to them and Dienzo’s style of painting is really catchy. They’re also pretty affordable so don’t hesitate.

  • “Revenge for the Drowned” John Kolbek original for sale

    Bunnysmall_johnkolbek.jpg
    John Kolbek has an original painting currently for sale. The piece is 8″x10″ and is entitled “Revenge for the Drowned”. The is the first time I have seen John put his work up for sale like this, and it looks as though someone might get it for a great price.

    Fans of Michael Hussar will no doubt see an influence, his work occupies the same dark areas. I’m a big fan of John’s ink work, so much detial and dedication goes into each one of those works. It looks like John’s father painted as well, but didn’t do it for very long. Here’s to hoping John keeps going forward.

    Edit: He also just added another original painting that was made for his “Childhood Series”, its an earlier work of his and is 21″ x28″. Check it out Here

    There is a self portrait by Maila Nurmi, also know as Vampira, for sale right now. The piece is pencil and sharpie on onion paper. It’s signed both Vampira & Maila Nurmi, dated ’99. The seller states that all profits from the sale will go to the Maila Nurmi Memorial Fund. There is also some signed photographs by the same seller.

    This is a great image. I have seen some other Vampira inspired pieces by Glenn Barr and Bob Dob, but it’s always a cool thing to get a piece of art made by the person featured in it.
