put 'er there by grant gilliland

Grant Gilliland aka The Gross Uncle does it again with a piece that is so weird it's so cute that it's so weird. "Put 'Er There" is an 8in. x 8in. acrylic painting on canvas and features another lovable freak, this time with a cap, funny hairdo, and his heart on his hat AND neck. How could you not love him? He can be yours for US$ 125.

duser

Artist and DJ Duser recently delivered these two 8in. x 8in. paintings done with aerosol, enamel, and acrylic. Heavily influenced by street art, illustration, and graphic design, Duser first came on the scene as a graffiti writer while also getting an education in the arts at Whittier College, NYU, and then SFAI. We first ran across him as far back as 2002 when he created this cool graphic for Trainwreck Industries.

These two pieces are of course available at fabric8, for US$ 150 each. Email us for more info.

stuter

Stuter is a talented SoCal-based illustrator and painter who's part of the Speaker Fruits collective. This piece is a dope print on a 10in. x 7in. piece of wood and costs a mere US$ 60. He's also produced two cool tees available at the shop (and hopefully online soon).

andy stattmiller, starving artist

We're not sure if Andy Stattmiller is really starving but he sures seems it with these little paintings of big food. And he makes us pretty hungry, too!

Done in acrylic on canvas, "Hotcake Heaven" and "Bierre Break" are each 8in. x 8in. and US$125 while "Downtown Pastrami Town" is 6in. x 4in. and US$65. The best thing is that you can indulge in these culinary delights and not gain any weight.
