SDCC ’10: Costumes and Characters

Posted by Khoi, July 30, 2010

Part of the immersive Comic Con experience for many is dressing up as their favorite character (or just one they strongly resemble) or interacting with and watching others in costume. It’s like the best organized Halloween party ever. Many attendees really go all out with some fantastic get-ups. They all help make the SDCC experience memorable and provide some wonderful photo opportunities. Check out our selection of them after the jump…

The cool thing about the “Annual Summer Invitational” at Jonathan LeVine Gallery is that we get to see some fresh faces that haven’t had an opportunity to grace the gallery walls before.

As we previewed prior to Comic Con, the weekend event featured the unveiling of some fantastic sculptures and figures by artists we all know and love, including those by Jeff Soto, Travis Louie, David Choe, Shepard Fairey, Yoskay Yamamoto, and Luke Chueh. SDCC was your opportunity to nab exclusive pieces, like the Ghost Seeker and a rare colorway of Mr. Spray.

Posted by sleepboy, July 28, 2010

This Saturday, July 31, Merry Karnowsky Gallery will be hosting a new show, “Vivid Fiction,” a joint venture between artists Junko Mizuno, Aiko, and Samuel Lowder aka FrePrs. Although it seems to be a somewhat discordant grouping, each artist has something to offer to those that attend. Aiko Nakagawa, formerly part of the Faile (featured), continues to develop her own imagery and style, showing a feminine touch that has been missing from the Brooklyn collective since she left. Junko Mizuno will be bringing her unique […]

Showing: George Lucas’ & Steven Spielberg’s Norman Rockwell Collection @ Smithsonian

Luckily for us, they are willing to share these iconic pieces with the public in the form of an exhibition, “Telling Stories”, at the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C. The exhibition, highlighting the connections between the master storyteller with American life and the movies, opened earlier this month and will continue into Janurary 2011. More examples of the 57 works on display […]

Streets: Sam3 for Insitu Festival (Spain)

Posted by sleepboy, July 26, 2010

After doing some good work for this year’s Fame Festival, Sam3 moves on to another gathering of street artists, this time in Spain. The new Insitu Festival (see Escif’s piece), the brainchild of Madrid artist San, was held in walled city of Cáceres, Spain – a city known for their stork’s nests of all things. When taken in that context, this beautiful piece from the master of the silhouettes begins to make more sense. A closer look at this mural after the jump, as well […]

Of course, we are talking about the work of Eric Joyner, who will be opening a new solo show – “Donut Logic” at Corey Helford Gallery in August. Often locked in epic battles or involved in unlikely scenes where the protagonists and antagonists have been been replaced by tin robots and donuts of various shapes and sizes, Joyner’s characters are painted with a sort of […]
