SKETCH THEATRE

Lat summer at the San Diego Comic Con I did a little Sketch for the great people over at Sketch Theatre. This makes me really want to do a time lapse of a painting coming to life, my process is ENTIRELY different than drawing.

Well I'm back from Dragon*Con, and now have to catch up on a bunch of shows I'm working on for the winter, so posts might be a bit sporatic.

FREYJA

PRESS: CIRCUS POSTERUS TO RELEASE LIMITED EDTION CHRIS RYNIAK RESIN SCULPTURE ‘FREYJA’ AT DRAGON*CON IN ATLANTA.

Renowned painter-sculptor Chris Ryniak has earned high praise and world acknowledgement as a ‘creature creator’. In its simplest definition xenomorphic means unusual or strange form but there is nothing simple about Chris’ artworks that are in high demand by collectors globally. His creations and imagery are at once compelling and provoking, executed with the power and mastery of an artist who brings fantasy to life…

Ryniak’s ‘Freyja’ project is best described in his own words: “Long before the civilization of and the natural world thrived. With an uncompromising power to create, destroy and re-grow to fit the needs of its self-sustaining planet, nature was a perfect machine, billions of years in the making. Freyja is the embodiment of that power that many have grown to ignore to pursue the cerebral endeavors of humanity. Protector and custodian of the flora and fauna that continues to flourish while the world of man inches toward extinction. Freya waits patiently until the day when the world is balanced once again.” The original form was sculpted by Chris Ryniak and hand cast by Mana Studios in siltec resin (hand painted, signed and numbered by Chris). The Dragon*Con colorway marks the sculpture’s debut and will be in an edition of 40.

This piece is just less than 7” tall and will retail for US$85.

Time to Watch...

~

Last Year at San Diego Comic Con, I met David Stowe, who was putting together an all-star lineup of artists to create a new line of watches. Fast-forward one year, the first release is set to go for sale online within the next few weeks. The four artists picked for the debut are Brian Morris, Chris Ryniak, Damon Soule and Buffmonster.

This project was interesting and totally different for me and the end result is a super quality watch with really nice packaging at a great price.
