Brian was born in Detroit MI where he was influenced by urban art work at a very early age. This had influenced his work to this date. “When I first saw graffiti and urban art work in Detroit I never even thought it was done by real people, there was always this mystery and magic behind the work. It was cool to just see images that were not there yesterday just pop up out of nowhere.” Brian’s art work can be seen everywhere from NY, L.A., Miami, and in group show across the U.S. Brian describes his work best in his own words- “Fun, imaginative, and whimsical but, with a touch of the dark side that hides within.” Brian is currently pursuing a degree in graphic arts and is an active member of Jacksonville’s emerging arts community and founder of the Jacksonville lowbrow artist run blog, www.TheOuterBox.com.

i must say, this stuff is great. where do you get inspiration for such great work?

Thanks Adam. To answer your question I guess my mind is screwed up basicly..LOL. I live in Detroit most of my child hood. Grew up around a lof of urban art, graffiti, tagging, stuff like that. Then I moved to Florida that is consumed with Disney World, Tourist, sunshine, and beaches. I guess I took the two and melded them together. Half graffiti and a little on the rough/dark side mixed with the whimsical world of Disney and illustrations.

Love it.

I like the neon color on the "Embrace" image.
Maybe you could try to use more eye-pop neon colors?

Please give me feedback on my pieces in my reader submission post from last week "Reader Are Submission - Devon Maloy".

Thanks,
Devon

Thanks for the feedback Devon. Your work is prety damn solid. I dig it.

Finally finished this weeks weekly painting( sorry for the kinda blurry image). The painting is a throw back to the good ol bunny character I do from time to time. I haven’t painted “just” the bunny character in a while so, I thought I would pull him out from under the bed to play for a while. The title of this piece is “Love Lost”, it is painted on 8×10 canvas board, acrylic paints, and signed and dated by me. As what I have been doing with my weekly paintings, I have posted this up for bidding on eBay.com to go to the highest offer. Bidding starts at just 10.00 and the auction is only gonna last for 3 days. I usually let these auctions go for 5 days but with it being so close to next week I wanted to end this auction by Sunday at 10pm. Check it out and happy bidding!-B.G.

Thanks for the feedback Nori....ill be posting up some new work soon over at www.bgrayart.com. :D

I kind of want to see these as shirts and posters. Very pop, very printable, very nice.

hey brain I think these piece's are totally brilliant. these works are very engaging and create a lasting impact. Thankz for the inspiration and the moods...

@ Roy Sproule- Hey Roy, Thanks. This past weekend I actualy started working on some screen prints on shirts. Kind of ironic you just mentioned it. I have done some posters in the past, now Im just doing digital prints of my work through my website. Really want to get into some more one off prints in the very near future....along with some clothing designs that Im working on now. Thanks for the feedback.

@ Evelio Faze- Thank a lot Evelio. Glad to help inspire soemone out there and thanks for the kind words, I apreciate it! ;D


- On a side note- Im working on some silk screened shirts right now. I havent worked with screen printing in like 10yrs so its been a while. Ill try and post up some pics of what i did. I printed with just a screen, a hand cut stencil, and a lot of patience. It turned out prety good, in my opinion. Ill post pics soon or just swing on by www.bgrayart.com some time later this week and Im sure Ill have some stuff up. Would really like some feedback about my screen prints so, ill keep eveyone posted. Thanks everyone who has stopped by my site, bought some prints, checked out my work, emailed me, etc.etc.etc. Thanks folks- You guys/gals are awesome and defenitly help push me to do more and stop screwin around. LOL-B.G.  :-*

Awesome.

A new Brian Gray clothing line might be a bit of a stretch...or is it? All I can say for sure is Ive been screwing around with some screen printing ideas for a while and am really starting to take it serious. This is really my first attempt at doing any type of screen print onto clothing. I actually didnt go the photo emulsion route...instead I just did things old school and hand cut a stencil and fixed it to my screen. Pain in the but for sure but, I always enjoy working with the exacto blade in hand. I think my next attempt is gonna be with drawing fluid and screen filler. Eventualy Ill lead up to emulsion but, for now this will do nicely. I think it turned out pretty good...for a first time experience. Last time I did anything like this was in high school( some 14yrs ago). Theres a lot Im learning from friends, fellow artists, and through my own trial and errors. I really want to get into some more clothing design, if ya cant tell. I have a few things cooking on the burner for me to get serious about printing a lot more work on tee shirts. With my style of work, it just makes sense that I get more involved in screen printing. Keep them eyes peeled....Im on the move. Feedback is always welcome...even though I dont really have much to show as far as clothing goes yet. Im out-

Whats up peeps! Brian Gray here! Just posted up my new piece as part of my weekly( more like bi-weekly) paintings for eBay. The piece I did here is on 9×12, heavy weight, bristol paper and looks great. I call it “SiLeNcE”. I have only worked with water colors a few times and I had a lot of fun just experimenting with this one. For the most part the painting is all water color. You can also see paint pen, pencil, and a little bit of acrylic paint. I just had fun playing around with different mediums. The auction on eBay will run for the next five days and bidding starts off at the usual 9.00. Here is the link to the auction. Check it out!-

haha! love it.

old rich people looking at my art work....always fascinates me...and they just dont get it. They usually prefer something with flowers,landscapes,or something painted in turquoise,brown,and cream. :-\

Heres a snazzy pic of the piece I did for the “Totem if ya Got Em” show that went down at Bogda Gallery this past weekend. Im going to have prints available by the end of the week. The painting is 9×12, acrylic, on gallery wrapped canvas. It’s still up for sale for just $100.00 at Bogda. If anyone is interested in making a purchase just drop me a line and we can arrange something. The show was a great success and I gotta hand it to my man Jack Diablo for organizing a great show and a good time had by all. Thanks to Joy at Bogda for letting us artists use the gallery to host these shows. We couldnt do these shows without her! Hollah!-B Gray

Thanks Juxtapoz for adding me to the Reader Art section of the site. I am honored and really happy about being part of the Reader Arts section. Ive been a big fan of Juxtapoz over the past 4years or so. Your magazine has inspired so many lowbrow and underground artists to come out of hiding and make there work known, and Im defenitly one of those artists. Thanks Juxtapoz!!  ;D

I have put up a total of 9 paintings up for grabs on eBay. I have kept the opening bids on all of these pieces very,very, low compared to what these paintings would cost via my website or in a gallery setting. Why am I selling off my original paintings so low? Well, it's a new year and I need to get out with the old to bring in the new. Plus I need some start-up money to begin screen printing! This will give me the extra income necessary to buy all the supplies I need to get things going. If you have ever bought some of my work now would be a great time to buy a painting from me. This is a really good deal on some of my original paintings. I will also be posting up 3 more paintings on Monday to add to the list. This is a win/win situation...Im selling some originals at a low starting price to all my peeps and from the sales I can begin diving into some serious screen printing. Anyhow...heres the link. Thanks for checking it out...B.Gray
