Spotlight Series: Deadpool

By glitchgallery | Published: May 14, 2012

This week we continue our Spotlight Series on Tanane Whitfield with one of his two dimensional pieces: “Deadpool.”

“I’m a Marvel Comic fanatic!! Deadpool is on of my favorites.” ~Tanane Whitfield

This little guy is Acrylic on a vinyl Munny, measuring in at 7” x 5” x 4”. I don’t know about you but it’s rather fitting that Tanane’s favorite is the “merc with the mouth.” You think he sees himself as the Deadpool of the Tattoo world? Might not be far off.

Stay tuned for next week’s Spotlight!

Spotlight Series: Turtleneck & Chain

By glitchgallery | Published: May 7, 2012

So, this week we continue our Spotlight Series on Tanane Whitfield with the tiny terror: “Turtleneck & Chain.”

“[It was] inspired by Lonely Island’s ‘Turtnleneck & Chain.’ I love comedy! If you’ve heard the song, you know what this is!” ~Tanane Whitfield

Well that certainly sounds like an assignment to me, doesn’t it to you? “Turtleneck & Chain” measures in at just 4.5” x 6.5” and is Marker on Bristol.

So, homework then: stare at Tanane’s work while listening to the inspiration behind it and tell us what you think! Comment on our Facebook and we’ll see if we see what he sees! Know what I mean?

Stay tuned for next week’s Spotlight!

Spotlight Series: Otis

By glitchgallery | Published: April 30, 2012

So, this week we continue our Spotlight Series on Tanane Whitfield with the show favorite: “Otis.”

“[It’s] inspired by Otis Redding’s ‘Sitting on the Dock of the Bay.’ I just had the idea of sitting so long on the dock that you became a zombie.” ~Tanane Whitfield

Otis measures in at a brisk 9” x 12” and is Tanane’s media of choice: Bic Pen on Bristol. But do you notice the little fishhooks everywhere in the head and the coonskin cap? This man pays attention to subtleties!

Stay tuned for next week’s Spotlight!

Spotlight Series: Frankly

By glitchgallery | Published: April 23, 2012

So, first week post show and now we begin with our Spotlight Series on Tanane Whitfield; the first piece being Tanane’s heavy hitter: “Frankly.”

“I was in a dark place when I started sketching this on a Post–it. I couldn’t shake the idea so I decided to keep it going via acrylic.” ~Tanane Whitfield

This guy measures in at 18” x 24” and, like all of Tanane’s paintings, is stretched canvas over plywood, just to give it a bit of structure. His technique though is what catches me; a full grayscale painting with washes of color over top and some details to fill it out. Pretty clever, eh? But, really, isn’t it funny how even bad moments can bring with them a bright spot of creativity? Be sure to click on the image for a more detailed view. Great stuff Tanane!!

Stay tuned for next week’s Spotlight!

Aftershow Wrap Up!

By glitchgallery | Published: April 18, 2012

Wow! Another great artist and another great gallery turnout! Thanks again for making the night a blast Tanane! And thanks to all of you who came out and supported our little soiree!

There was a steady flow of people in and out all night and it didn’t take long before people were itchin for Tanane’s work on their walls at home! You can check it out yourself, as everything is now online and viewable. But you’d rather come in and see the work in person while it’s here for the next three months, right??

In other news, Glitch gallery is picking up steam with each successful show and it doesn’t look like we’re gonna be stopping anytime soon. Look forward to all the new news and events to come!

Tanane Whitfield Show

By glitchgallery | Published: March 15, 2012

It’s coming, that great big crazy artistic force that is Tanane Whitfield is here and will be displaying his work tonight at 7:00!! Now, normally, we wouldn’t fret about someone being a bit touched in the head in a place like Glitch Gallery, but that’s not really the case with Tanane. This guy is totally insane, and I’m not talking about his personality!! Can Glitch Gallery contain such huge talent?? Well come out tonight, April 15th and find out yourself!! Personally though, when you see the stuff he makes, you’ve gotta ask yourself whether or not drawing a helmet with lightbulbs all over it surrounded by Lovecraft-esque tentacles comes from some deep and murky part of his sub-conscience…or from personal experience?

Oh! And be sure to click the picture to see a larger version or go over to his Facebook page to see even more of his work!!

“Olive Island” by Scott Olive

By glitchgallery | Published: February 21, 2012

Sooo.. I sat here for quite a bit going over and over and over in my head a description for this piece… As I stare at the illustration it just amazes me.. I see more and more detail and concepts as to the story behind this piece, but it would only be deriving out of MY imagination.. certainly not Scott Olive’s. So I’m just gonna leave it alone, show you the image, and let you come up with your own storyline of what is going on… SCOTT OLIVE!!! YOU ARE ONE OF A KIND, MY FRIEND!! I LOVE IT!!
