Closet Cleaning

Rik Catlow — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 14:53:18 +0000

Hey folks, I’m cleaning out the closets and putting some stuff up on eBay. Some xBox 360 games, an iPod Nano and a couple of paintings. These paintings are more on the experimental side and priced to move. Every once an awhile I like to do some work that are outside my normal process. So go take a gander at What, Bad Teeth, and Choke. Bid early and bid often. Ha!

The Stranger Cover (Aug 23 – 29)

A couple of weeks a go I did a piece on illustration board called Woozy. Well, on Monday the Art Director at The Stranger ask if they could use it for this weeks cover. I sent them a hi-rez scan and the cover came out today. This is my second cover for the Stranger, the other was in March 2006

Gary Baseman Show @ Billy Shire

I’m a huge fan of Gary Baseman and had the opportunity to see his show at Earl McGrath a couple of years ago when I was working in NYC. Truly amazing show. Well, the folks over at Billy Shire Fine Arts have posted photos and images from Gary’s latest show. If you live in the Los Angeles area you owe it to yourself to check it out in person. Also if you don’t own it already you should pick up Gary’s book Dumb Luck

On Saturday morning at 6:25am my wife gave birth to our first child. It’s been an amazing experience one that I’ll never forget. Our healthy baby girl weighed 6lbs and was 19in long when she arrived. Her mom is doing well and recovering. We expect to bring our baby girl home on Monday.

Digital Messin Poster

Rik Catlow — Sat, 16 Dec 2006 20:03:00 +0000

I’ve made available a digital piece called Digital Messin I did this week as a poster on Cafe Press. I’m not totally sure of the quality of the printing but Cafepress seems to be quite popular so I decided to give it a try. Here is a nice clear uncompressed version of the piece on Flickr.

Designer Toy Books

Rik Catlow — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 17:39:00 +0000

I’ve found these three interesting books on Amazon about the designer toy craze. I added these to my recommended books. I’m going to purchase all three very soon. I Am Plastic: The Designer Toy Explosion, Dot Dot Dash!: Designer Toys, Action Figures And Character Art, and MTV Overground : Toys.

Gracias, Danke, Merci

On My Desk

Rik Catlow — Wed, 21 Jun 2006 14:30:00 +0000

I was asked to contribute to On My Desk. A blog that shows artists workspaces and answers the question what’s on my desk. My photogenic cat Bobo makes an appearance in one of my photos.

Munny Commission

I did this commission about a month ago on a Munny. I wasn’t able to post it till now because it was a birthday gift. Didn’t want to spoil the surprise. Take a look.
