original art & prints for sale/pre-sale
Arabella Proffer just added a new original oil painting to her Etsy shop. “Vampirella” was first shown at the “Identity Theft: reinventing the comic hero” exhibition that took place last year. The painting is 8″ x 10″, oil on canvas and is already in an ornate gold frame. Arabella’s style of painting worked out perfect for the character. It’s a great painting for this Halloween, and is classy enough to keep up all year.

Jonathan Bergeron aka Johnny Crap has a killer ink drawing for sale over at the Gigposters classifieds. The original drawing is 11″ x 14″, ink on bristol vellum. I know Johnny has some shows coming up soon, so this is a great chance to skip having to go to the galleries to get an original.

Chris Mars has added a new online store to his website. Inside you will find copies of his book “Intolerance”, as well as three new limited edition posters. Each poster is 22″ x 28″ on heavy 80# recycled stock using vegetable-based inks and varnish, each poster is hand signed and numbered in editions of 1000 for $25. I would like to see some giclee prints of his work, but these exhibition posters are very welcomed as is the price.
Update: Ok I ordered one of these for myself, and the poster looks fantastic. Well worth the $25. And just like its said in the comments, I went and grabbed a $20 frame from Target. Dropped the print in, secured the back and it’s up on the wall in under 10 minutes.

On Saturday I made my way into San Francisco for the 2009 Alternative Press Expo. Last year was a blast and I made sure I went this year, with a better idea of what to expect and what to look for. This year was more zombies, more squids/octopi and more derivative art but on a happier note the weekend reminded me of a few artists that I liked the first time I went. One of these artists is J.R. Williams, animator, illustrator, comic artist you name it. J.R. has done work for Weirdo and Heavy Metal Magazine and more.
J.R. had a good amount of prints and originals for sale at the Expo. If your like me and grew up on pulp comics, classic monsters and pined over ads for scary Halloween masks then you will dig J.R. Williams. I was able to pick up a Vampira print, would have liked the original but it was gone already. Most of his originals are ink and acrylics on paper and most are around $40.
Here is some that fit with the Halloween mood, the three shown are still available.
