    “Where Time Beckons the Wicked” by Dan May

    Dan May has just released a new commission painting he was working on, that I had to share here. Dan’s work has always been mystical, colorful, and always growing forward with each new painting becoming more intense. This new painting steps this up a notch in a big way. Coming in at 60″ x 30″, “Where Time Beckons the Wicked” is a window into Dan’s world that gives a clearer view than ever before. The colors have that amazing muted feel his most recent works have, and not only does this painting contain a human figure, but some animals, and some of the unique creatures Dan is so well known for. It’s a stunning image to view on a monitor, I can only imagine how impressive it is in person. I know this painting took ages to create, but I do hope we see some more large scale works such as this from Dan in the future. Click the image for a larger version.

    The group show Crazy 4 Cult is now back again for the fourth installment. The full title “Crazy 4 Cult 4: The Case of the Redundant Number”, will feature work inspired by cult movies from a wide range of amazing artists. Just a few of those participating are: Allison Sommers, Anne-Julie Aubrey, Apricot Mantle, Casey Weldon, Chet Zar, Chris Murray, Dan May, Dave MacDowell, Ewelina Ferruso, Gene Guynn, Joe Scarano, Ken Garduno, Ken Keirns, N.C. Winter, Rich Pellegrino, Scott Campbell, Stella Im Hultberg, Tom Haubrick, and many more. Some are veterans of the group show, and many are new. The past three shows seemed to have been dominated by just a handful of movies, Donnie Darko, The Big Lebowski, Edward Scissorhands, and Willy Wonka. There are so many amazing cult movies, I do hope some of them are given the same treatment some of the repeat titles have. Here is a short preview of some of the works that have been posted around the web, or graciously shared with the Creep Machine. Hit the jump-link to see the full preview.
