What makes your body tick?  What are the inner workings?  From the wild imagination of artist Scott C, we are excited to offer the Body House tee!  Red blood cells ride rollercoasters, lungs playing a game of Simon, kidneys tooting trumpets...and even a few ninjas sneaking in the back window.  The new shirt is now available here

We're cranking out even more Moonshine Artist Spotlights to lead you into the closing reception/book signing on Friday, September 3rd. Today, we're highlighting Nathan Fowkes' impressive body of work. Nathan has served as a background artist on films, such as The Prince of Egypt, The Road to El Dorado, How to Train Your Dragon, and Shrek Forever After.



Nathan has immersed himself in a variety of media, from charcoal to acrylic to digital, oftentimes revealing his artistic processes on his blog. His charcoal sketches in particular have a lovely, ethereal Gibson Girl quality to them. Be sure to check them out in person before the Moonshine exhibit ends on September 6th!



And if you're ever looking to brush up on your figure drawing skills, Nathan also leads classes and workshops at the Los Angeles Academy of Figurative Art.

One hundred twenty years ago, Howard Phillips Lovecraft was born in Providence, Rhode Island.  Lovecraft is considered by many to be one of the most influential twentieth century writers of the classic horror tale.  The basis of Lovecraft's work relies on the fear of the unknown or incomprehensible.  His work has been praised by many modern talents such as Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, HR Giger, and Guillermo Del Toro.

Nucleus is presenting an exhibit tributing the writings of Lovecraft set to open October 16.  Among the contributors are Justin Sweet, Jon Foster, Android Jones, Michael Zulli, and Jeremy Enecio.  Learn more about the exhibit here
