Looks like all the shows are opening on Saturday this weekend.
“Skip the Mall” is a group show at the Black Maria Gallery featuring work by Brezo, Heather Watts, Saratoga Sake, Ken Garduno, Tom Haubrick and many others. The show is online right now, as well as work by Juri Ueda that is also opening the same day. Blackmariagallery.com
“Line Weight” is a group show at the Gallery Nucleus. It features drawings by James Jean, Luke Chueh, Mari Inukai, Richard Kirk, Ronald Kurniawan, Moki, Jaime Zollars, Vania Zouravliov, Christine Nguyen, and David Jien. What a killer lineup. GalleryNucleus.com
Jonathan Levine Gallery has two shows opening: “Voyeur” new works by Shag and “Novo Mundo” by Stephan Doitschnioff (aka Calma). Both shows are up for viewing. I really dig the work of Calma, it also looks like has a limited edition silkscreen available. JonathanLevineGallery.com
Joshua Liner Gallery also has two solo shows opening: “Imminent Utopia” by Kris Kuksi and “Departure” by Pat Rocha. Both shows are online, and they look amazing. The online gallery now has this “magnifying glass” addition, and for Kris Kuksi’s sculptures it helps a great deal to see all the details he puts in these works. JoshuaLinerGallery.com
Merry Karnowsky Gallery has two solo shows opening: “Inhuman Oddities” by Travis Louie and “Super Systems” by Kill Pixie. Looks like the site is getting redone so no work to see right now. MkGallery.com

Paul is no doubt one of my favorite artists, so I always look forward to any new work that he has. He recently added some new images to his site, as well as updated his show list. This coming December 6th he will participate in the 3rd installment of the “”Don’t Wake Daddy” Group show at Gallery Feinkunst Kruger in Germany.
The piece featured here is entitled “Fiddle Fatale” and is 18″ x 24″. I really love the great amount of texture he is able to get and yet the paint and surface of the work is very flat. The one thing that always amazes me, is how perfect the lines he frames the work in are. I also dig the dual sets of eyes in this one, and the fact that not only is she framed with the striping but also the birds.

Naoto Hattori has just updated his online print shop with a new limited edition giclee print. The print is 16″ x 20″ in a signed and numbered edition of 100.
I always love seeing new works from this artist, there is just so much to look at and his work always surprises me. I love the look on the dogs face in that close-up.

Ana Bagayan has updated her website, flickr and blog. I was looking around and saw this image and just had to share it. The piece is entitled “Waterbirth” and as she says on her flickr account “Waterbirth is supposedly a gentle and less painful way to give birth.”
This painting trips me right out, I think thats what I like about it so much. It’s nice every now and then to get your brains shaken a bit.

The Definition Gallery has a new exclusive print available by Dan May. The print comes in two sizes, 11″ x 14″ at $75 and 16″ x 20″ at $100. They are signed and numbered and also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, each size is an edition of 75.
I really love Dan May’s style, the colors he uses, the visible drybrushing in each work. I am also amazed at how perfect the hair looks like in this one, it’s hard to believe it was painted.
You will have to work your way over to Limited Editions Inventory to get to this print, easiest way is just to e-mail the gallery if you want.

A bit back I featured the work of Molly Brill. She makes these amazing paintings using watercolors, acrylics, watercolor pencils and charcoal. Each piece is filled with texture and color, always giving your eye something interesting to look at.
She recently moved and is now living in Ontario, Canada. She started a livejournal and Flickr account, to help people keep track of new works, shows and hopefully some prints. She also have about seven original works for sale, each one of them is $200 (plus s&h). Here is just a few from the list for sale, they are amazing. I would love to see them in an ornate frame. Head on over and take a look at all the pieces she is selling. Molly Brill Original Paintings

A year ago Audrey had a timed edition print sale to help combat the problem of not enough fans getting access to her prints. So everyone that purchased a print in one hour were guaranteed a print, and that amount determined the edition number as well.
It’s still a trial to get one of her prints. They sell out almost instantaneously, and then you see Ebay is filled with the prints for sale at bloated prices, something that is getting ridiculous as well. So it looks like it’s time to do another “timed edition” sale. This time she is asking people to vote for which print will go on sale, so while you will no doubt be able to get a print, the voting will determine which one it is. So head on over to her livejournal account and vote, you get a choice of six different prints.

You might remember the zombie themed piece by Cate Rangel that I featured a bit back. I talked to her shortly after to see if she was going to make prints, she said yes and they are available right now.
“Living Dead Girl” is the first painting she did with the zombie idea, and then “This Side of Hell” came next. Each print is limited to an edition of 100 signed and numbered with a COA, are on watercolor paper and are 13″ x 19″. These prints are made with the amazing Ultrachome inks, so I cam imagine these look amazing in person.
Head on over and check em out. Cate Rangel Store
