The solo show of Ahren Hertel at the Gallery 1988 in LA is now online for you to oogle at. The pieces look amazing, it really helps that G1988 has a killer photographer. In some of the photos you can really see the canvas texture, and they are all well lit. I love the imagery that is in each of these pieces, the reoccurring characters, the worms, eggs(?) and of course the big eye, little eye thing he has going on.

There is such a good variety of work, he has oil on canvas, graphite on paper and even some hand sculpted works. They also have a print available based on the drawing “On Guard”. The print is a 10×17″ lithograph, and each one has also had some oil paint added, so you know each print is different. The prints are limited to 25. If you want one, head over to the site and give them a call.

While renovating his studio Greg Houston found a whole mess of old illustrations, some dating back 20 years. These are all original works. Some were published, some weren’t.

The works are going for very cheap prices, so this is a good chance to get some killer artwork for a small price. I guess he has even more than what is shown, so once one sells, another may fill its place. There are so many there that are too good to pass up, some caricatures like Robert Mitchum, Elvis, Betty Davis and the one I have shown called “Piercing”.

Greg has a killer style of drawing, and every piece has some cool details and expressions to it. Head on over and check em out.

There is an Ashley Wood original painting for sale, its from his Uno Fanta book. Its oil on paper, is is 18″ by 24″. There is some tape left on the paper, but it kind of ads to the piece, and if you really hated it you could matte over it.

He also has some prints on his site, I wrote about one in the last SFWeekly article. They are poster prints but are huge and signed, and on good paper. I have one on the way, so ill write more. I couldn’t pass it up, they’re only $10 before shipping.

Jason Goad has some very smooth looking 5 color silkscreen prints for sale. They are 12″ square, and I believe you get both, the female and male anatomical robot print. This is a limited edition of 50.

I love the colors on these prints, and its a very cool idea. Just from the picture you can see how smooth and perfect each line is. These prints would like great framed up together.

You can get them directly from the artist here: Jason Goad @ Gigposters

If you have ever checked out SketchTheatre.com, you may have a seen a video of Michael Hussar, drawing a very cool portrait entitled “Slurry”.

there is also a “White Devil” print for sale.

It’s very rare when you see someone selling a Chris Mars original, and I can’t remember a time I saw a Sas Christian piece for sale like this.

I had the pleasure of seeing Chris Mars’ work in person, and I was awestruck. There are so many details and textures that pictures cannot show. His work is so amazing, I would love to see this piece up close. I hear that he is going to release some prints soon.

The next one is a piece from Sas Christian. It’s 12″ x 16″ and by the looks of the sides, needs to be framed. Its monochromatic, and to me looks like a study. Sas can really paint some crazy eyes, so with this piece you get just one big eye, perfect for fans of what she does.

These are both for sale from the same person: Sas Christian oil painting
