Here’s another sneak peek of one of the two backgrounds I created for Light Grey Art Lab’s Great Personality exhibition, which opens January 24th. They just put out a trailer for the Great Personality Dating Game, which (I am excited to say) features both of my backgrounds. Hooray!

“Overcoming the Modern
Dansaekhwa: The Korean Monochrome Movement”
curated by Sam Bardaouil and Till Fellrath
Alexander Gray Gallery, 508 W26th St., NYC
In the late 1950s, a disparate number of young Korean artists discarded realism and figuration and adopted a monochromatic palette and artistic techniques that highlighted the flatness of the canvas as a foundation for later accretions and the physicality of the used materials. By the mid-1970s they had become known as Danseakhwa: The Korean Monochrome Movement. The exhibition features paintings and works on paper by some of the leading figures of Danseakhwa: Chung Sang-hwa, Ha Chong-hyun, Hur Hwang, Lee Dong-Youb, Lee Ufan, Park Seo-bo, and Yun Hyong-keun. Through a selection spanning three decades of artistic production, the exhibition highlights the artists’ efforts to make art that defies national identity and cultural production. The movement highlights the struggle between notions of belonging, national identity, and artistic innovation resulting from a negotiation with local cultural specificity and a Western notion of modernity. - thru Mar 29

Water Deer, 2014 ink, watercolor and digital
Good news! Because you guys are rad and love art and illustration, I’ve had more than a few requests for prints of this guy up here, Water Deer, and I’m happy to announce that it’s finally happening!
I’m releasing a super-limited edition of these prints, only 50 and that’s it, the end, no more. Get them at my ETSY shop RIGHT F’IN NOW, and for the loveliest lovelies that order the first 5 prints, I’ll even make an original sketch just for you to throw in with your order, because I love you THAT MUCH. Every print, though, will be hand-signed and numbered by me, and comes with a certificate of provenance (if you’re fancy, and also because some unhappy folks like to steal art and sell it and you want to make sure you’re not buying from those assbutts) and a personalized note of appreciation. Each print is a high-quality giclee (I’m overseeing every part of the process, so no worries) and printed on archival quality heavy-weight paper. They’re all lovingly packaged by me personally and ship within 5 days of your cleared order. Each print is $45 plus shipping ($10 within the US, and if you’re anywhere in the Boston area, ain’t no shipping at all, just let me know in advance - hey hey!). Every dollar goes to the artist to reimburse for the cost of printing and shipping and more art gettin’ made for y’all.
This original illustration was made in ink, watercolor, and digital coloring, and the amount of detail visible in the limited edition print vs. the digital jpeg you’re seeing right now is a world of difference and will probably look awesome on your wall next to that Hieronymous Bosch poster and over that weird wall stain that has no discernible origin.
Buy it for $45 buckaroos on Etsy, support working artists by buying original pieces and prints directly from them when you can, and please don’t be a party-pooper and make sure you reblog art that you love from the source and/or with credit whenever possible. Thankyouthankyou tumblr art lovers!
