Big Business

Here is my newbie! Big Business, one of my fave bands for always and ever, but I don't have their latest album because I'm broke. I'd like a new tshirt of theirs too. This peice will be going to Modern Eden Gallery in San Fransisco for the Dark Art" Tribute to Metal in August, unless they simply hate it and refuse to show it. It's my idea of what the character in the song "grounds for divorce" would look like, kinda jack frosty in the fact that his breath kills all plant life, except it doesn't grow back- and I have a few exciting announcements I will be making soon too.......

art room ridiculousness

NEW PAINTING!! "Johnny Cash Ostrich Attack!"30x30 inches, acrylic on canvas April 2012. (For those of you that don'tknow the story, JC was attacked by an ostrich on his land in the early 80's, which lead to his readdiction of pain killers-so the story goes) This will be on display at The Hive Gallery in LA in September as part of my "Haunted Ground" series, hope ya like it!

UNgreeting card by Erika Jane Mallette

Ungreeting Card by Erika Jane MalletteFrom erikajane82
This is what I've dubbed an "ungreeting card' featuring my Bad Richey painting. There are plenty of cards out there that say such nice pretty thangs, and I've created some that say ugly thangs,. This one is for that special someone that needs to hear it ....."go F**k yourself", you know, maybe your nosey neighbor, or your ex, or that girl in the office that thinks she's better than you, that clown thats talking the shit behind your back, so on and so forth and the like and what not.
This can be a gag gift or serious, its all up to you.! now go to my etsy and buy one!

i'm emerging from cave man status, well a little....

I've just recently decided to try to come out and join the digital age a little more, or i guess I didn't decide to, I just started messing with coloring some of my drawings digitally. Heres my drawing before, which was pencil and marker that I scanned and colored, or attempted to color on the computer. I kinda like it! I usually don't use the computer to make artwerks because I work on the computer about 8-10 hours a day and thats the last thing I wanna do is sit at the computer more, but maybe I should embrace my fat of sitting and staring at the screen for all eternity. I present to you James Hand
