crazy in love

I happened to catch the video for Beyonces' "Crazy in Love" this morning; It's still amazing! I've seen this video so many times I think it might be permanently etched into my psyche.
Half hour speedpaint from ref:


Beyonce sure can shake it! More art soon.

Festival of the Erotic Arts

I'm going to be at the Festival of the Erotic Arts in Edinburgh this weekend.
It looks like it's going to be an amazing event with tons of stuff going on, so head on over if you can! More info about dates, acts, prices etc can be found on the website.

Zapped

It seems like it's been a while since I last updated, so here's a quick speedpaint of Scatman Crothers from a screengrab of "Zapped" I just did over lunch.


And here are some process shots...

More art soon.

Mishap on the International Spacestation

Wooooo! I've got a new print up for sale!
This is a pic I did for Girls and Corpses magazine earlier this year, and I'm really pleased with how it turned out! I haven't drawn any horror (or psuedo-horror; this is more silly than scary) for ages, and it was really fun to do. A limited print run is available in the shop RIGHT NOW!

 More art soon!

filler

Hello! Wow, I am so busy with commissions and stuff at the minute that I'm barely getting time to draw my own stuff, let alone post it up! But I hate neglecting this blog for too long, so here's a teaser detail of a pic I'm working on for Cinema Sewer. I should have some more finished stuff up here soon for you're viewing pleasure, promise!
::edit:: added a better version instead!

Art Market

Me and the Missus are going to have a stall tomorrow at the pop-up shopping day at The Resistance Gallery in London. I'm going to be selling prints and postcards if you want to swing by and buy art and say hello! Although you'll probably end up talking more to my wife than to me because I'm very unsociable.



If you say the code-word "Fishhook" I'll give you £5 off prints and and free postcard!
More info about the event here.

Princess

Here's a pic I just finished for Princess Honey Cunt! (NSFW)

More art soon

Welcome to the Future pt2

Here's a quickie sketch; One of the bits of tech that I would really like to see in my lifetime is holograms integrated into everyday life. Watching tv, playing games, having vidcalls etc would be so cool in hologram form!

Get to work boffins!

Gameware

Here's an image I did recently for Austrian games store Gameware.


This was a lot of fun to work on; they just gave me a super loose brief (sexy girl plus logo) and then let me run with it. My favourite sort of commision!

The prints for the Spring Fever oil paintings are finally up in the shop!

Twitter!

Hello! In a rather transparent attempt to get more followers I'm going to be releasing a mobile phone screensaver in the next couple of days via Twitter exclusively.


Being a massive technophobe I initially derided twitter, but it turns out it's actually been a really useful tool for making contacts and generating business, who knew?
So if you want it go and follow me @bennewmanart!

The pic I did for a Jane Doe Apparel tee is finally available as a super limited edition print!


Head over to my shop to grab one.

I haven't put anything up for a while so here's a super quick sketch I just did.

More art soon

Homesick

Here's one I just finished. I like this one a lot personally, but it's probably not everyone's cup of tea...

A limited print run of 30 A3, 5A2 and 1 AP is available in my shop.

Giving me money!

The six paintings I did for the Spring Fever exhibition are now available for sale! Email me for details.
