Announcing ArtWorks, a benefit for Arts Gowanus
As many of you are aware, my studio is located in the Brooklyn Industrial neighborhood Gowanus, named after the infamous creek/canal called Gowanus (once upon a time it was a salt marsh estuary/creek, but it has been a rather filthy industrial canal for at least the past 150 years). We have a vibrant community of artists…

New Etsy listings are up tonight!
I’ve added several pieces to my “Figureworks” collection in my Etsy store: works featuring the human form. First up is an interesting painting I created mid-2010 (it seems like yesterday) titled “Lovesick Android.” Lovesick Android was composed with acrylic paint on wood panel.

The newly redesigned website is now live!
I’ve been very busy over the last couple of weeks with a complete redesign of my website. I decided to get back to basics and code the site myself. Admittedly this was a chore, but I think the results were worth the effort. My principal concern with this iteration of the website was to make…

New items for sale through Etsy
I’ve been busy over the past month preparing items for sale in my Etsy store. If you haven’t checked out the “ZephyrusArts” store yet, now’s a good time to do it. I typically offer smaller, more affordable works on paper on Etsy. Many of my smaller figurative (male nudes, almost invariably) pieces appear here, and…

Hello world! (and welcome to the Eye of the Artist)
Welcome to my new blog, “Eye of the Artist | John Azelvandre Art Notes“. This blog succeeds and essentially replaces my old blogger blog “Hominy Grits,” which had served me so well for over 11 years. There were certain limitations with that blog and the best solution for me is a new start for a…
