Video from 12x12 group exhibition

Here is a short video shot during the opening of the 12x12 group show that happened last month at Galerie Abyss.

The Tattoo themed exhibition continues until October 2nd. You can see all the works from the show here.

The Boastful Ghost - framed!

THIS SATURDAY EVENING at Galerie Abyss, a new group exhibition opens up called 'Tattoos'. It is a tribute to - you guessed it - tattoos and tattoo culture just in time for Montreal's Tattoo Festival happening next weekend (September 11th - 13th).

Click here for Galerie Abyss Tattoo art show facebook event info.

 

I will have a framed 'The Boastful Ghost' print available in the show. I figure, if you're going to buy a print, you're going to frame it at some point anyway - why not just buy it already framed? (The framed image also comes with a FREE Thoughts & Progress: The Boastful Ghost booklet!)
Dimensions of frame are 17.5"x17.5". Contact the gallery if you are interested.

If you would like to purchase an edition of the image, but will forgo framing for now: You can purchase one of the very few remaining prints here.

LAST YEAR'S FEARS - video of the opening

Praise for Thoughts & Progress booklet!

I was unbelievably complimented today when I read Andy Nulman's (President of Just for laughs) newest blog post exclaiming his delights on the Thoughts & Progress booklet I created for the painting 'The Boastful Ghost'. Andy instigated the idea for the booklet and he writes about how much value is added in discovering the work that went into something.

He is a one-of-a-kind collectable art object now available on my online store! Many of his tattoos are based on the tattoos of friends and people who sent me photos to participate. Thank you for your submissions.

Tattooed Pooh

As promised - my contribution to 2013's annual Pre-Shrunk show at Argyle Fine Art!

Tattoos are awesome! I've got 2 and am planning to get more. However - some people end up getting tattoos that they regret later. That was the inspiration for this new painting. What were you THINKING, Pooh?!? Silly ol' bear...

As I write this the piece is still available! Contact the Gallery for purchase. You can check out the entire show here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/62710153@N03/sets/72157632220409811/?page=3

The Boastful Ghost

AT LAST!

So after much deliberation, Casper the friendly ghost is finally ready to take the plunge and get a tattoo! And by none other than his now grown up gal pal, Wendy the Witch! The idea for this painting was thought up over a year ago and was partially instigated by friend and fellow fine artist, Gordon MacDonald.
