Max Greis & John Breiner
you can’t miss this pretty awesome show at Mighty Tanaka. Max Greis does collage landscape masterpieces depicting apocalyptic yet paradisal imagery, great blending brushwork, and just awesome to look at. And alongside is drawer and watercolorist (pencil color,pen, Gouache?) John Breiner. I’m attaching my favorites works of his, even though I love them all. So much awesome detail inside these intricate worlds. You must stop by and see ‘Entropology: Man’s Devolution.’

Paper Heaven
“Slash: Paper Under The Knife” is a paper art show at the Museum of Arts and Design running from October 7, 2009 – April 4, 2010… The work looks amazing.
Tessa Farmer
Wow… just ran into this artist while surfing around morbidanatomy.blogspot.com… I get grossed out by the details of the dead animals yet fascinated and enthralled by the detail of her ‘warrior’ bugs… I can’t stop looking at them. http://www.tessafarmer.com/

Weston Emmart
This is my friends’ grandfather. He’s a very talented man and I just love this video of him showing his work. Mr. Emmart shows such admiration for his art, so technical and so witty. He seems to have a strong and caring soul, just like his grandson. Watch him chat about his watercolors and horse sculptures below:
From his son, Carter, on YouTube: “My father, artist, sculptor, story teller, WWII veteran, animal lover and inspiration. Born 1923, grew up drawing and making things. Fought in Patton’s Army, wounded in Germany. Raised family of 4 with 62 year ongoing support of wife Ginger. Worked career in TV commercial art. Ogilvy & Mather story board lead. Love of history, wood working, and sailing. Retired to Cape Cod to carve horses and master watercolor. Emmart family patron”

It’s in the blood…
I don’t mean to brag (but I totally will, ha!), but my niece is an award winning artist!!! and she’s not even 13 yet. Andrea has won her 6th competition in school, the last one getting her piece as part of an exhibit at the Lowe Art Museum in Miami, AND as the poster for the show, which is all over town. Wow!! Congrats Andrea!

pandamania
I was given a quick project with the theme ‘panda’. I had a few ideas… I bought a little guy for reference… took him out in the town… got some photos:
…he was a great model… but I decided to do a portrait of him instead.
…. fin.

Those are some good looking protest shields!
