Back in September I posted about the Sugarwater print by Joshua Petker @ Poster Child Prints. The artist edition of this print is now available. This print is 18″ x 24″ on Arches 88 100% Cotton Paper, signed and numbered in an edition of only 10. The great thing about this edition is that each print is embellished by Joshua using paint and glitter, so each print is unique.

Poster Child Prints has just released a new limited edition print by Joshua Petker. If I remember right the last available print release from Joshua was from his last solo show at the Corey Helford Gallery almost a year ago, so I was happy to see that he once again has a print ready for all of his fans.
The print is a generous 18″ x 24″ on Arches 88 – 100% Cotton Paper, signed and numbered in an edition of 80. Each print is also embossed with the PCP logo, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. This print is exclusive to Poster Child Prints and can be had for $90.

In honor of the Grammy’s, Feb 2nd through the 8th, Shooting Gallery along with Kris Lewis and help from Will.I.Am bring a group show entitled “World on Fire”. The show features portraits of big name music stars painted by 20-25 of some of the best artists in the “Lowbrow” scene. The works and prints that re sold at the show will help to benefit the Pea Pod Foundation. A few sites have talked about this show, and Arrested Motion just posted a preview of some of the works that will be on view, and from what I have seen so far this show is going to not only help out a great foundation but bring the fans some killer artwork.
The show will feature portraits from: Lori Earley (Madonna), Paul Chatem (Rick Rubin), Kris Lewis (Beck), Travis Louie (Trent Reznor, NIN), Shawn Barber (Angus Young, AC/DC), Natalia Fabia (Pink), and it is also said we will see Jeremy Lipking painting Snoop Dogg, Ron English (Metallica), Van Arno (BB King), Shepard Fairey (Paul McCartney) and many more.

A Paper Tiger has just released a new print from this self-taught L.A. based artist. I have seen his work in person a few times in San Francisco, and each time the show sold out. The print is “Chasing Butterflies” and is based off a painting he had in the “Behind Bedroom Doors” show alongside Sylvia Ji at the Thinkspace Gallery last year.
The print is 12″ x 18″ on Somerset Velvet paper and is limited to only 25 prints. There is also 5 “artists edition” prints, where each print is hand embellished with ink, paint & glitter. Each one of these prints is 18″ x 24″. So if you have missed out on buying one of his original works, head on over and grab one of his prints before they sell out.
