Online store - activated.

In response to a lot of inquiry at DragonCon about purchasing my art online, I have activated the CHUKART Zazzle store. I believe I will have to order myself a Kali phone case. :O

CHUKART Store!

Limited Edition Typhon Poster

I still have 20 or so Typhon posters left from the DragonCon run. They are 20" x 26" limited edition (50), signed, 3 color hand screen prints on heavy duty French's construction paper. I'm putting them up on the Etsy store or you can contact me directly at chukart22@gmail.com.

Posters can be purchased here at my Etsy shop.

DragonCon - 2012

Had a great time running my CHUKART booth at DragonCon. Saw a great many impressive and unbelievable costumes, terrified strangers and their children, scared a busload of Korean Stewardesses...

Above all that however, I met some people that appreciated my art and what I am trying to convey and accomplish. That is it - the goal - the THING - the reason I do it at all. Those sublime moments of seeing my art communicate with people, that's where the magick lies.

Thanks to everyone who came out and visited and especially those who bought pieces. It is much appreciated and I hope you enjoy them.

If anyone wanted anything I ran out of, feel free to email me and we can definitely work something out. I'd be glad to take payment via square or paypal and send you something via mail. I talked to a few people about doing some specific commissioned reproductions (like large Kali with acrylic gel gloss brushover) and I'd be glad to produce and send those. chukart22@gmail.com

DragonCon Approaches

I've been working hard getting prepared for the quickly approaching DragonCon on Labor Day weekend (sept 1). Its amazing how much you can accomplish when you demand of yourself a minimum of 1-2 hours a day toward a specific goal. It seems like so little time, but it assuredly adds up.

This year I will have 7 large works in the Gallery Exhibition available for bidding. I will also be running a bazaar table. At the table I will be selling prints, framed work, hand screen printed posters, skull bows, hamsa pins, and various other items.

This is just the white layer of the poster, they will ultimately be 3 color hand screen printed on high quality french's construction paper.

Now just to finish my costume... so much sewing. So much glue.

Envisioning The Gods - Part I - Typhon

I am constantly almost in a state of ritual practice. By that I mean, there are so many required objects and steps of preparation, that I always find something I "must first do" before beginning.

In that area, I have decided to produce a series of images of the God Forms. I also have an interest in producing some limited color screen printed art as I have a few friends who possess the necessary equipment. So it begins, with TYPHON.

Note this is the image of the God Form one is to Astrally assume, not the sign one is to make in the invocation of it.

Artlantis - 2012

Artlantis was a success again this year! Great weather (aside from Typhon trying to blow my tent away all day) good turn out and sold a lot of art to a lot of enthusiastic people. Thanks to all those who came by the booth. Can't wait to do it again next year...

Nude In Transition

From CHUK Art - Print Gallery

"You" are not a static object. You are an observable, mutable, temporary, constantly changing series of interdependent systems and associated forms. There is nothing to be done but to experience the rhythmic shifting of the universe washing over and through the moment you know as "you".

Artlantis - Saturday June 2nd

ARTLANTIS Arts and Music Festival is this weekend, Saturday June 2nd! If you're interested in experiencing the Atlanta art scene, the weather on Saturday is supposed to be a pleasant 81 degrees (as opposed to last years' sun-surface heat). So come on out and see some art and listen to some bands. I'll be showing some new pieces and selling prints of my more popular work. I'll be selling preframed, mixed media, print-based custom pieces for as low as 50$; as well as large wraparound stretched canvas prints. So, come on out and support Atlanta's art community.

The Sleeper

"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!"

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Sakura Leah

Leah and I had our first anniversary yesterday. This piece "SakuraLeah" is one I painted as a gift for her birthday. It incorporates some of her preferred symbolic imagery.

Its been an adventurous year. Here's to many more.

Art Available - The Lotus of Life and Death

‎"All the world is the dream of Brahama, and when Brahama awakens, the dream concludes."

I've had alot of interest in my latest piece "The Lotus of Life and Death". It represents 70 hours of work over the past 6 months and is the first piece I've done that I feel begins to capture my perspective on universal reality in metaphoric form.

The work is available as a large 18x24 canvas print (200$) or a 12x16 card stock print (60$). Both are coated in a durable hand-applied epoxy finish and are framed. Anyone interested in ordering one should contact me at chukart22@gmail.com. Thank you, your patronage is appreciated.

It is complete. Finally.

The inscription on the back of each print reads:

"All the world is the dream of Brahmana, and when Brahmana awakens, the dream concludes."
