Is that a new painting by Brian? Why yes, Yes it is! Here is a lil glimpse of one of the new paintings Ill be posting up on eBay and here at the site.

Got a new painting up on eBay right now. This one I titled as “Love Me?”. This one is of one of my favorite characters, the skull bunny. The painting is all acrylic, signed and dated, on wood. Its set as a five-day auction and opening bid is just 6 bucks! Check out the auction here on eBay….I also listed a few older paintings as well. Peace out!
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!
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.

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!
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!

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.

Here is a pic of one of the pieces I submitted to the Haiti Benefit show and Concert that’s taking place tonight at Suite 106 Gallery at the Jacksonville Landing from 5-9pm. Theres gonna be some killer bands, free Moonriver pizza, and a silent auction with some killer local artists involved to help raise funds for Haiti relief. So come out the Suite 106 tonight and have a damn good time. For details on the show and the bands check out www.theouterbox.com for details. This is gonna rock!!!-
UPDATE- Thanks to everyone who came out to the show! Sorry I was not there to hang out, I had other obligations that night. I had several emails about this piece. The silent auction was a one time deal and this little painting went to the highest bidder that night for 50.00. Thanks for all the support and supporting a good cause!
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.
Its that time of the month for the First Friday artist reception at Avondale Artworks! Stop in and see what all the buzz is about! I have several new pieces for the show and prices are marked to sell for holiday shoppers out there. I will be at the gallery on 12/4 from 6-8 and also on 12/5 for Christmas in Avondale! Ill be painting a 16×20 piece that will probably be sold that night to the highest bidder. Not sure if Im really gonna go that route but, either way it will be a blast! Come out, show some love, and have a glass of wine with me. For details about Avondale Artworks or if ya need more info visit www.avondaleartworks.com – See you there!
