New painting up on eBay- NOW

Lonesome- 9×12 – Acrylic on Wood

Got a new painting up on eBay right now. Its set as a five-day auction and opening bid is just 9 bucks! I know its been a looooooooooooong time since I’ve painted anything, but, after exorcising a few demons I feel I’m back to picking up my brushes again. I know this is just a simple painting but, it felt great to be painting again. I’m definitely motivated once again to produce more work. I really feel like I’m back up on the horse and ready to create. I’m also working on two other paintings right now that will also be sold only on eBay. I might be doing an upcoming show in L.A. sometime around November as well. Feels good to get back to what I love. Check out the auction here on eBay….I also listed a few older paintings as well. Peace out!

9 Paintings on eBay…NOW!

I have put up a total of 9 paintings up for grabs on eBay. I have kept the opening bids on all of these pieces very,very, low compared to what these paintings would cost via my website or in a gallery setting. Why am I selling off my original paintings so low? Well, it’s a new year and I need to get out with the old to bring in the new. Plus I need some start-up money to begin screen printing! This will give me the extra income necessary to buy all the supplies I need to get things going. If you have ever bought some of my work now would be a great time to buy a painting from me. This is a really good deal on some of my original paintings. I will also be posting up 3 more paintings on Monday to add to the list. This is a win/win situation…Im selling some originals at a low starting price to all my peeps and from the sales I can begin diving into some serious screen printing. Check out the auctions here and thanks for all the support folks. Check it out-

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.

Humpty Dumpty found a home

Just sold another painting late yesterday! Thats two paintings sold in the same day and the third painting sold in just a week. I’m doing pretty darn good this month! Thanks to the person who gave this painting a new home. I really enjoyed doing this painting and I’ve had the concept down on paper for weeks. It was actually inspired from the “Designers in Toyland” show I wrapped up with the AIGA earlier this month. I was considering making a 3d sculpture of sorts of humpty dumpty and this painting was more of a sketch of what the final creation was going to look like. I decided to just go with the hand sewn skull bunny(s) instead, which were a hit anyhow. Thanks again for bringing a little bit of my style into your home. Hope ya dig it as much as I enjoyed making this character.

SOLD @ Avondale Artworks

1finding-happiness

Just made my first sale out at my new home gallery out at Avondale Artworks. This piece sold on Saturday right after I dropped off a new batch of paintings to the gallery. Im now featured in the front window of the gallery and according to Ken( the president of the gallery) the response has been insane. Lots of people who are maybe not so familiar with me or my work are dropping by every day to see what Im all about. Very good news! Its stuff like this that really motivate me to keep pushing forward. During this month I plan on busting some butt to have all new work for the gallery for December’s artist reception on the first friday of the month. Speaking of which, Avondale Artworks will have an artist reception for all the artists involved with the gallery every first Friday of each month…so, Ill be out at the gallery on this Friday 11/5 from 6-9 if ya wanna hang out or just meet me for the first time. Avondale Artworks is a great gallery and Ken is super awesome and I appreciate him giving me a shot. -Ill post a pic up real soon of a brand new piece I just did for the gallery( my pc at home is down, should be working tonight).- Peace.-BG

JUXTAPOz2

Well to say I all most crapped myself this morning would be an under statement. Low and behold Im surfing the usual art sites…and as I stop by Juxtapoz Magazines web site at Juxtapoz.com and swung by the Reader Art section and damn my eyes, Im on top of the page in the Reader Art section. I about back flipped out of my chair. I have been inspired by the art works contained in Juxtapoz over the past four years. Hell, they really got me motivated to create art work in the first place. I remember picking up my first few issues and thinking… if these guys can do this, so can I, and I never looked back. This had totally made my day to receive recognition from the people at Juxtapoz who in my opinion, are the leaders of the lowbrow art movement. Juxtapoz has helped so many underground and under apreciated artists get some much needed exposure to the masses and I think its great to be a part of something as big as Juxtapoz in any way. Thanks Juxtapoz!!!

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.
