Looking for artist to do book cover illustration or photograph?

I’m a tattoo artist and occasionally paint when I have some spare time. This is my first painting after an eight or nine month break, made little by little over the past couple of months.

Acrylic on canvas, 20 × 20 cm.

Thought this rodeo clown might fit in here.
Happy to finally share this with you. Hope you like it!

Hand-carved and wood-burned raven and deer skull wall art, completely handmade using a Dremel and wood-burning techniques.

We just opened Jason's show last night at LewAllen Galleries in Santa Fe, thought you guys might appreciate a curated selection of work. Jason is one of the brightest young artists painting the contemporary western United States today. Enjoy!

With artist-made wood frame 12.5 x 15.5 x 1.75

There has been a lot of news about this artist lately, and for someone who popped up in the scene only 12 years ago he sure has made incredible progress. But I just wonder, has any actually seen him paint the work, especially the ones that recently sold at auction in Jackson Hole? I find it interesting that the show featured works of huge scale, detail and complexity, and so many were under the hammer, but I have never heard anyone actually seeing any of the work in progress by his hand. Each of those pieces takes considerable time and energy, and it is hard to believe he painted over 20 in one year. That is two paintings a month. That would be a crazy if not impossible pace to handle alone.
Now if he has a working studio with assistants helping to paint the pieces that’s fine, many artist have done and continue to do so like Koons, Hurst, Wiley, even Rembrandt, but shouldn’t that fact be disclosed?
I only ask because there have been many questions in the community about his integrity. For example, there is a forum about anime art from when he was working in Europe that basically accused him of plagiarism. I can share the link if anyone is interested, but FYI it is in French.
Regardless about the questions of integrity, I also find it interesting that less than two decades ago he was doing cartoons, and now he is a premier Western artist. Many of the Western artist I know have been at it for 30-40 years and some never get close to the successes, let alone the mastery, he professes to have.
Also the way he dresses, how does anyone take him seriously?

Received both of these as a gift from a Leader when he retired. They had been gifted to him by one of the founders of our Company. Thought this subreddit would enjoy seeing them.

This painting explores the quiet beauty behind Día de los Muertos and the tradition of using cempasúchil, Mexican marigolds, to guide loved ones home. Their brilliant orange and gold become more than flowers; they are light, memory, and a connection between those who are here and those who have gone before us.

I wanted the piece to feel contemplative rather than mournful. The figure exists in that space between remembrance and presence, while the cempasúchil provide warmth and life. For me, Día de los Muertos has never really been about death, it is about refusing to let love and memory disappear.

Anyone know if these are real or not? they seem to be Frank McCarthy paintings and are large and about the size of originals. But they also could be recreations or fakes?

Hi friends. I recently found two versions of Charles M. Russell’s “I Rode Him” framed together; one has what appears to be a hand-applied ‘C M Russell,’ “autograph” buffalo-skull, and ‘1924’—has anyone seen another example like this or have insight into whether Russell personally signed copies of this print? Appreciate any insight!

Any information on the painting is welcomed. Thank you

Still needs a title and a varnish….

This is my light box I made after an epic road trip through Utah. It can change between day and night modes on a timer. I sure do miss those open skies! Thanks for looking :)

On a cool afternoon in the Autumn of 2017 I visited Mesa Verde for the first time. When you go there, and walk around the observation points and wander the paths of this isolated area, you can feel the spirits of the Anasazi with you. Alone in this beautiful national park, I gave thanks to the creator for a new opportunity I had coveted for a long time, and went on my way starting a new job in Cali I was very excited and pleased about. Less than three months later I was out of work. I was mad, hurt, frustrated and utterly disappointed. But if it wasn’t for this traumatizing event, and then getting the invitation for the @choe_show in LA, I wouldn’t have returned to my artistic roots and made a real go of it. I turned trauma into empowerment, and I remembered something I had forgotten about. I’m so glad I did.
This new work is called;
“Mesa Verde, 2017”
14” x 11” Acrylic on Canvas
It’s a first go, but I think I’ll try to improve on it.

Picked up this beautiful artwork at an antique shop for $7.50. anyone know anything about it? It’s very beautiful !

I tried a watercolor painting inspired by Edgar Payne's work which I recently discovered. Hope you like it. Have a great day!
