Scott C. has been one of my favorite artists ever since I was introduced to his work a few years ago. It’s cute, smart, and hilarious. He recently started a site for his Great Showdowns, which he updates frequently, and keeps me beyond entertained. Here are some of my favorites:
As you know by now, I have a very hard time editing things I like.. Every computer I have owned eventually gets so crammed full of clipped images, it starts acting like it’s elderly. Anyway, when I first saw Brecht Vandenbroucke‘s work, I was instantly in love. I have so many favorites, there’s absolutely no way for me to trim this down.
Even still, I highly recommend checking out his Flickr site.
We thought we’d start the celebration a little early with a little WWII and Korean War nose art. Nose art is an old tradition of artwork placed on the nose of military planes, most especially the bomber planes of WWII. Most of the images were pinups, ranging from really well done Vargas-girl copies to cheesy Betty Boop types.
Holy holy! I was so confused when I first saw this piece by the amazingly talented Jeremy Geddes, and it said “paintings by..”, b/c I could have sworn it was a photograph. Definitely check out his site for more beauties like these.

Opening tomorrow, May 20th, Gallery 1988 LA presents Another Dimension, a Twilight Zone Tribute show! 50+ artists were invited to base 1-3 pieces on their favorite episodes. Below is one of my pieces based on the Eye of the Beholder episode, our pal Andrew Degraff’s piece based on 5 Characters in Search of an Exit and finally, my favorite ABC’s poster ever, by the talented Dave Perillo.

I love the somewhat randomness of Matthew Cerletty’s paintings. I’m sure he has a method to his madness, but I really love the pieces put together in no particular order.. somehow they just work well that way.
Iconic fantasy painter & comic book artist Frank Frazetta passed away yesterday after suffering a stroke at the age of 82. Rest in peace, Frank, you will be missed.
Read a wonderful NY Times article about his life HERE.
August seems to be quickly approaching, which is kind of a good thing b/c planning a small out-of-state shindig has proved harder than we originally thought it would be. Wes & I decided on sending out simple 6in x 6in postcards that had a bit of folk art feel to them.
I sketched up an image that included both our home states and the tiny church we’ll be married in. I then painted the color separately and layered them together to give a slightly silk-screened effect. We then built our own site (more on that later) and will be letterpressing our own invites with our brand-new (but old) letterpress.
see the sketch for the card below:
I love these strange little paintings by Gideon Chase.. they kind of have an Evah Fan-vibe to them, but they’re still super fresh.
Yep, that’s a real live girly in there, painted to look like a painting. I had to look at this about 5 times before it made sense to me. Alexa Meade creates live paintings that look like the still ones.. whoa.

I painted this little puzzle ages ago, but I still enjoy seeing the love felt between a streaker and a lady who loves a streaker.
As a user of resin myself, I can really appreciate someone who really knows how to use it well.. it’s not an easy task! Dustin Yellin paints on thin layers of resin, then builds upwards. So pretty.
