Dalek has 3 new limited edition prints now available at his online shop. Go grab one (or all three) before they're gone.
Shag also has a solo show at Jonathan LeVine that opens tonight. I've had mixed feelings about Shag's work. I think I was just getting a little bored with the same old same old. While checking out his new work I found a couple of things that got me really excited. Shag is doing a limited edition artist series wallpaper for Curio (so is Shepard Fairey and Adam Wallacavage). Also included in his new show is a few hand carved hand painted wood sculpture fish. I wish I could go check them out in person.
The third installment of the Tiny Showcase Learning Press Illustrated Guide Series became available tonight. Gavin Potenza's Illustrated Guide to the Stamps of the World is now available for sale online.

I'm not sure if my readers know this or not, but my mother (Jan Busse) is a fine artist living and working outside of Austin, Texas. I grew up surrounded by art because of her and owe a lot to her influence. She works mostly in watercolor and colored pencil and her works are mostly scenic. Ours is a family of creative freaks. We like to think that we keep things interesting. Anyway, I realize that my mother's work doesn't really fit the normal aesthetic that I display in my posts, but her work is beautiful none the less. I would love to one day do a collaboration with my mother, my sister and myself. Could be interesting.
I ran across Katy Horan's work today. I love her work. The graphic style, the imagery, the colors, and her materials all speak to me. She has an Etsy shop that doesn't have any work available right now but you can find a limited edition print of hers available through Little Paper Planes.
2 big art events are coming up next month in Miami, Aqua Art Miami and Pulse Miami. Held annually in New York and Miami, PULSE presents leading international galleries and artists showcasing the latest movements in contemporary art in powerful architectural environments designed to serve both seasoned and emerging collectors.
The Fair, which was conceived to bridge the gap between established and alternative art fairs, has enjoyed tremendous success in both Miami and New York, and this past year brought 40 exciting and innovative established and emerging galleries to London.
The format of PULSE is based on an exclusive selection of galleries exhibiting contemporary art invited by the PULSE Invitational Committee which is comprised of international dealers, advisors and curators. The fair was created to provide a friendly and intimate context for visitors and exhibitors alike. You can see Pulse's list of exhibitor's here.
