It's really awesome to see, and follow the progression of a project and that is what we have been doing from day one as
Keith continues to feed us teasers of his upcoming "
MYTH WARRIORS" figures! Today we are getting a glimpse of the head of the first character - "The Dragon Warrior"- which looks simply amazing! However... Keith adds that the sculpt is not done yet, and that the final editing will be done soon... but can you imagine this head on-top of
this body?!?!

Blackbird Attic is proud to play host to an upcoming art show titled "Applied Biology" featuring the artwork of Jason Levesque aka "
Stuntkid"! This show opens on Saturday, September 11 from 6-9pm and continues to October 9. Jason's work is unknown to me until now, and after doing some research I am pleasantly surprised by the diversity in his work. I would be remiss to not mention the similarities in the above work to Tara McPherson, colors and theme, but the similarities stop there as the body of his work really delves much deeper and has some very realistic overtones that dazzle the eye and imagination!
"
Many times I'm inspired by a science-based subject I'm reading about," says Levesque. "
I'll get excited about something in the natural world and try to mesh it into my illustration work." Levesque's images are a combination of hand drawings, photography, and Photoshop editing which really lend to the realism! Be sure to check out this show as it will surely blow some minds... and fyi, I have a new artist to follow as Jason's work is spectacular in my book!

UK based artist
Jimmy Foo just passed along his custom Jouwe for the upcoming custom show at
Toy Art Gallery on October 2nd, 2010... and wow did he do an amazing job using only Aves Apoxie, acrylic paint and cotton fabric. I love the use of the Jouwe body as an actual costume that the sculpted figure actually wears, and the melted head appearing to be a piece of fabric, almost mask like, strewn upon the ground... AWESOME! This figures name is "Otus" and Jimmy says that he does give the "
slight impression of coming from a circus background, but his high wire act in an overly large rubber rhino suit was always going to be doomed to failure." This is going to be a great show, and this is just one of the many examples of what you will see first hand... so be sure to clear your calendars!

We posted
earlier last week about the resin casting class that
Itokin Park and
Amanda Visell are putting on starting tonight... which there are still 2 spots available (contact her
HERE ). Well now the time has come to release their limited edition resin collab titled "Bed Monster"! This piece is limited to only 25 and is set to
retail for $450... keep in mind this was sketched out by Amanda then all the pieces were hand cast by Itokin, so each one is completely handmade, and worth every penny! If interested, these will be available first in person at the release on Saturday night, September 11th... and if you can't make it you can email Amanda
HERE to get on the waiting list!

Opening this Friday at
Subtext Gallery in San Diego is "Damages"
N.C. Winters first solo exhibition with Subtext, in which he has created a collection of paintings that interpret the feelings of disrepair, sacrifice and loss wrapped in N.C.’s definitive style. The vibrant colors, raw textures, and enchanting characters found in his work introduces his unique point of view that often incorporates the juxtaposition of disparate themes in a very graphic, yet highly illustrative approach. On view from September 10th-October 10th, 2010... be sure to come out and enjoy the amazing work, and say hit to N.C. as he will be attending the opening.
