The Pop Art Style continues

A Selection of David Perillo Posters - I love that Ramones one



Trawling the many caverns and crevices around the net I stumbled across a site called montygog.blogspot.com. The site features the work of a 34 year old Philadelphia artist named Dave Perillo, a pop culture nut who has drawn inspiration from some of the most recognised cult creations of the moving picture age.

You have just entered the Twilight Zone



From fantasy stop motion guru Ray Harryhausen to grandiose cinematic lord Alfred Hitchcock, from Muppet man Jim Henson to the sci fi anthology of The Twilight Zone David has put his own unique stamp on recognizable characters, posters and other retro merchandise.

Personally I think David’s art bares some the marks of Genndy Tartakovsky creations like "Dexter’s Lab" and "Samurai Jack", this is a good thing. Simple designs, bold colours and strong lines make all his pictures easy to enjoy.

In turn, there is also something quite Charles M. Schulz (Charlie Brown) meets Hanna Barbera (Flintstones, Top Cat etc) about the graphics.

Blair Prentice artist Toronto glossy kitten

A good friend of mine, Blair Prentice, is an up-and-coming artist back in Canada, etching out a living in Toronto. His work has always been colourful and full of pop culture references, but his latest collection of watercolours is cheeky and shiny, like a wall full of horrific merchandising burnouts.

The Riddle of William M V Kingsland

August 16th 2008 03:29
The FBI Art Crimes Quandry

New York Art writer William M V Kingsland was a marginally recognized figure within the community who collected, reflected and researched fine art. Over the years his acquisitions grew and when he died in 2006 it was discovered he left no heir. Christie’s Auction House and Stair Galleries were brought in to catalogue and sell the prestigious works from the Kingsland House.

Royal Academy art smash
It's easy to prevent visitors from touching oil paintings; you hire some stuffy attendant to make throat-clearing noises whenever the paintings are in danger.

With sculptures, though, a red velvet rope usually suffices. Maybe even a polite sign
