Tonight should be a really amazing opening at the Rotofugi Gallery, as Coarse brings their painting and sculpture back to Chicago with Glimpse of Truth. Having seen Coarse’s Noop show at Rotofugi in 2008, I can honestly tell you that their gallery shows are so incredibly well done, a lot of fun and something that [...]

We had a great time at the latest opening at the Rotofugi Gallery, Strange Powers: New Work by Ryan Heshka.  Ryan’s work was outstanding, the music (courtesy of DJ Genghis Won) was awesome, and everyone had an all around great time.  Ryan has a super cool style that is heavily influenced by pulpy sci-fi and [...]

Our friends at Rotofugi are once again (this time with the help of Blab! Magazine) bringing another amazing art show to their gallery.  I’ll totally admit that I was not familiar with the work of Ryan Heshka prior to the announcement of this show, but after checking out his site, I immediately became a fan.  [...]

While at C2E2, I had the pleasure of being introduced to the amazingly talented Jimbot. Jim is an artist from Milwaukee who has an exceptionally traditionally skillful painting style but thematically deals with unconventional images like fantastical robots and monsters (you know, the good stuff!). His inspiration comes from comics, advertising, childhood memories, and cartoons [...]

I know that I’ve said this a million times before, but I absolutely love the concept of the vintage action figure/toy as a canvas for art.  No one does art like this better than Hex Evo.  His Pollock-esque use of graffiti-inspired design over these toys of his youth is exceptional in the sense that his [...]

Check out these kick ass mini-paintings from our friend, Steve Seeley!  If you’re interested in picking one up, you’ll have to come to C2E2 this weekend, where Steve will have them for sale.  There will be 20 mini-paintings in all.  They are 2.5″x3.5″, acrylic on paper, and are framed in miniature frames.
