  • Keep A Breast Auction

    The Keep A Breast Auction is going on right now, well it has been for a bit but I am a little late this time, sorry. Anyway,Plaster Breast Casts were made and decorated by some of the best artists out there and are now being auctioned off to help fight Breast Cancer. The great thing is “100% of proceeds will help fund the Keep A Breast, youth education and awareness programs.” So this way you get some unique and amazing art, as well as help people out.

    There have already been some work by Iggy Pop, Amy Sol, Ahren Hertel and other sold. At this moment there are some casts painted by Annie Owens, Attaboy, KRK Ryden, Mike Giant, Lola, Johnny Rodriguez (shown) and many others. Check out their main site for the full rundown, and which artists have participated: KAP Homepage, and check out the auction Here

  • “Flying Fish”, new print from Amy Sol

    Amy Sol has released a new print that is now available directly from her website. I wrote about the print this past week for SFWeekly, but the print is too good to not write about again.

    The print image is 18″ x 15″, signed, numbered and embossed on the always beautiful Hahnemühle archival paper in an edition of 50. I really love the muted colors that she uses, and that this print features a figure in profile. If you look at the rest of her prints, you will see that full profile faces are present in just a few of them.

    This print won’t last long, so head on over and check it out. Amy Sol Store
