I'm Very excited- I have some beautiful new work coming up for sale in the next few weeks, and 2 new series which will become available- but only for sale at my ehibitions.

I have 2 new galleries interested in exhinting my work- and one of them will be in Sydney, the Other in Chelsea, NYC. I will update closer to the dates of the shows- the Sydney one will be for 4 weeks and I will have 10 works on show- I can't wait! I have a few contacts in Sydney including my sister - I hope she'll be in town and not off in Hawaii as she usually is that time of year :)

I have a new aquisition-a personally signed book from Nick Cave- "To Sej, Love Nick Cave".

I can't wait for his next Australian Tour with the Bad Seeds.... I miss them.

Watermarking of My work- Exhibitions and News!!!

Some of you may have noticed recent changes to my listing format, in particular the inclusion of a watermark on my photos in my ebay listings.

While I really hate the appearance of watermarks on artworks, it is unfortunately something I have had to start doing due to a large number of art theft and copyright breaches.

Meanwhile, a further note on my previous blog regarding represntation by a New York Gallery- yes this is going ahead- I have the all clear, and it will be around September that I can give you all the details. I am thrilled to say the least! I cannot give any further details as the gallery has a strict publicity policy as it is very prominent and respected, and people generally have to pay a LOT to have their work critiqued/advertised by this gallery.


As a consequence I will be commanding a much higher price from my work, as a reflection of my position and growing recognition in the art world, and the increased investment value of my work.

Here's a photo of one of my smaller works, on exhibition recently, at the Steps Gallery, Lygon St, Carlton. It was featured in the "2008 Annual Collector's Exhibition"

'Transient Lanscape- Connectivity' By Sej 2008. All Rights Reserved.

I am pleased to say that my painting now has a home in a permanent collection in Melbourne!

I've been working on a new series- well, a couple of new series actually- keeping things fresh and turning the page. I ahve also been revisiting some of my former styles from back on 2005- however on much larger scale and of course an improved vision and bigger statement.


I painted a nude today, has been a while and will be starting to sell more of those once I get a new strore format created! :)
I have to save for some other big thing which is coming up later in the year... lets say it involves a massive makeover and huge potential for growth!
Well... time to jump in the shower... am colouring my hair and it's about done!

Au revoir

New York representation and more!!!

Greetings!


First of all, I have the pleasure to announce that a prominant New York art gallery has so kindly accepted my proposals, and are offering to represent me- I am not quite ready to divulge the name of this gallery as yet- but rest assured once I am officially part of the collection, I will let you know!!! I am so excited and really can't wait as they have in mind a 3 week exhibition for me to showcase my art- I really am beside myself :) The exposure is going to be ENORMOUS!

_______________________________

In other news, I have just concluded another exhibition- this time I participated in a group show at the Steps Gallery in Carlton, Melbourne! I was there for 2 weeks and my friend Sandra was kind enough to act as my agent as far as delivery and collection of my art- Thanks Sandra!

______________________________________

Anyway, I will be very busy over the next few weeks/months- have some serious matters to attend to but I've always got new paintings listed in my ebay store... go check them out!


bye for now...

Recent breach of copyright/copyright violations

***BREACH OF COPYRIGHT***
Warning: There have been a number of identified cases of copyright violations against my work, fraudulent copies of my art being reproduced and sold on ebay.

These offenders are dealt with accordingly- I have been successful in having artwork which breaches my copyright successfully removed via ebay's VERO programme.
Buyers:
Please be sure your work is an original Sej. All of my artwork is sold directly from my ebay store, and ALWAYS has the sej signature within the listing. Copycat and reproduction art is sold in a different store, without my signature present in the listing, and is significantly cheaper in price- namely because this is poor qulaity and imitation art.
Please only buy my original art because it has investment value, and these other sellers are not authorised to copy or redistribute my art, and buying from them means you are supporting the black market, and buying something of poor quality and of no real value.
If you are in doubt about the authenticity of an artwork, please contact me via my personal email: sej@night-thought.com and I will verify whether it is indeed my art.
COPYCAT ARTISTS AND VIOLATORS OF COPYRIGHT:
I have so far been successful in removing paintings from four sellers on ebay (nationally AND internationally), who have violated my copyrights. If you are considering stealing my images, reproducing, or re-selling then think twice. You will be caught out, and you will pay the consequences.
I WILL ALWAYS SEEK LEGAL ACTION OVER ANY BREACH OF COPYRIGHT

Tuesday, May 6th 2008...

just caught another 11 rip-offs today, that's right ELEVEN!

EVERY one of them has been reported to ebay and will be removed. I will then be taking legal action and seeking damages. Keep them coming...

I actually went through 90 individual pages today to find those eleven rip-offs of my art. I quite enjoy the challenge and at the end of the day, it will be more money in my pocket when I get my compensation. It's weird too.. I mean my art is being reproduced by these scammers alongside the great painters like Van gogh, gaugin, Matisse even Rothko... I guess it shows I'm doing something right!

MAJOR events!

Well, I have submitted my art into another two major art shows!

I will fill you in on the details once I get more info closer to the selection dates :)
Fingers crossed!

Also, coming up in May I hope to be showing at a prominant Melbourne Gallery. More updates closer to the date!

Phewwww! it was a mad rush to get my submissions in the other day as the closing date was this Monday- so I hope my documents get there in time :)

In other news- My painting "Transient Landscape"
http://red-lights.deviantart.com/art/Transient-Landscape-76719861
has now crept up into number 7 position of ALL time most popular abstract paintings on DeviantArt. That's 7 out of thousands of abstract paintings! I am well chuffed :)
