Dragon Birthdays

I've been working on a series of original paintings for my store . Some more abstract than others. I hope to get my originals section of the store open in the next month or two but it's been busy lately. This piece is fairly small at 9"x12" and I have some ideas for a much larger piece in this same vein that I hope I can get to sooner rather than later. Mad Acrylic on Panel 9" x 12"

I am very excited to announce the opening of my new online art store! I will be selling my art prints and original art direct to you. The store currently has a handful of prints (shown in the image above) and original paintings will be available in the coming weeks. I will be adding more prints and paintings to the store over time. You can find a link directly to the store in the sidebar to the right. Check it out! www.DonShank.com

LAST MINUTE NOTICE... I will be at this year's San Diego Comic-Con on Wednesday preview night, as well as Thursday and Friday (July 22, 23 & 24). I'll be hanging out at RED WINDOW 's booth #4800 where Scott Morse will have a very limited amount of our Ancient Book of Sex & Science for sale! (it's sold out except for the small amount of books that Scott saved for the Con so if you haven't got one yet you better hit that booth first!). YUKI-7 Prints For SALE! I'll have some prints of my Yuki-7 artwork for sale at the amazing FLEET STREET SCANDAL 's booth #1316. There is a very limited amount of these prints too so get them while they're hot! There will be a large print of the raw painting (12"x15") and a smaller print (8"x10") of the painting with the pulp novel graphics. You might also find me hanging around this booth too. And while you are there definitely pick up the new book Seductive Espionage by Kevin Dart and Ada Col...

The Ancient Book of Sex & Science art show and book release was last weekend and there was a great turn out. I had a great time, and thank you to everyone at Nucleus for the work you did hosting it. Thank you to everyone that came down to the show, it was great meeting all of you. The show will be up through May 28th, 2009. Here's one of my pieces from the show... Mathturbation Acrylic on Panel 18" x 24" Details While I was down for the show I checked out the Marc Davis gallery exhibit at the Forest Lawn Museum in Glendale. I highly recommend going to see this if you can. I was blown away!

The gallery show and book release for the Ancient Book of Sex & Science is this Saturday May 16th at Gallery Nucleus at 7:00pm .
