Fish Prints, Drawings, Toys, and such.

Who doesn’t like fish? No one, well except for Christina. Here’s a selection of fish themed art prints, drawing, and vinyl toys dedicated to our finned friends.

Silent Auction for Kids Read Comics

On a very rainy night last month, Green Brain Comics debuted a gallery full of comic themed artwork.

All of the art on display is for sale in a silent auction format. Proceeds go towards the Kids Read Comics Convention, a totally free event that unites kids with professional artists and writers from the comics and animation fields. The convention will be held on  June 12 & 13 at the Henry Ford Centennial Library in Dearborn.

The owners of Green Brain very graciously allowed me to take pictures of all of the artwork up for auction. Each of the pictures in our photo gallery (behind the cut) shows the informational card beneath it. If you’d like to bid on one of the pieces, contact Green Brain. The exhibit will hang until Friday June 11th and any remaining pieces will be auctioned off that evening during the opening reception for the Kids Read Comics Convention.

Ophelia Chong

Using wood type and a Vandercook letterpress Ophelia Chong creates these simple, yet awesome prints on found photos and old magazine pages. I love her color choices for the ink. Aside from just printmaking, Ophelia also creates beautiful collages out of hand cut paper. Much much more of her print and collage work can be viewed on her Flickr page.

My Life As a Number: Keegan Wenkman

Keegan Wenkman, also known as Keegan Onefoot round these parts, debuted a slew of new work in Minneapolis over the weekend. XYandZ hosted a solo show entitled “My Life As a Number”. In addition to original illustrations, Keegan released a beautiful letterpress printed, hand-bound book called Codex Viginti Sex. This edition focuses on the number 26, and he plans to self-publish a new edition each year working backwards from 26 until he reaches zero. Burlesque Design also released 6 screenprints at the opening.

All six screenprints can be seen at onefootinfront.com. The detail shots of the printing process at Burlesque are on Flickr.

Emily Wong

Emily Wong, the artistic half of design team Ninja vs. Penguin, is quite the illustrator. I especially love how realistically she depicts hair. Emily, as Ninja, along with Penguin runs a blog where she talks about art, fashion, music, film, and all things creative. She also has some limited edition offset prints of her work available in her web shop.

Letterpress collaboration with Ophelia Chong.
