John Ryan Solis captured my eye with his interesting compositions and subject matter. His studies in contrast (see below) and focus on the organic flowing shapes of human hair are very intriguing. Some of his work features a bit of illustrated nudity so it may be nsfw. View more below and much more at his website. (more…)

After the opening, prints will be made available online and we’ll keep you posted with release information.

Let’s face it, the hot dog is really the Cadillac of summer meats, so show your hot dog pride by purchasing one or both of these awesome hot dog prints by Delicious Design League.

Sure, DDL has other prints available in their webstore that are equally handsome, but they don’t feature anthropomorphic tube meat, do they? Get some at Delicious Design League.

Tara McPherson has two new giclee prints coming out Monday, August 30th at 3 PM EST. Each piece is an edition of only 100 and  features a UV protective varnish. If you haven’t seen one of Tara’s prints in person I can attest that they are quite well made and the varnish gives a very rich quality to the print’s surface. Each print is $250. You can purchase one or both along with several other similar prints at the artist’s webstore.

Gallery 1988 has just released two versions of these three images painted by Rich Pellegrino for their “Crazy 4 Cult” show. The three paintings feature Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka, John Goodman as Walter from The Big Lebowski, and Bruce Campbell as Ash from the Evil Dead trilogy. The brushwork in these is really great, and my favorite piece is Wonka, although he’s my least favorite character of the three.

All three images are available as extremely affordable giclee prints in sizes 13″x19″ for $75ea, or 8.5″x11″ for $25ea. Each size and image has a different edition amount but all are 50 pieces or less. You can browse the full list of prints and more at Gallery 1988.
