Just updated the blog with information about this Saturday's show at Van Eaton Galleries in Sherman Oaks. :) The show is curated by Ruel Pascual.
Here's a teaser from my blog about the drawing (check out the post for the rest!)

"This Saturday, June 16th, opens “A Moment Of..” group show at Van Eaton Galleries, with one of my drawings featured. The show is curated by artist Ruel Pascual and includes artists Sam Wolfe Connelly, Andrea Wicklund, Michael Ramstead, Alina Chau, and several others.
I’m especially excited to present this piece for this show, as it was this work that sparked a new series of birds for me, and it’s one of my favorites from this year’s collection of drawings. With it, I found a nice balance of my older work, which was based in high realism, and my current, abstract, free-flowing work. The show, “A Moment Of..” concentrates on influential moments in the artists’ life, whether it be a moment of love, life, death, or inspiration.
For me, I chose to revisit the moment..."

An exhibition of new works by Cleveland Morris has opened in the McCarthy Gallery of Holekamp Hall on the campus of Washington and Lee University. The show will remain on view until August 31. The gallery is free and open to the public Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Entitled “Guitar Soliloquies,” the exhibit consists of paintings and a single drawing featuring solo figures of men playing the guitar. Lost in time, space, and deep in thought, these men find tranquility and self-expression in their private worlds—a world barely glimpsed by the artist and viewer.
In addition to these figure works, the show also contains an assortment of still lifes. These small paintings are called “Donut Portraits” by the artist. They depict donuts in various stages of their short pastry lives: from pristine bakery-case show pieces to partially and greedily devoured morning treats.
Cleveland Morris is an artist living in Staunton, VA. He is best known for his still lifes. The works in this show mark a decided departure in his subject matter. He exhibits frequently and widely throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. In Lexington, his work has often been seen at the Nelson Gallery and in a previous solo show at the McCarthy Gallery in 2009.

Drawn from Tim Burton’s personal archive and representing the artist’s creative output from childhood to the present day, this exhibition of 500 drawings, paintings, photographs, sketchbooks, moving-image works, and sculptural installations focuses on the recurrent visual themes and motifs that resonate in the distinctive characters and worlds found in Burton’s art and films.
While Tim Burton had been previously known almost exclusively for his cinematic work, including Beetlejuice (1988), Batman (1989), Edward Scissorhands (1990), Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Ed Wood (1994), Big Fish (2003), Corpse Bride (2005), and Sweeney Todd (2007), the international exhibition of Burton’s art displays the full range of his creative production, revealing a versatile artist whose unique vision transcends mediums and formats.
The exhibition reveals an inimitable style that is informed by Burton’s specific perspective. His amalgamations of man, animal, and machine are evocative of an artistically-inclined Dr. Frankenstein with an unfettered imagination. The interplay between horror and humor figures prominently in Burton’s art and films and this theme of the “carnivalesque”—the mixture between comedy and the grotesque—is seen in projects from Batman to Alice in Wonderland (2010). Perhaps his most notable and well-known motif, the soulful melancholy of Burton’s iconic misunderstood outsiders—from Edward Scissorhands and Jack Skellington to the Corpse Bride and Frankenweenie—is deftly expressed in the drawings featured in the exhibition.
Timothy Walter Burton (b. 1958) grew up in Burbank, California, a homogenous suburban American neighborhood that compelled Burton to find respite and escape from its blandness. Guided by the movies on television, comics in the newspapers, myths and fables told in school, and other forms of popular culture as well as the holiday seasons (when houses and lawns in his neighborhood were decorated with festive trappings), Burton incorporated these lifelong influences into his art at an early age. His childhood sketches demonstrate Burton’s range and call to mind the work of his predecessors, including classic cartoonists and illustrators such as Edward Gorey, Charles Addams, Don Martin, and Theodore Geisel. The impact of Japanese monster movies, Expressionist Cinema, Universal Studios’ horror catalog, and suspense maestros William Castle and Vincent Price also permeate Burton’s work.
Comprised of works from his signature films and projects including The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories (1997) to never-before-exhibited artworks, The World of Tim Burton is a deeply engaging experience that gives the public access to the artist’s very personal and singular output.
“The World of Tim Burton” is organized by independent curator Jenny He in collaboration with Tim Burton Productions.

In his sculptures of dancers, Edgar Degas sought to capture the female body in motion and in strenuous ballet postures. Many of his models were young and impoverished ballerinas at the Paris Opéra. In 1910, one of his regular models, known only as Pauline, described the physical strain of holding this posture. She did this repeatedly over many sessions. Four sculptures and numerous drawings feature this pose.
And a message. An awesome message.
Greetings, Santee, from your G&T Secret Santa!
I've made a couple silly drawings for you, included here. The Santathulhu drawing and proxy account were made because you have "cthulhu" in your screen name. So it seemed like the thing to do. The other drawing, featuring a couple TF2 characters, was based on something I saw in your post history, about wanting to see a Medic with Archimedes on his head. Well, I drew that, but then I drew some other stuff in there, too. Dinosaur, Spy, other dinosaurs. If you'd like higher-resolution versions of these drawings, you can download them in a handy .zip file. It's the same two images- just bigger.
Some physical gifts have begun their journey to you, from the mighty Amazon. Hopefully, they are things you'll like, but don't have yet. Estimated delivery date is... A SECRET. (Santathulhu might contact you again, closer to when the package should arrive.)
There's also a steam gift link in here, but Santa's identity will be revealed when you click on it. So, if you want to preserve the mystery a bit longer, you can wait to click it, until the main gifts arrive. Or not. You can click it now, if you're really curious!
Merry Thanksgiving and Happy Christmas,
SANTA
