My personal style: Fine Art – Jen Lobo

Tuesday, January 8th, 2013

I usually only feature artwork that I sell at the shop, but sometimes there are artists whose pieces are WAAAAY out of the Shana Logic price range and yet, I am so into their work I just have to share them with you!


(my favorite piece, worlds apart)

Today’s featured artist is Jen Lobo.

She’s a Californian artist whose work I first saw in a gallery. Her pieces are clearly inspired by nature and have a dark sadness to them. They’re striking and beautiful and totally unique!

Her originals range from $1200-2400 and the pieces I’m featuring have no prints available (gotta save up!). I WISH she’d make prints for my shop – that would be a dream come true, wouldn’t it??!

I hope you enjoy the pretty pictures!

 

 

 

Aren’t they amazing?

Introducing… Clair Ashley!

Monday, December 24th, 2012

We’re so excited to share Clair Ashley’s work with you – it’s minimalist, elegant, and even a little punk! We love how Clair brings together traditional and modern elements to create these fresh statement pieces. (How much cooler are those friendship bracelets than the ones I used to make? So much.)

Thursday, December 20th, 2012
You might have noticed their work in the new arrivals section already, but we’d like to take this opportunity to formally introduce you to this amazing husband-and-wife team, Maiden Voyage! We love their detailed artwork, which takes inspiration from nautical culture, nature, and a little weird science, and adds their own unique sense of humor and style. And check out that old-school offset printing on the posters!

Introducing Fine Artist Mary Louise Silva

Sunday, July 22nd, 2012

Check out the work of our latest addition to the Shana Logic Family: Mary Louise Silva!

Her unusual pieces, inspired by nature and animals, are interpreted into a completely unique drawing and painting style that’s sometimes cute, sometimes dark and creepy, but always intriguing.

And….creepy cuteness:

 

I’m in love with Mary’s series called “Guise,” featuring animals wearing skull masks. They are totally unusual and creepy but have a sense of humor, and at $13 a pop, you’ll want to collect them all!

She also has them available as magnets.

Her magnets are different than the traditional pin-style magnets in that they are hand-coated by her with a satin finish for a more fine art feel.

Stay tuned for more of her work!

 

your cute for the day inspired a new word!

Sunday, March 11th, 2012

Two years ago I bought the original of this nubby kitty, and I’m super excited to finally be able to offer him as a print! The original painting hangs in my bedroom and I just sometimes stop and stare at him (like, how did he get so nubby? Why is he sad AND so cute…his EYES–just look at them!!)

Jason Edward Davis is a new artist in my shop and I think his work is FREAKIN’ awesome. He’s got kitties. narwhals and octopus covered…that’s for sure! I basically want to wallpaper my house in his work which would make my house the kingdom of cute (can you imagine a 10 foot tall nubby kitty in my living room??)

Did I mention his blob-ular narwhals (yes, I JUST invented a word)? I mean, it just keeps getting cuter doesn’t it?

See all of his work including a bunch of kitties attacking an octopus!!

You all know I’m a HUGE fan of Kendra Binney’s Limited Edition Wall Panels. I own two from several years ago and basically stalked her until she agreed to sell her work on my site! (I’d like to think I was a very sweet and charismatic stalker, but I’m sure every stalker thinks that;-)

twinkie chan awesomeness

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011

Twinkie chan is one of those rare, super lucky individuals who is not only super talented, but also cute as a button – JEALOUS!! Anyways, she posted this pic of her in her blog (don’t kill me for posting this twinkie!!) and it reminded me how cute her ice cream scoop barrettes are!

As a side note, I don’t know what kind of pink she uses for her hair but we have pretty much the exact same hair color! I use special effects atomic pink in case you have a need to get your pink hair on ;-)

 

I’ve still got a few left so if you’re in the mood to rock one, go grab it!

Look at this cool tattoo that the artist Tsai Fi’s hubby got of her Kitty Katkeshi character! I love a unique tat.

Love Kitty Katkeshi but not ready to commit to ink?

mark poulin+narwhal=WIN!

Sunday, May 29th, 2011

My dream is becoming a cute-astic reality!

A few months ago I asked Mark Poulin (one of my amazing artists who basically specializes in CUTE) if he’d make me an exclusive design. I really really wanted a mark poulin-style narwhal!

He sent me several rough sketches (I’d post the other drawings but I didn’t want to put him on the spot;-) I chose the one above for it’s big eyes, simple details and general poulin-esque cuteness and waited…

and we both waited…and waited…and then:

POW KAZAM! Isn’t it fantastic?? The best part is that it’ll be cast in silver bronze instead of Sterling Silver so that it will be an affordable $22! (actually, the best part is that it’s an adorable narwhal but still :)

They should be arriving in a couple of weeks so stay tuned!
