I was looking up visionary artist Joe Coleman who is having a show right now in NYC and I came across the Dilettante Press website which features some very interesting books. It also has a gallery link to a masonic art show:
"Blab! 17", cover by Jonathon Rosen copyright 2006
This is the what the upcoming isssue of "Blab! 17" will look like. You can purchase a copy through Amazon, Fantagraphics or various other websites. My "Banana Eater" painting from the first Blab art show will finally be published as a spread.
I will have 8 pieces available, 6 of them are brand new monkey love series paintings in smaller, more affordable sizes. The other two paintings are my new Blues Gals. I am very excited about this show and I will be going down to Santa Monica for the opening.
The Fantagraphics blog is called Flog. They talk about the Blab show, a major Joe Coleman exhibit, Daniel Clowes & Terry Zwigoff interviews, interview with Seth, etc. It's chock full o' interesting tidbits about comics and art. Check it out!
Copyright Federico FelliniThe Balnea Museum (previous post) also has hilarious cartoons by Federico Fellini. Apparently, he drew the poster illustration himself for his wonderful movie Amarcord(1973). It's one of my favorite films of all time and Nino Rota's soundtrack is unforgettably classic and hauntingly beautiful.
Pablo Picasso, Le Bagnanti Carlo Carra, La Romantica
I just found the most wonderful "Virtual Museum of Sea Bathing and Seaside Tourism" called The Balnea Museum. In their Special Exhibition section they have many of my very favorite early Picasso Bathers as well as the marinas of Metaphysical Italian painter, Carlo Carra. Plus much, much more! What a find! I will bookmark this one.
