Scott Campbell’s work is so good! I saw a few smaller sketches posted on another site and had to see more. Based out of San Fran he lists his occupation as “art director and concepts at double fine also comics and painting” I might add “also and awesome!”

The 3 pieces are titled (in order from top to bottom) “Picnic With The Draculas” , “Wolfmans On School Grounds”
and “Ultramans All Day and All Night”

Beautiful new work by Vancouver Island artist and illustrator Luke Ramsey of Islands Fold. I first saw Luke’s work a few years back at antisocial and I’ve been impressed ever since. Here’s one of new pieces for Pieces for ” What’s The Big Idea?” group show with Apak, Mike Perry, Martin Ontiveros, Jeremy Tinder and John Malta at Double Punch Gallery, San Francisco (June 12th- July 31st).

Just saw the new issue of Hi-Fructose and it looks pretty sharp. Allot of great artists featured in this months issue that I love and have posted on here before like James Jean (cover) and Kate MacDowell .
They sell out fast but I want to pick it up when I’m in Seattle (what’s with the different prices for CAN & US…)

The website has a great blog and video section which is worth a look too.

I recently saw a post on ‘but does it float‘ of Klimt’s work and remembered how much I love his paintings. There’s something in the way renders his subjects that makes your eye flow over every curve and line.

It’s been a while since I’ve checked out Jeremy’s site and it’s looking good. I have one of his shirts from years ago, it got a little trashed during a 3am incident at a denny’s after some flying pancakes hit an unidentified heavy set white male, but that’s a whole other story.

Jeremy’s new work is divided into 3 groups, Ghosts of the Barbary Coast 12/01/2008 , Pants vs. Trousers 09/01/2008, Seasons Of Change 06/01/2008. The Images I’ve posted are from his ‘Ghosts of the Barbary Coast’,

excerpt: ‘San Francisco in the Barbary Coast days of the 1850s was a crazy place. The once sleepy town’s population exploded almost overnight as it was flooded with all kinds, here to make their fortunes in whatever way they could. Prospectors, prostitutes, sailors, businessmen, criminals, hatchet men, preachers, and entertainers all had their stories to tell and their reasons for being there.’

Jeremy currently lives and works in San Francisco, check out the rest of his work at sillypinkbunnies.com

It’s been a while since I’ve seen anything from Tim Biskup but he’s been busy. Having just completed two shows in 2008, The Artist In You in New York and then O/S (Operating Systems) in Paris. Both were very different from his early work but in my opinion great shows (these images are from ‘The Artist In You’). If happened to catch last months issue of Juxtapoz (featured with Josh Keyes) he went into detail about his idea’s on the artworld, his own explorations as an artist and the development of his work over time. I’ve been a big fan of Tim’s for a while now, if you haven’t seen his work check it out at tim-biskup.blogspot.com (his website timbiskup.com is still being updated).
