Night Owl

I’ve been screwing around with this idea for the past few months. I have drawn several versions of what I’m called the night owls. Just a new character to add to the list of critters I’ve come up with. I’m really liking it and I’m gonna be doing a series of these over the next couple weeks. This is the first owl I actually painted on canvas, all the others have been sketches or done up with art markers. I may be posting up a few smaller ones on eBay later next week. Peace out!

Night Owl -  11×14  -  Acrylic on Canvas  -  Signed & Dated  -   60.00 ( 120.00 once in a gallery). If your interested let me know. The 60.00 price tag will only be around till the end of August. After that its off to a gallery with a higher price tag. Gotta cover those commissions.

New work for eBay!

Whats up everyone! I have decided to put up some brand new art work on eBay today. My sales on eBay have been very good this past month. The problem is that I mostly have been selling all older works. Since I have had such success I decided to make a few paintings strictly for my fans on eBay. Bidding will start off at just 10.00 to keep things lively!! Check out the auction here and bid away!

I have had many requests to make some prints of the work I did for Malice in Wonderland and have been really dragging my feet at getting it done. Well, I finally got them printed, beautified and loaded up for orders. Im only featuring 5 out of the 8 paintings I did. If for some reason you wanted a print other than the 5 I did, just let me know and I can swing it. Checke them out. There only 25.00, super quality, and look great! No cheap ass prints here folks. These are archival quality. Check out the prints here!

New Art & The BP Oil Disaster

New work posted up! All my latest work is inspired by the horrible plight that sea life is having to endure because of the BP oil spill. These new pieces will be on display at Avondale Artworks(Jax,FL) for the month of July. Opening reception(drinks, snacks, good times) is Friday night, 7/2, from 6-9pm. I did these paintings to help raise fund for a bird and sea life rescue out in the FL panhandle. These folk have been working around the clock cleaning oil soaked birds and sea life since day one of the spill. I figured I would use my skill to help raise some much-needed funds! All proceeds will be donated to help buy supplies and cleaning products to help these poor animals out. Prints will be coming soon too!!! Thanks for the support and check out this months showing at Avondale Artworks! If interestd in a pre-show purchase just email me at bgrayart@bellsouth.net – All pieces are priced from 75.00-120.00- For details on each piece(dimesions, medium,etc) visit my “recent works” tab on the site here.Thanks

323 East, MILK Gallery, eBay,& Pinkghost

323 East- Michigan

Whoa, its been a bit since I posted up anything new at the ol’ site here. I’ve had so much happen since the Malice in Wonderland show. Heres a few highlights. I am getting some work out-of-town and not just out-of-town but, back to my home town in Michigan! I will now be a regularly featured artist at Gallery 323 East. 323 East is a cutting edge gallery located up in Michigan. The crazy thing about this gallery is that it’s about 2 miles from my childhood home. I’m very excited to get some of my work up to Michigan and its even cooler thats it’s so close to my old neighborhood that I grew up in! I’m really happy to be a part of the gallery and to set up a regular place to show my work out-of-town. Not just some one time show! Also keep them eyes peeled in Jacksonvilles local Folio Weekly Magazine too. I have a upcomming interview that I will be conducting on 4-22. Not sure when it will be ran in Folio Weekly but, I’ll keep ya posted. I will be showing some new works on May 19th at MILK Gallery  in New York for a group show hosted by the lovely folks at Stoked Mentoring. The show will be a part of a fundraising event to help raise much-needed funds for the killer programs Stoked Mentoring provides(Think X Games meets Big Brothers and Sisters).Last but not least, I will be a part of another group art show at Pinkghost, in Hollywood FL, called “Book It” on June 19th. All the art work at the Pinkghost show will be done on book covers! I’m sure it will be a unique show with some mad talented folks on board. I should also have some new pieces here in Jax at Avondale Art Works for the first Friday Art Show on May 7th and I will be setting up some eBay auctions for some smaller pieces any day now. So, as you can see…I’m super busy…as usual. Im moving and shakin all over the place latley…full steam ahead!

Malice in Wonderland- Pictures up!

I’m posting up my pictures from the Malice in Wonderland series today! Check out all eight paintings by visiting my “Originals for Sale” link on the website here. It was a hell of a lot of work and I learned a lot from the experience of doing such a big series. Eight paintings in just a couple of months is a lot of work. I’m, over all, pretty happy with the way the paintings turned out. Sure there were a couple of things I would have done different but, I’m still pretty happy with the turn out. If you want to see them up close just stop in at Avondale Artworks Gallery here in Jacksonville FL. The show will be up through the rest of April.

I also have available, for the first time, limited run giclee canvas prints available for each painting. They are prints on gallery wrapped canvas and look just as good as the original. Each giclee is signed, dated, and numbered in a limited run of only 25 prints each. The gicless are only 100.00 and will measure 11×14. If interested in a print contact Avondale Artworks or just drop me an email and I’ll get it done for you. Thanks to everyone who supported me during the process of pulling this off. Thanks to Ken Stutes at the gallery for giving me the freedom to do what I wanted to and for having faith in me and my work. A big thanks to Kelley(my wife) and Jeremy(my son) for being so understanding when I have a deadline and have to work for weeks on end to get things done right. Thanks to everyone who loves what I do and shows such great support when I need it most. The next series of work is all ready brewing in my head. Stay tuned folks…Im on a roll.

Malice in Wonderland- This Friday!

This time has finally come. I have been working on this show for the past two months and am very pleased with the work I’ve done. I will be featuring 8 brand spanking new paintings inspired by the story of Alice in Wonderland @ Avondale Artworks during the month of April. The opening reception is on Friday(tomorrow) 4/2 from 6-9pm. The owner, Ken, at the gallery is also going to let people order high quality canvas print giclees for just 150.00 per canvas. This is the first time I have had such a killer option for people to buy a less expensive version of my work. The giclees that Ken creates are awesome and of the highest quality and I’m really happy to have this as a viable option for my paintings. I personally want to thank Ken Stutes at Avondale Artworks for allowing me the freedom to pull this series off and display my work in his gallery. Nothing is better that having the full support of the gallery that you display your work in. It’s very nice to work with someone like Ken who truly appreciates what I do and has faith in my work. I’m looking forward to the show and hope to see you all there! Ill be posting pics of the work after Friday so keep them eyes peeled.

Interview with the Times Union

Just finished up an interview with the Florida Times Union recently. The article focused on Riverside artists and what we do. The interview covered me, and my friends Logan Zawacki, and Darlene Muto. It was a lot of fun and I think its great that the Times Union was interested in all of us. Check out the story here- Ill have another really cool interview coming out at theouterbox.com some time this week as well. Good times!-b.

Where to Find Me

Currently I am not participating in any art galleries. Untill I get back up to speed I most likey will not be a "regular" at any galleries for a little while. Thing may change but, I have killed myself time and time again trying to keep up with the demands of art shows and art galleries and Im trying to limit myself to that sort of thing so I can produce better quality work vs just a big quanity of work to fill up wall space. Im sure this will change here in 2012 but, Im being very picky about what I will and wont do.

Best bet is to stay in touch with me is through my website! Join my email subscription so ya dont miss out on what I have up and coming or find me on facebook.
