Artist Spotloight of the Day: Cherri Wood

Today, we have a post about an artist we’ve only been following for a few months, but we really dig her style. Her name is Cherri Wood and she is only 19. She’s already taken part in multiple group shows and her work only seems to get better. You can find some info about her, as well as some pictures of her art, on her myspace, flickr, and blog. It’s a great idea to pick up her work now because the longer you wait, the more you’re going to have to pay. You can get a great giclee from the CMYK Projects website here. It’s of her piece called “Stupid Bear” and you can see a picture of it below (additional pictures available on the CMYK website):

David Choe Is Ridiculous…

…And by ridiculous, I mean insanely talented. Word from the folks over at Arrested Motion (happy belated birthday to them, by the way) is that he made a huge giclee of an incredible painting called “Death Blossom” from his April show at PYO Gallery in Beijing. The thing is ridiculous. AM says it will be released at Giant Robot’s Biennale 2 show that will take place at the Japanese American National Museum in LA. Hop on over to the Arrested Motion post to check out the rest of the details. Hopefully the prints will be available online at some point (::fingers crossed::). We’ll be sure to keep you updated as soon as we find out any new information, such as the price, edition size, and where you can pick one up. Here is a picture of Dave holding the print (taken from the Arrested Motion post):

‘My Dishonest Heart’ from Audrey Kawasaki

Audrey just sent out an email to her mailing list and posted on her website announcing the release of the giclee version of her painting ‘My Dishonest Heart’. It will be put up for sale at 12:00 pm PST (3:00 pm for us east coasters) on Saturday May 9th. The cost is $100 (or $235 framed with uv acrylic, acid-free backing, etc.) with an edition size of 200. You can pick the print up here when it goes on sale. Make sure to register on her site because it’s the only way you can buy one. One more piece of advice, be on time because these sell out ridiculously fast. There’s no lag time or crashing servers, so if you’re not there right when the clock strikes 1200 (pst) then you probably don’t stand a chance. good luck! (we’re all going to need it)

‘My Dishonest Heart’

James Jean

Hey all, I didn’t want to crash for the night without doing a little write up on one of my favorite artists—James Jean. I’m sure that many of you have heard of him, but I still feel like he doesn’t get the attention he deserves. Three of his larger giclees are still for sale: “Toymaker” (my personal favorite), “Ballad“, and “Swan“. I know they’re pretty pricey so I present you with this solution: pre-order a copy of his Kindling – Poster Book over at Chronicle Books for only $29.95. You get 12 posters (each has a print of the painting on one side and a print of the preliminary sketches on the back) and a 24 X 16 gatefold poster of “Toymaker”. If you’re strapped for cash, but want his work on your walls, then this is the way to go. Just make sure to pick up something by this man while you can still afford it (or even if you can’t) because I have to agree with the people over at SuperTouch—he is in the process of “blowing up”.
