Geeky Black Velvet Paintings

geeky black velvet paintings
Way back when, people used to make fun of velvet paintings. Rightly so. They were usually tacky things that featured Elvis or a wolf howling at the moon. That was before velvet paintings started getting geeky.

At Gallery1988 in Los Angeles these beautiful paintings done on black velvet were recently on display. The show was titled, “Cult of Personality: a Velvet Art Show from Bruce White”. The painter has taken many sci fi characters and painted them on velvet. Everything from Star wars to Star Trek, to Blade Runner and beyond. They all look amazing.

Classic Hollywood Stars in Superhero Movies

Classic Hollywood Stars in Superhero Movies
Today superhero films are everywhere. Most films being made are superhero films. That wasn’t always the case. So what if these superhero movies were made in the 1940s or ’50s? That what this series from artist Joe Phillips explores. Clark Gable as Iron Man? Cary Grant as Batman?

If you like the old time Hollywood take on these flicks, you can purchase these directly from Phillips on his Facebook page. I especially love the Marilyn Monroe piece.

Marvel Superheroes As Dogs

Marvel Superheroes As Dogs
I can’t say that I have ever wondered what Marvel superheroes would look like as dogs, but artist Josh Lynch clearly has. So he created this art series to show the rest of us what is in his head. This series is super fun. I think he made all of the right casting choices.

It’s hard to pick a favorite. If these dogs were up for adoption I would have to take them all and create a super canine team.
