Art of the Pride is an art project featuring the art of Suzanne Unrein. Unrein is working on pieces based on the work of animal behaviorist Kevin Richardson. The artist went South Africa to paint the day to day work of Richardson with lions. Unrein's studio is now covered in works of lions and hyenas--both with Richardson and on their own.

The aim of the project is to raise awareness of the plight of wild lions--and funds to help saving them. You may have seen the viral videos of Richardson with lions floating around the internet.

These preliminary works are sketches on primed paper---following this Unrein moves into using paint and different color combinations. Following this she decides which works will be used as the basis for larger works. You can see and read more HERE.

44 Flood's "Tome 2-Melancholia" Kickstarter Funds In One Day

44 Flood is a fairly new publisher of art books etc based in Chicago. They feature work by artists such as Menton 3, Ben Templesmith, Christopher Ulrich, David Stoupakis and literally dozens of other artists--in every medium from paint to song to food to design etcetera.

Their new project, Tome 2-Melancholia, funded at Kickstarter in less than 24 hours (and has current pledges of over $36,000).

The first Tome book was a magnificent work with an ever expanding group of artists (as the project garnered more financial support). Like that project this one features music, art prints and the Tome 2 book (plus a companion book, Explicitus Ex Liber 2).
Let them explain the details HERE.
At this point the project is funded but as it progresses (there is a month and a half left) you can be sure more will be added to the project. If you purchase via a Kickstarter pledge you will also save money on the price of the book. Many of the prints and extras in the Kickstarter will be available only via Kickstarter pledges.

Another reason why crowdfunding is so great despite the fact that it has become something for angry hipsters to sneer at (go wax your ridiculous mustaches and iron your ironic t-shirts).
