¡AUTUMN SOCIETY MEXICO IS HERE!

WWW.AUTUMNSOCIETYMEXICO.COM

It is with great pleasure that I present to you AUTUMN SOCIETY MEXICO, led by the mega-talented and good friend, German Orozco. Autumn Society Mexico is a dream come true and stands as a true testament that anything is possible through teamwork and group effort. 

I would like to thank Sam Heimer for naming and starting the Autumn Society group all the way back in 2005, Anita Mejía for being our first artist and member from Mexico, Jorsh Peña, Rosario Ruiz for all the support and for inspiring the creation of the group, Manuel Hidlago & Héctor Hernández for their support and for helping create the Autumn Society Mexico's logo (Jorsh Peña & Anita Mejía also contributed in creating the logo), and German Orozco for his friendship and determination in making this group into a reality. I look forward to seeing this group blossom and see what they do with their massively talented arsenal of artists!

NEW GALLERY! PHANTOM HAND // Inaugural Show!

Friends,

Hope you're all well. If you haven't heard it through the grape-vine yet, a group of Autumn Society members, PCS members, and yours truly have organized, extensively brain-stormed, applied, and finally received a gallery space from the Arts on South program.

It's with great pleasure that I announce the opening of PHANTOM HAND at 604 South Street. We're kicking off a 4 exhibition run hosting the Philadelphia Cartoonist Society's Out to Dry 3, a show including sketchbook pages, limited edition prints, and framed work. The opening reception is December 23rd, 6:00 PM. This show is cash and carry, so if you need some extremely last minute christmas gifts, why not give art? Stop by and check out the new space, art from some familiar faces, and have a beer on me.

Dead and Dreaming CLOSING RECEPTION THIS FRIDAY

Friends,

This friday marks the closing of Dead and Dreaming at Paradigm Gallery. If you missed the opening reception, mosey on down to the closing reception Friday night starting at 6:00 PM, 2020 South Street. I can easily say with pride this is one of the tightest shows I've ever seen and you really don't want to miss it... but if you do, the catalog was collected in a sexy book (see below) along with artist preliminary work.

Dead and Dreaming book NOW AVAILABLE!

Hello Autumn Society-ers,

Eamon here to give you guys a look at a piece I am submitting for the upcoming H.P. Lovecraft themed show at Proximity gallery in Philadelphia, for which the promo card was posted for previously in this space. I think some more work could go into the crowd color wise, but I had a blast drawing this puppy.

There is a more extensive post about it over at my blog if you would care to look. Happy Labor day all!

DEAD & DREAMING...

( Coming Soon )

He (by H.P.Lovecraft, for Dead and Dreaming).

burntobuild.blogspot.com

Good morning eldritch, creeping friends! Here's my newest labor of love, and addition to the wonderful collection of art being put together by the endlessly talented, unnameably productive Sam Heimer for his newest show Dead and Dreaming, a modern take on illustrating the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

My foray into the Lovecraftian was based on the uber-short story 'He', about an aged NY magician showing a lurky artist the future of things to come with spells stolen from the native peoples of New York. I chose to leave out the space head-dresses, which, sadly, is not a joke.

Hope you enjoy!

Here's my piece for Sam Heimer's Dead and Dreaming show. I did a portrait of Wilbur Whateley from The Dunwich Horror. So far all the work I've seen for this show is amazing! Can't wait for the book!

The Worship of Dagon

Digital file for a 2 color screen print. This is my piece for the "Dead and Dreaming" Lovecraft Show at Paradigm gallery this fall. Curated by the talented and macabre Sam Heimer.

And the inks alooooonnnne...

Bu-bu-but why are these inks in 2 colors?

Good question! Read THIS POST for the answer.

DEAD & DREAMING FUNDRAISER (Buy an exclusive shirt from Sam Heimer)

Autumn Society founder / Elder, Sam Heimer is raising funds for the upcoming Autumn Society: H.P. Lovecraft tribute show, titled "Dead & Dreaming."

Sam is curating the show with a top selection of Autumn Society artists & other guests. A unique element from this event is that there will be a book collecting all of the artwork featured in the show. You can support this event & Sam's initiative by purchasing one of Sam's T-shirts above (click here or on the image for more info).

PSA

Friends,
Most of you do this already, but I highly recommend putting web-site and contact information in the closing of your blog posts on this site. Perusing the analytics for my portfolio site and blogs, I noticed that the bulk of my views are people who saw my work on Illustration sites I contribute to, or are re-blogged on frequently, but have to google my name because there is no clear contact information. This blog gets a lot of foot-traffic and helping people find you with ease is a valuable thing.

Best,
Catfish Heimer

The Autumn Society - OUT OF CONTROL!

It's pretty amazing that our first art show was in April of 2009 @ Brave New Worlds Comics.

And now here we are, almost two years later with over 20 art shows, events, publications, and exclusives under our belt!

None of this could of been possible without the support, love, and inspiration of many Autumn Society members, enthusiasts, and followers.

We invite you to celebrate these accomplishments with us by checking out our recently updated ART SHOWS, EVENTS, PUBLICATIONS, & EXCLUSIVES sections.

Thank-you for all the victories and for helping us set a standard among art collectives worldwide.

More to come!
