Artists to Admire: Mike Stilkey

February 4th, 2010

world famous bad ass and WTTD pal Mike Stilkey brings a literal approach to his art (god i’m so fucking clever), often using books, their pages and their covers as his canvases. his room-sized installations are something to behold; brick-like stacks of literature that reach from the floor to the ceiling while painted over with Stilkey’s trademark twisty-turny animal studies and gaunt-like, dark-haired figures (who you can just tell are waxing all philosophic about Dostoyevsky and shit). it’s been a couple years since Los Angeles saw a Stilkey opening, he’s been too busy jet setting, but lucky for us in the meantime he has made an amazing new limited edition print available via BLK/MRKT. (hey! Valentine’s Day is coming! maybe it’ll make a good present for that hot librarian you’ve been trying to mack on.) here’s the info direct from Stilkey himself:

“I’m excited to announce that my very first print is now available for sale through BLK/MRKT Editions! The print, “Sleeping Horse,” is a four-color screenprint on 100 percent cotton rag paper. It measures 24 by 18 inches. The print is an edition of 150 and each one is signed, numbered and stamped. They are available for purchase for $45 and will be delivered within 2 to 3 weeks.” – so get your piping hot prints here, straight out of the oven, and check out Stilkey’s own site for plenty more good. art.

TONIGHT: sunny Los Angeles hosts a grip of ‘art openings’ aka ‘free wine’

January 16th, 2010

wreck the tape deck michael mararian youth parade miso the cold returns corey helford gallery

here’s a rare weekend post to celebrate a record breaking traffic day yesterday as well as to point out a lot of great openings tonight in the metropolitan Los Angeles area. earlier in the week we mentioned the Brian Viveros/Dan Quintana/Bad Otis Link triple header in Santa Monica, and jesus satan also highly recommends Corey Helford Gallery’s opening for both Michael Mararian’s “Youth Parade” and Miso’s “The Cold Returns”. Mararian’s current project looks incredibly intense and wickedly funny, just the way i like my women art. there are also something like fourteen other shows tonight, so check out Sour Harvest for a fairly thorough rundown on what’s what, where and at what times. Sour Harvest also emails a great weekly newsletter on recommended art openings, so sign up for that shit here. then i don’t always have to be the one telling you what to do, where to go, how to dress, etc…. i mean, what am i, your mom?

Artists to Admire: Ogasa Shin (i think)

December 10th, 2009

this website for Ogasa Shin is chock full of amazing. if Francis Bacon had drawn anime, i think this is what it would have looked like. i can’t read, um, Asian, and all i have to go on about this guy/girl is that his/her name is Ogasa Shin. the website hasn’t been updated in a couple years, so maybe you budding internet Encyclopedia Browns out there can help a brother out and hunt him/her down to verify a) that he/she is still alive and 2) he/she is actually named Ogasa Shin. (more images after the jump, including some NSFW and one really fucking BIG mother…)

Artist to Admire: Martin Ansin.

September 24th, 2009

Came across Mr. Ansin after hearing about the new Stanley Kubrick exhibition: “Taming Light,” (check the info on facebook) taking place at the Light House Cinema in Smithfield, Dublin next month. He created the AMAZING poster (below) for the exhibit, which will showcase new painting, photography and illustration related to Kubrick and his films. Once I saw the rest of his work I became an instant fan (more imagery after the jump):
