Artboy Vs Fanboy 'DC Vs Marvel' Exhibition


Four times a year Artboy Gallery opens it's door for artists from all walks of life to enter its Artboy Vs Fanboy exhibition. Some previous Artboy Vs Fanboy themes of 'Goodies Vs Baddies', 'SciFi', 'Doctor Who' and 'The World of Jim Henson' have produced amazing art and record attendance. The first theme for the year is also looking to be a HULK smash with 'DC Vs Marvel'. Artboy says:
"It's a turf war that has been raging across comic book pages, TV screens and cinema for decades but the time has come to square off & lay down some smack down as we have assembled some amazing artists who have created artwork for the 'DC Vs Marvel' exhibition; with both sides fighting to assert their dominance over the comic and pop culture world! Some of the artists included this time around are: 
Sekure D, Striffle, P-YEH, Frantz Kantor, MOMOT, Dan Lynch, Sean Stagg, Joe Villanti, Keltie Mullin, Steven Lane, Vandal, Mick Lambrou, Brett Willis, Mark Bernard, Flick, Samantha Thompson, Sean K Hughes, Luke Aldred, Andy Zile, Jimmy Twin, Rabbit Town, Viet-My Bui, John Bedovian, Rob Macfarlane, George Evangelista, Jarrad Price and many more."

Commencing at 6pm March 20th, opening night of the 'Artboy Vs Fanboy' exhibition always delivers to be a great night of art, socialising and a few surprises with beverages available for a gold coin donation. But not to worry if you can't make it as Artboy Vs Fanboy 'DC Vs Marvel' runs through till March 29th.

Jason Edmiston has Eyes Without a Face


The eyes are the window of pop-culture in 'Eyes Without a Face' solo show at the Mondo Gallery in Austin by Jason Edmiston. Drawing on the most known eyes of pop culture, 
Jason says:



“I had the idea for the show when I was working on my last solo exhibition for Mondo Gallery. I was driving around town with my wife bouncing concepts off of her. I checked my rear view and had the idea. The shape of the mirror made me think of just using a tight cropping of eyes for the basis of a show. I also kind of wanted to see what it would feel like to be in a gallery surrounded by eyes staring at you. It should be quite an experience to stand in the centre of the gallery and slowly rotate 360 degrees, creating a feeling of being watched by your heroes.” via Collider



Each amazing 1:1 ratio piece is hand painted on wood showcasing 150 original pieces inspired by film, music, comics, video games, toys and more. Eyes Without a Face will run from March 13th to April 4th.
