Another day, another mind-blowing complex silkscreen art print! This 20 color silkscreen print is by Diana Sudyka, a Chicago-area artist. This is the 11th installment in the Decoder Ring Design Concern artist print series, and a fine addition to the collection of impressive artworks created for the series thus far!
The print is an 18″x24″ image on a 22″x30″ sheet of Coventry Rag Archival Paper. All prints are signed, numbered from an edition of 100, and embossed with the DRDC logo. As usual for the prints in this series, the cost is $250 shipped. If you’d like to get one for yourself, you can pick this up at the Decoder Ring website. (more…)

Audrey Kawasaki has created this gorgeous painting for the Roq La Rue gallery‘s group show entitled “Tiger Tiger Burning Bright”, a themed show based on William Blake’s poem “The Tiger”.
Artists included in the show are Audrey Kawasaki, Robert Hardgrave, Travis Louie, Lisa Petrucci, Isabel Samaras, Robert Burden, Jason D’Aquino, Nouar, Jim Blanchard, Angelique Houtcamp, Bob Dob, Anthony Ausgang, Ann-Marie Manker, Yumiko Kayukawa, Jaw Cooper, and more… The show opens Friday, May 14th 2010 and runs through May 30th at Roq La Rue Gallery in Seattle, WA.
To coincide with the event, the gallery has released the painting as a limited edition print. All proceeds from this print benefit the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust as well as the Wildlife Conservation Society to be earmarked for Tiger Conservation. The print is a 18.5×16″ giclee print on a 18.5 x17″ sheet, edition of 100, $200 ea, one per household. Audrey’s prints are very high quality and are usually shipped with great care.
If you are interested in this print, you can buy it in person at the show opening. If there are any left over (I would bet there will be), the remaining stock will be sold on a first come first serve basis from a list kept by the gallery. To get on the list you just need to email Kirsten (kirsten@roqlarue.com) and ask nicely. Full image after the break. (more…)

UP THERE is a new documentary featuring the dying craft of hand-painted advertising in New York. This is a beautifully-shot doc that features a unique profession that most probably don’t think about too often. You can learn more at the film’s website.
Thanks again to Tanner Woodford for another quality contribution.

It’s like a concert tour but with sketchbooks.
We’re not even halfway through 2010, but you might want to start thinking about 2011 a bit. At least, if you are interested in participating in The Sketchbook Project, 2011.
Organized by Art House Co-op, a group that seeks to create large art projects that tie hundreds to thousands of artists together, the newest incarnation of their Sketchbook Project for 2011 is possibly the most ambitious attempt yet. Unlike other sketchbook sharing and interactive projects, this one gives each artist their own book to work with, rather than depending on artists to share and ship books among themselves.
Which, honestly? Is probably a good thing. Each person is responsible for their own destiny and whatnot. It’s pretty sensible. (more…)

Ben Tour is a painter / illustrator from Vancouver who creates interesting portraits with a watercolors, using a very messy and drippy aesthetic. His portfolio is a bit cumbersome to navigate through but it is worth checking out. It appears that Tour has two silkscreen prints available at Black Market Editions (Kinsey’s people).The News section of Tour’s website acts as a blog and has a lot of neat updates about his latest work.

You may not be a YO YO Master, but this is one yo yo that you don’t want to play with. Steve Brown Gallery has been releasing laser-etched wooden yoyos and their latest by Chris Ryniak is exceptionally cool. The cost is only $15 each with a limit of two per customer. Only 45 pieces were made so this is an extremely affordable limited item. One side features the artwork seen above, while the other side is engraved with the artist’s signature and the Steve Brown Gallery logo. You can visit the Steve Brown Gallery website on May 13th to pick one up.

We don’t write about too much music but this fantastic music video just came into the contribution box courtesy of Tanner Woodford. Francis and the Lights created this video in one take by strategically turning lights on and off to create live edits. The band has been touring with Drake and their latest album is really worth checking out if you dig the video above! You can also stream the band’s latest cd for free at their website.
