Number 43.

Here’s another 100 Drawings for you, so close to getting halfway done!

When I first started the 100 Drawings project just over a year ago, I thought it would be an easy and fun exercise to keep myself drawing and painting. Little did I know I’d soon be grinding away on a big solo show that would take up almost all of my free time to work. So, this simple undertaking seems to have fallen into a bit of disrepair. Drawings are started and then abandoend to the pile. On top of that, with all of the acrylic painting work, drawing seems to be pushed aside for painting, which only makes the drawings take longer. Lately, I’ve been able to work on several paintings/drawings at once, and more of these seem to be nearing completion.

Enough excuses, here’s the next one for your viewing and purchasing pleasure. Enjoy!

Drawing number four…

by ncwinters on October 27, 2010

…only 96 to go!

So it seems like I just keep adding more projects to work on every week, making my already stretched too thin time that much more skint. A little late, here’s the fourth drawing out of my goal of 100. My plan originally was a couple a week, but now it looks like I should just shoot for one a week. Let’s hear it for lowered expectations! I’d rather keep it to one a week rather than drop the quality, but we’ll see how much time I end up having. As usual, swing by the store for purchase info.

Meanwhile, if you haven’t swung over to NoodleKnobs yet, swing on over. We’re starting to get into a rhythym with our new alt-parenting site that hopefully offers more than the average “my baby is great, ain’t parenting wonderful?” Mommy and Daddy blog. Enjoy!

For immediate release!

by ncwinters on September 2, 2010

…Damages opens in less than two weeks!

The show is almost here, and I thought you deserved the full blown press release. Plus, here’s another teaser image for the show. See you there!

***

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

New paintings by N.C. Winters
September 10th – October 10th, 2010
Opening Reception with the Artist:
Friday, September 10th, 2010 6–10PM

About the Show: Damages is Winters’ first solo exhibition with Subtext, in which he has created a collection of paintings that interpret the feelings of disrepair, sacrifice and loss wrapped in N.C.’s definitive style. The vibrant colors, raw textures, and enchanting characters found in his work introduces his unique point of view that often incorporates the juxtaposition of disparate themes in a very graphic, yet highly illustrative approach. On view at 2479 Kettner Blvd from September 10th-October 10th, 2010, this will be Winters’ first solo show in San Diego.

About N.C. Winters: A child of the 80s, fueled by cartoons, MTV, and illustration, N.C. Winters is a painter and illustrator. He’s spent most of his life under a blazing sun, first in Phoenix and now in southern California, and it shows in the brilliant colors and rich tones of his work. Focusing mostly on the  figure—both its delicate beauty and abrasive toughness—he works in a variety of media, including watercolor, acrylic, and plain old pen and ink on paper. Some people say his work reminds them of tattoos; others say he fits in with skateboard and surf culture. But N.C. is just trying to let the pictures in his head out into the world and figure out what he wants to do when he grows up. He currently lives and works in Carlsbad, CA.
More of Winters’ work can be found at www.ncwinters.com.

About Subtext Gallery: Subtext is a gallery & bookstore located on the outskirts of downtown San Diego that showcases urban contemporary, pop surrealist, and lowbrow artists from all around the globe. Born in September 2006, Subtext took aim on San Diego’s under-served design market. After repeated trips to cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, partners Don Hollis and Dylan Jones wanted to bring some more eclectic sources of creative inspiration a little closer to home. With an inventory truly connected to all things design, Subtext aptly fills the void. As a one stop shop for design, art, architecture, photography and illustration, Subtext provides an environment dedicated to high design intended to nourish creative spirits for years to come.
