art - MARS-1 Invisible Plan custom figures

** Sorry, sold out. **

Mario (aka MARS-1) created these awesome custom painted versions of his Invisible Plan figures. I'll have individual pics of each piece up soon, but thought I'd post a group shot of these amazingly detailed figures. These were not on display in the gallery, and available online only. Only one of each, and each figure is signed by the artist. SOLD

art - Allison Sommers paintings

Allison Sommers' art was quite a personal discovery for me, in that her process and themes evoke tinyshop in many ways. The most obvious feature is size. Not only is her work small in scale, but she paints with such minute detail -- and sometimes under a magnifying glass! I have much respect for honing a craft, and paying attention to the details.

As you move closer, the subject matter includes even smaller creatures and worlds that might fit right in your pocket. A whiff of fractured tales, Victorian flea circuses and the complicated dreams girls are made of...

Details:
- Gouache
- All pieces sized smaller than 6x6

artist profile - Irina Troitskaya

Irina Troitskaya was born and raised in Izhevsk, Russia... a city she describes of dead ends, sad electronic music and Finno-Ugric cultural roots. Irina's love of drawing lead her to the Udmurt State University, where she studied art. However after five years, she became weary of her studies, which signaled a turning point in that drawing became an abhorrence.

Upon graduating from university, Irina abandoned drawing, and instead, worked as a TV journalist for a local arts & culture program. In the Summer of 2003, she felt the need for a career change and took her chances in Moscow, where she now resides. Irina currently works as a freelance illustrator by day, and an artist by night -- a happy result.

art - Leah Brawley Friends

Leah Brawley's adorable Friends are reminiscent of folk art, and the vibrant characters of 1950's book illustrations. Each wooden figure is hand painted, fashionably turned out, and no two are alike.
