Spring Forward to the Groggy Lands

Hello Everyone!

It felt safe to welcome Spring early because this Winter has basically been Spring for weeks... then it snowed and got freezing. Winter got me with the long game. Good one.

This week has been a sluggish one because of the time change, which never seemed to affect me before. Guess my older self is more affected by these things now. Another fun wrinkle to aging. Between that and trying to figure out a way to keep out dog out of the cat litter room (he's apparently addicted to cat poop), it's been a slow, choppy week. I did manage to redo my portfolio website though, which I've been meaning to do for a while. I think it looks great. Check it out if you're feeling it. Also, my blog moved to this site so if you were subscribed to my old RSS feed, you'll have to update it.

Besides that I've been busy with my Patreon Digital Paintings. Here are the last two I did for 2022 and the first two I did for January and February this year:

October Digital Painting: Spell of Twilight States

Spell of Twilight States - 2022 - Digital Painting

This piece continued my Halloween season paintings. Really love how this turned out with the multiple vertical levels and lighting scenarios. Each sections has it's own vibe but it all works together. Here are some details:

Prints can be found here: Spell of Twilight States Print

November/December Digital Painting: Season of Subtle Bounds

Season of Subtle Bounds - 2022 - Digital Painting

Here's my winter themed piece for the year. Winter is a season of mixed emotions for me so the duality of this image really suits me. Joy and depression are uncomfortably close to each other during these months. I do love this character and the spirit cat.

Prints can be found here: Season of Subtle Bounds Print

January Digital Painting: March of the Exiled

March of the Exiled - 2023 - Digital Painting

For the piece in January, I decided to revisit an old painting titled, March of the Exiled. Here's the original painting from a solo show at Jonathan LeVine Gallery in 2009.

March of the Exiled - 2009 - Oil & Acrylic on Wood Panel

It's one of my favorite paintings from that era. I decided that I'm going to kick off every year with a digital remake of an important painting from my past shows. It'll be interesting to see how I can adapt the old imagery with my current painting sensibilities. This one was super fun and it was awesome to revisit these old friends. You can find prints here:

March of the Exiled 2023 Prints

February Digital Painting: Spirits of Forgotten Places

As I mentioned in my Patreon post about this painting, I really tried to go simple with this image since it was a short month, but I guess I just can't help myself. My dog loves cat poop and I love ridiculous details. I also really, really love painting dead trees. So much enjoyment. Plus I got to paint a ghost doodle.

Prints can be found here: Spirits of Forgotten Places Print

Art Show News:

I have a couple group show coming up this year. The first is collaboration between Thinkspace and Antler Gallery. Here's the info:

Cyber Black Cat Returns w/ Metal Prints and Puzzles

Hush now. Listen. Seriously shut up. Do you hear that?

Are those the sounds of merry scratches inside a cardboard box of winter night? Have you heard objects being pushed off tables only to find a pile of neatly stacked gifts instead of utter wreckage? Is that the pitter pattering of paws zooming down your hallway followed by the strong aroma of nutmeg, pine, kitty litter, and a hint of savings?

These sounds can only mean one thing. Cyber Back Cat has traveled the Meowltiverse to bring jolly mischief and Holiday cheer back to our mundane realm. Time to celebrate their arrival.

From Monday November 28th through Friday December 16th, all items in Andy Kehoe Art Shop will be 15% off using code:

CYBERBLACKCAT2022

That means even the special edition metal prints. There are only a couple of the Together in the Maelstrom Metal Prints left so grab one while you can. They can be found in the PRODUCED section of The Forest Foundry.

Speaking of metal prints, Cyber Black Cat has brought something truly wondrous with them this year.

Midwinter Orison Metal Prints will go live on Monday, November 28th at 4:00 PM eastern. You can go to the Forest Foundry for more info:

Midwinter Orison Special Edition Metal Prints

Not only that, Cyber Black Cat is bringing PUZZLES!

I have 10 of these new puzzles and they will also go on sale Monday November 28th at 4:00 PM eastern in my Other Products Section.

HOLIDAY CUTOFF DATES: Any orders received after these dates will be shipped after Christmas.
Domestic Orders (USA): December 19th
International Orders: December 12th

No shipments can be guaranteed but these dates give you the best shot. I’ll do everything I can to make sure your orders reach you in time.
For International orders, I’ll be shipping DHL whenever its possible. DHL will reach you within a week which is amazing, but I can’t offer it to everyone because it is insanely expensive to certain parts of the world.

Otherwise I’ll ship via USPS Priority International, which I can’t predict at all. USPS has been pretty erratic with international shipping lately so I don’t have the greatest faith in them. If you want it for sure in time for the Holiday, DHL is the way to go.

If you’d like to know if you qualify for DHL before ordering, email me a message, including your shipping address, to andy@andykehoeshop.com and I’ll check. And if it is really expensive, and you still really want to get an order in time, I can work with you to split the extra cost.

Thanks everyone!
-Andy

Liminal Season Arrives Again

The veil between the living and the spirit realm becomes ever thinner. The time of ghosts and witches are upon us again.

Turns out, I love painting ghosts and witches. This will be the 4th year of me continuing my Halloween themed digital paintings for Patreon and its another reason for me to love this time of year.

Here is my newest: Arise O Gossamer Night

Arise O Gossamer Night - Digital Painting - 2022

This year, I made the brilliant decision to do my piece in September so that its actually done in time for Halloween. Big brain move. Had a lot of fun making this one, though it did take many twists and turns along the way. I documented it on my Patreon page if you're interested in that type of thing.

Limited edition prints are available now in my Shop.

/**/

Other News:

Metal Prints:

I have a few new metal prints in the works including Night Cathedral and Midwinter Orison. I'll be releasing the previews for them soon along with the presale period.

Midwinter Orison

I've fast tracked this metal print specifically so that it'll be available in time for the Holidays. If all goes to plan, these will be produced and in my studio by December.

If you want to be notified when this metal print goes on pre-sale, email me:

andy@andykehoeshop.com

I'll make sure to send you a notification.

That should about wrap it up for this brisk Fall update. Hope all of you in the midst of Autumn are soaking it in and enjoying it. I'm going to do my best to get out there and breath it all in.

For those of you in the Halloween mood, here's a collection of prints to fit the season.

Halloween Season Collection

Thanks as always for reading and supporting.

Ok Winter Settle Down, I Have Updates

Hello Everyone!

Hope all of you out there sharing this crazy winter weather are holding up ok. We had a crazy ice storm over the weekend which shut me down for a couple days. Was ok on the power front, but had no desire to brave the icy streets to get to the studio. Our dog, Gizmo, on the other hand loves the snow and is completely living it up. Unfortunately for us, he's got those short legs and his underside quickly becomes a little snowball collecting factory.

Patreon Digital Painting

Made my first Patreon Digital Painting of the year and it was an involved one. So many details in this one. I've been working on a story for a while and this scene popped into my head. Hopefully I'll be able to share the larger story soon.

Underworld Conveyance - Digital Painting - 2022

Some images are very hard to translate to small screens and this is definitely one of them. I ultimately had the print for this image in mind and it does look amazing as a print.

Photo doesn't quite capture the vibrancy of the print but you get an idea of the size.

You can find the prints in my Shop or follow the link below:

Underworld Conveyance Print

Puzzles!

Finally got some new puzzles in recently and just posted them to my Shop.

You puzzle lovers can find them here:

Heye New Skies Puzzle

And one last thing. I have a new collection out with Gelaskins. They collaborate with artists to make phone cases, iPad/Laptop skins, and a whole manner of other products. Here is a sample of some of my new cases:

If you want some new swag for your devices, you can find my collection here:

Andy Kehoe Gelaskins Collection 2022

Also, Gelaskins asked me to do a video for promoting on social media and this is what my studio mate, Steve, and I made for them. Its super weird but luckily they loved it! haha

Thanks as always for reading and supporting. You're all the best this world has to offer.

Cyber Black Cat Pouncing Early on 11.15.21

Does the briskness of nascent winter winds feel like icy whiskers on your cheeks? Do you feel a rub on your legs that feels like falling snow? Have you heard meows in the middle of the night that echo with merriment and the crackle of wood fire? Are your nose holes wafting in the scent of dead fish and peppermint? You’re not losing your mind (most likely), these are the unmistakable signs that Cyber Black Cat is once again nearing arrival.

Cyber Black Cat sees the state of the world and has decided to pounce in early this year. With the global supply chain woes and overall shipping chaos, its a good idea to get ahead of the holiday crush this year. So Cyber Black Cat will arrive again on Monday November 15th and he’ll be here for an extended stay of 3 weeks until December 6th.

During Cyber Black Cat’s 3 weeks stay, all items in Andy Kehoe Shop will be 15% off by using the code:

CYBERBLACKCAT2021

HOLIDAY CUTOFF DATES: Any orders received after these dates will be shipped after Christmas.
Domestic Orders (USA): December 17th
International Orders: December 10th

No shipments can be guaranteed but these dates give you the best shot. I’ll do everything I can to make sure your orders reach you in time.
For International orders, I’ll be shipping DHL whenever its possible. DHL will reach you within a week which is amazing, but I can’t offer it to everyone because it is insanely expensive to certain parts of the world. Otherwise I’ll ship via USPS Priority International, which should take around a week and a half. But USPS has been pretty erratic with international shipping lately so I don’t have the greatest faith in them.

If you’d like to know if you qualify for DHL before ordering, email me a message, including your shipping address, to andy@andykehoeshop.com and I’ll check.

Thanks everyone!

Welcome Chill Autumn Winds

Happy Fall everyone and hope you all had a wonderful Halloween!

Looks like the hot breath of summer is finally off our necks and we're getting some proper Fall weather around here. Gotta say though, the leaves are a little spotty this year. Last year was just so amazing. The leaves were so vivid and they stuck around for so long. But if we ever needed a lovely Fall, it was last year. Last year was rough.

There is one way to keep Fall around longer and that's to bring some Fall love into my newest digital painting for my Patreon page. A few years ago, I started a new annual tradition of making a Halloween themed piece for October and its now something I really look forward to. Just love painting witches. Here's my piece for 2021 called, "The Eve of Rended Veils."

Prints are available now in my Shop. Here's the info on the print:

The Eve of Rended Veils
26" x 22"
Limited Edition of 100
Signed, Titled, & Numbered
$95

Here's a direct link:

The Eve of Rended Veils Print

Thanks for reading!

Its a Mad World, Pet a Cat

Hello Subscribers!

I apologize for the lack of posts on this Blog/Newsletter but man is it hard when the world seems to be falling apart around us. Plus there are so many damn outlets to consider these days and I'm being pulled around like crazy. It can spread you thin, so to keep what's left of my sanity, I've had to focus on just a couple venues to get me through. Those have been my Patreon and Instagram. When all is chaos you gotta keep things simple. So if you aren't signed up for any of those, you can find them here:

Andy Kehoe Patreon

Andy Kehoe Instagram

Speaking of Patreon, I've been continuing my Digital Painting journey and this year has been great for me. Here are some samples from my Digital Painting posts on Patreon.

**Together in the Maelstrom 2021** - I started the year with a digital remake of Together in the Maelstrom so that I could offer it as an open edition print. The original print edition sold out super fast and it was the most requested print I would get by a long shot. It resonated so deeply with people and I wished I had it available to share that image with everyone that wanted one. So the best solution for that was to make a new one and I love the way it turned out. Also, I'm on schedule to make the next progression in this series as my 10th year wedding anniversary is coming up next year, and after the last couple years we've had, its gonna be a doozy.

These are all available as prints in my shop. Click here to check it out: Andy Kehoe Art Shop

Art Show News:

I have a couple group shows coming up in the next couple weeks.

The first is the Vanguard show at Outré Gallery in Melbourne Australia.

The show was supposed to open on August, but Melbourne is under another lockdown due to a certain dickhead virus that won't get the hint. They were hoping to hold out a bit to see if it would lift, but with no clear signs of letting up, they decided to release the online preview on Monday and hope for the best. Hopefully people can go see these pieces in person before it comes down.

Click here to sign up for the online preview: O utré Gallery Vanguard Preview

Here's my piece for the show.

Braving the Hereafter - 16"x20" - Oil, Acrylic, Resin on Wood Panel

The next show is the 16th Annual BLAB! Show.

Always an absolute honor and pleasure to be involved with BLAB! and seriously, look at that lineup. Amazing to be among such great and accomplished artists.

I don't have a piece to share yet unfortunately. Things are not going smoothly with this particular painting. The painting itself is looking great... but unforeseen circumstances are hindering me from finishing it. The first being that my cat Gremmy got really sick and my wife and I have been dealing with that for the last several days. Poor little guy got a urinary block and that ain't great for a cat. So he's been in the emergency clinic, but good news is that he's home now but we're in full monitoring mode. Besides some shaved arms, a shaved chunk of fur in the middle of his tail, and a shaved butthole, he's looking pretty good.

Thank goodness he's recovering. Don't know what I'd do without my little buddy.

On top of that, my painting just won't dry so that I can do the final layer. When I start the finishing details and line work, I always put a thin layer of Galkyd on top of the whole piece because it gives me a nice smooth surface to work on. Put it on Tuesday... and its still tacky. Ugh. Why??? This never happens. Maybe the humidity? I was behind as it was with the all-hands-on-cat-deck crisis, and this exactly what I didn't need. Giving me heart palpitations. Just goes to show you, paintings can be a fist fight sometimes, no matter where you are in your career. The painting is currently sitting right in front of my window AC unit. Fingers crossed.

Print Shop News:

I'll be releasing my Outré piece, Braving the Hereafter, as a limited edition print next Friday. I'll be releasing it alongside another painting I did earlier this year called, Lost Reverie. They're both going to be small editions of 50 so get them while they're available. I'll send an update next week to remind you all.

Lost Reverie

Also, I post a digital painting every month (this month excluded due to craziness) and I release the prints at the same time so be sure to keep on eye on that. Again, the best place is my Patreon and Instagram.

And that should do it.

Take care and be safe out there!

-Andy
