Over the weekend the Jonathan Levine Gallery opened two solo shows, the one that really caught my attention was the new “Art Army Royalty” by Mike Leavitt. Each one of these figures is based on a member of the art world that could easily be considered royalty, even though I gnash my teeth when thinking of a few of these artists placed in the same perch as the others. Each figure is made with polymer clay and is sat upon a custom made display that also has a metal name tag. I love how each artist is designed in a way that brings their own art into the presentation; this is most prominent with Ai WeiWei, Barbara Kruger, Gerhard Richter, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, and Damien Hirst. Head on over and took a look at the entire show, each one of these figures is outstanding.

Pressure Printing’s Secret Stash
Pressure Printing has recently opened a new web store, or kind of a web store. What it is is original works of art and sold out editions that are from the personal collection of Pressure Printing. These works are available nowhere else. Work by Gary Baseman, Dave Cooper, Dave McKean, Clayton Brothers, Robert Hardgrave, Ryan Heshka, Amy Crehore, Robert Crumb and even Takashi Murakami are available. New things will come and go so make sure to keep your eye on the site. If anything this Tumblr shop is a great way to check out some art that you might have never seen, or haven’t seen for quite a while such as “Springtime” by Dave Cooper below.

I would like to welcome the newest sponsor to the site, Icon Art Gallery. If you head over to the galleries homepage you can find all sorts of fine art editions from such artists as Shepard Fairey, Takashi Murakami, Dave Kinsey, Ian Francis (shown), Tara McPherson, Joe Ledbetter and more. With the addition of the newest sponsors to the site, the next year will bring some great additions to the site, as well as making it possible to have a few contests.
