New Work Great (hopefully) and Small

I have a feeling that 2012 is going to be a good year.

I am going to start it with an amazing opportunity

to show some new work in a great gallery Loft 204.

The opening is Friday February 3rd at 6 - 9PM.

Here's the address: 532 W. 1st St. #204 Claremont, CA 91711

There are pieces great (hopefully) and small

with all the colors of the rainbow.

Also showing is the amazing ceramics artist Gina Lawson Egan.

It should be a very fun and awesome show.

Here is more info:

Please come to the opening for good art and

great times! I can't wait to see you there.

I will post more preview images later in the week.

Viking Giveaway

If you like vikings or free stuff, then you will like this.

The people that published PUSH PAPER are having a

giveaway for a copy of PUSH PAPER and the original

piece I've Taken A Viking To You.

It could be a nice Christmas present or

Valentine's Day is just around the corner.

There's also a hand mirror thrown in there to boot.

It ends the 20th of December so enter now!

Muppets and Post Its

Saturday December 10th is going to be a busy one.

I have a piece at Gallery Nucleus in the show

The Lovers, The Dreamers, and Me

A Jim Henson Tribute Exhibition.

I chose to do a rainbow of Muppets.

These characters were so fun to draw and cut.

Hopefully this isn't the last time I ever draw a muppet.

This show has an great line up and from the preview pieces

that I've seen this is going to be an amazing show!

That same night I have 5 Post Its

in the Post-It Show 7 at Giant Robot 2.

Here they are all together.

I didn't think I was going to get much detail on

such a small piece of paper but I think I did alright.

There are 1000's of pieces and most Post Its are only $20 each!

Hope to see you at one or both of these shows Saturday night.

Artists In Law

I am starting this month out with a very special show.

It's a family show with my grandfather-In-Law and

my brother-in-law. Both great artists.

Here is the info:

320 S. Mission Dr. San Gabriel, CA. 91776

Our reception is Saturday from 1 -5. Stop on by.

It will be a lot of fun.

I've been doing a lot of floral pieces.

I've sneak peaked a few on Twitter over the last few weeks.

Hope to see you there!

Trick or Treat?

Happy Halloween!!

Poolga Wallpapers

I got the awesome opportunity to make some

iPhone wallpapers for Poolga.

It's an amazing resource of great art work

for your tiny talking device.

I wanted to design some before and after scenes.

I've been drawing a lot of bugs lately, so I chose

to incorporate them into seasonal garden wallpapers.

Summer Garden

Autumn Garden

I'm very proud of these.

They are simple but complex and

were really fun to try to figure out.

Enjoy!

New Shop Items!!!

It's been awhile but I have new items in the shop!

Mirrors and Original Paper Cuts galore.

This is only a handful of the items and there's more to come.

I'm thinking a couple of prints. This and this maybe?

I would love to hear what you would want a print of.

PUSH Paper

I have the amazing pleasure to be in the new book

PUSH Paper: 30 Artists Explore the Boundaries of Paper Art.

I did a fun interview.

Hopefully you will learn a little about me and my process.

The book looks great and

I am truly flattered to be in such awesome company.

I even have a thumbnail on the back cover!

Stuff & Stuff

These are some designs for some hand mirrors

that will be available in not too long.

The Washington Post - Local Living

I had the awesome privilege of illustrating

the cover of the Washington Post's Local Living.

It is their Back To School edition. I was asked to create

the words "back to school" with school supplies.

I also illustrated a stack of books for the table of contents...

And the section headers:

I thought it was going to be a big challenge to try and integrate

all of the back to school supplies but once I made a list of

everything I could draw, it was smooth sailing.

Thanks to Tippi Thole for the art direction

and amazing suggestions!

Ten Paces - Trelawney

I did this for the great blog, Ten Paces. It has a great concept.

You do a sketch and then you switch sketches.

Mine's based on a sketch by the always amazing

Alyssa Nassner, who also runs Ten Paces.

I was lucky and Alyssa finished my sketch.

Here is her finish. sigh... So good.

In Harry Potter related news,

come out to the Harry Potter Tribute show

at Gallery Nucleus. It's going to be awesome.

Harry Potter Tribute Show

Here is a piece I did for the

Harry Potter show at Gallery Nucleus.

I didn't want to just do a piece with Harry Potter in it.

I wanted to do a piece for the die-hards. This is the book

that Umbridge gives out when she becomes the Defence

Against the Dark Arts teacher. I thought that this was a

major turning point in the whole series because

you can plainly see that the Ministry is meddling.

And it's all downhill from there.

If you are in the area and even remotely like Harry Potter,

definitely come to the opening. It's going to be amazing.

New Site!!

I am super happy to show everyone my new site:

jaredandrewschorr.com

I wanted it to look hand done and reflect my work

but I didn't just want a gridded Tumblr-y site.

So I had this concept of a theatre and ran with it.

I am very proud of it and I hope you enjoy it.

Paint The Town 2011

I have the great opportunity to be a part of

Snell & Wilmer's3rd annual Paint The Town

in Las Vegas. It is a fundraiser for the

Andre Agassi Foundation for Education.

The theme is "Vegas, My Love" so I did some pieces

of classic Vegas signs that have been torn down.

I also did a piece of the Luxor.

This light was the first thing I saw of Vegas from

waaay far away and I always thought it was cool.

I don't know if you can bid on them if you aren't

actually there but you can visit the site.

If you really like any of the pieces, there

is a phone number you can try. It's for a good cause.

Those people who live in or around Vegas, come

out Saturday night and have a good time.
