New on Etsy: Shine
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7600667
12 x 12″
oil on canvas
Shine is a thick, decadent painting on a deep, solid frame. Cool gold, blue-black, and jewel-like chartreuse tumble across her demon skin. In low light, she seems to glow.
This was the penultimate piece in the Bee Commission, a years-long toil involving dozens of abandoned projects, and a not insubstantial number of completed ones. After I finished this incredibly grueling painting for my client and presented it to him, I realized it wasn’t really what he had been asking for in the first place. So the final Bee Commission piece came shortly thereafter, and made everyone happy. I was left with Shine, which I am now ready to sell.
This is titled “shine” in relation to a magnetic poem with the line:
shine beneath the honey garden
and watch the sea for me
A painstakingly-rendered oil painting, created over the span of a year, Shine underwent multiple incarnations in various colors and configurations. Progress photos can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eliza/sets/72157594183395035/
I know that original paintings can be pricy. I am more than willing to discuss multiple payments over time, and entertain offers.

[9/8 8pm] Gallery Opening Party at Blow Salon (there will be punch and pie)
“The Ghost of Blueprint Cat Contemplates the City at Night (an Argyrial Reverie)”
R E A L W O R L D
group art show
Blow Salon
8pm on the 8th (Saturday)
food, drink, music
2112 Berkeley Way
Berkeley, CA 94704
Last time I went to a Blow opening party, there was a ridiculous amount of excellent food and drink. Even if you despise my artwork, you would do well to show up and partake. Little home-printed sketchbooklets will be available at this show, something I’ve never done before.
I’ve been busy since my last show in Seattle, and the Real World art show will feature an avalanche of brand new, never-before-shown works including:
- Bombus infernae (10×10″, oil on canvasboard), the climactic end to the Bee Commission! A jellybean from hell!
- Wee Bee God (4 x 6″, oil on canvasboard)
- Rose-Colored Monocle (2×2″, oil on canvas)
- Dhampir (8×10″, digital)
- Shine (12×12″, oil on canvas)
- The Ghost of Blueprint Cat Contemplates the City at Night (an Argyrial Reverie) (2×2″, oil on canvas)
- The Vacuum-Traffic Controller (40×50″, oil on canvas)
- Lisette (I’m Sorry You Have the Right Number) (16×24″, oil on wood)
- and as a special treat, a secret work from the early Bee Commission that has never been seen by anyone but the artist and the client: the Angel of Rust and Nausea (10×10″, plus attached palette, acrylic on board). This piece will go back to private collection at an unspecified time, will never be scanned or photographed, and will never appear online.
And tons more. I have an overwhelming amount of wall and window space, so I’m hanging everything.

The Bee Commission Embargo is Broken!
I know at least three of you were interested in pieces from the Bee Commission, in particular the flagship image of the beegirl and her thunderstorm, now titled Shine. Here’s a horrible photo of it:
God, that looks like hell. I’ll try to get a better photo.
This piece, along with the Wee Bee God, are now for sale. Prices will be announced tomorrow, after I hang my show at Blow Salon in Berkeley. Opening night will be on the 8th; I’ll be posting more info about that soon.
Suffice to say, the best reason to show up to a gallery opening besides making me happy, is the SNACKS. The last Blow opening I attended was catered lavishly with strawberry-and-cake skewers, whipped cream, wine, cheeses, warm cornbread, and fresh vegetables. Not only was I fat when I went home, I was artistically enriched.
