What's Happening?
What are you doing July 13th? Going to be near the Downtown Disney® District at Disneyland in CA? Well then you have to stop by and say hello!
I have the honor to be showing 3 new paintings for their latest Pop Fusion Exhibit at WonderGround Gallery. Although I'm not able to show off what I did just yet, I am able to say that I will be signing outside the gallery from 10am till 12 noon alongside Jeff Granito, Jeremiah Ketner, Noah and Daniel Samakow.
Can't wait to see you there!
I am really excited to be taking part in MF Gallery's 10th Anniversary Show opening June 8th. First because I've always wanted to show with them, second because it's in Brooklyn and I'm actually thinking about venturing beyond my property to go and third (and mostly) because my husband will also be showing his new work.
My piece is "Sven", he measures a diminutive 5.5" x 5" (slightly smaller than a real rat) and will be priced, like all the other artwork for the show, at a very reasonable $100.
My husband's piece is under his new moniker, GH-05-T and is called "Insomnia". It measures 11.25" x 14.75" and has glow in the dark eyes!
I'm so happy to finally be able to introduce you to my latest painting, "Albus Lepus". I was asked to create a new image for a limited edition print release with Plastic Foundry and this is the result.
The original painting measures 12" x 16" and will be available for purchase on Thursday, May 23 at 3pm EDT through my own shop. You can see close ups and more details here.
-- SOLD
The prints (shown on the right) are an edition of 50, measuring a generous 16.5" X 23.4" and are only available through Plastic Foundry - <a href="http://plasticfoundry.com/?product=albus-lepus-by-cuddly-rigor-mortis">click here for details.</a>
Once again, thank you for your support - enjoy!

If you haven't heard yet, I've got two sweet new prints available.
First is my Bad Robot/LOST inspired piece, "9.22.04 #815" that is a signed and numbered edition of 35 for $35 bucks! Available over at Gallery 1988.
Second is my "Kaapauku Life Day Portrait", available as a signed and dated 9" x 12" print for only $30 in my own shop!
Decisions, decisions...which to choose? Bad Robots or Wookies? Or maybe you should just get both!
If you haven't looked at your calendar recently then you may not know that this Saturday is May the 4th. There are a lot of Star Wars tribute shows to choose from but here's two that I'm particularly fond of.
First is A Saga in the Stars: A Tribute to a Galaxy Far, Far Away presented by Gallery Nucleus. This is another monster of a show-
I was asked not to preview my piece until the show opened but the gallery has it on their website :D If you want first dibs on the artwork (before the opening) then simply sign up for the preview list here.
This is a large piece for me (15" x 11.25") and I really wanted to make a statement since Star Wars shaped the course of my life. I present "Kaapauku Life Day Portrait" with Chewie and his family, Lumpy, Itchy and Malla (anyone see the Star Wars Holiday Special?).
I hope this piece makes everyone smile because it was so much fun to paint!
The other Star Wars I wanted to mention is G999-2: The Haunted Mansion Meets Star Wars presented by Gallery 999, during Bats Day in Anaheim. I was asked to take part in this by the awesome Noak K but I just couldn't swing it with my schedule. But c'mon...Haunted Mansion AND Star Wars? Pure gold :) My hubby is participating and has such a cool piece but once again, it's hush, hush on previews (for real this time). But you can visit Gallery 999's website and get all the details here:
May the 4th be with all of us!
Have fun :D
Gallery 1988 just had an amazing opening for The Official Bad Robot Art Experience, now thru May 18, 2013 in their new space at 7308 Melrose Ave. Once again, I wasn't able to be there, but from the shots of the lines around the block, I'm not even sure I'd be able to handle the crowd (and Usher!).
Over 100 artists were involved and had any of the tv/movies that JJ Abrams' company, Bad Robot, has produced over the years. We're talking Fringe, LOST, Alias, Star Trek, Super 8, Cloverfield...need I go on? I happily rewatched the movies for inspiration but decided on LOST - a favorite of mine. Here's what I came up with:
I'm happy to say that the piece sold opening night, but still urge you to visit the gallery because Alex Pardee did a kick-ass Cloverfield mural that I'm dying to see in person.
If you can't visit you can still view/purchase the artwork here and with 10% benefitting a GREAT charity called The Mission Continues which helps veterans become community leaders, it's a win/win!
Thanks for reading!
Hi everyone!
I've been busy printing up a storm here and I'm proud to say my shop is brimming with brand new prints. All five of my Dendrology Mythology creatures are now available as both 8" x 10" signed prints as well as 11" x 14" signed prints. With all the details in these images, I just couldn't resist printing them out larger!
I've also started my annual Spring Sale. As always, I chose a few prints to send into retirement so make sure you get these while they're still available. Lots of favorites on sale for up to $10 off too!
Thanks for all the support and have fun -

I was asked by Gallery Nucleus to do a couple paintings for their Not in Kansas Anymore: A Tribute to the Wizard of Oz show that opened last night. I immediately knew I wanted to do my version of a winged monkey. Here's "Nikko and Toto"
Since I never read any of the books when I was a kid (shame on me) and I was sick and running a high fever, I thought I'd take a few days rest and read some of the books. What a delight! I had no idea the world that Baum had created beyond the first book! So many wonderful characters, it quickly became apparent that I had to choose ONE to paint. But I loved so many of them...the Queen of the field mice, King Dox, Jack Pumpkinhead, Eureka.
But Billina, Dorothy's companion on her second trip to Oz, Queen and subsequent Governor of the chickens of Oz was my choice. Especially with my long love of painting chickens!
So here's "Billina" with her pearl and sapphire necklace (for special occasions only) sitting on her silver perch...
So many thanks to Gallery Nucleus for inviting me to do this show and opening up the whole world of Oz for my inspiration. I have a feeling I'm going to be visiting these characters again in the future!
"Nikko and Toto" sold, but there are prints available here.
"Billina" is still available here.
Enjoy!
I'm sure everyone is familiar with my husband, Ed Mironiuk. He's been the illustrator for Tattoo Magazine for 20 years, pinup artist extraordinaire and all around great guy.
I love him.
He's starting a new artistic adventure, far from the tattoos and pinups you may be familiar with and although he originally wanted to stay anonymous, he's decided to come out of his cocoon with it.
He'll be working under the name GH-05-T and I proudly present a selection of his works -- I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
"Garbha"
"Jalakara"
"Kapala"
"Roga"
"Mitha"
...you didn't see them, the full pieces from my mini showcase at Auguste Clown Gallery are now online. They did such a wonderful job framing them, I'm considering framing all my work now!
This is "Betula" and she's the only creature who didn't find a forever home during the preview.
(Update: she's sold) If you're looking for something to put on your walls, won't you consider her?
Little Wren says, "Yes!"
And if you are looking for prints, I'm going to be producing the series along with the gallery so no one will have to pay such high shipping costs no matter what side of the world you're on :)
Many thanks to everyone else who gave a home to one of my woodland friends!
