Jen Ferguson’s smallest Brooklyn Bridge painting at Urban Folk Art Gallery

The smallest Brooklyn Bridge painting I’ve ever made is on exhibit at the 3rd Annual Brooklyn Bridge Birthday Celebration, opening this Friday May 25th at Urban Folk Gallery in Cobble Hill Brooklyn. It’s  6 x 8″ and titled “Brooklyn Moonlight.” I’m also exhibiting a framed print of another Brooklyn Bridge painting. If you’re interested in owning this painting, or seeing it and other great Brooklyn Bridge art by local artists, come by the show or contact me personally. I highly recommend going to the opening; Adam Suerte, proprieter of Urban Folk Art Gallery, always throws a great party! Here are the details:

Blue Ribbon Sushi Izakaya Art by Jen Ferguson featured on TRIP CITY!

I wrote a little piece for TRIP CITY about the process of creating new sushi sign art for Blue Ribbon Sushi Izakaya and featuring all 13 pieces of art; you can read it HERE~

Art for the New Blue Ribbon Sushi Izakaya

I made a visit to the new Blue Ribbon Izakaya in the Thompson Hotel on Orchard Street NYC to check out the new sushi signs I painted, which you can see hanging above the bar in these photos. There will be another post soon showing all the sketches and finished art in detail so you can have a closer look. I was honored to contribute to this beautiful space and hope you all get a chance to go there sometime and eat delicious sushi!

Open All Night; Dog Art and Mysterious Titles

Here is a  little watercolor I sold recently; Somehow the title seemed right, although a bit mysterious. Perhaps you’ll have your own interpretation. Enjoy!

Metrollpolis and the Bridge Troll

The newest page of Metrollpolis is up at TRIP CITY! Higgles and Hootyboot continue their adventure and come across a charming bridge troll. Read it here!

Don’t you wonder what a “muroot” is and looks like?

Here’s the newest page from my serialized epic post-Victorian novel “Metrollpolis” introducing Mumbo the obstreperous mushrooming piglet. You can view the work fully, including the beginning, at TRIP CITY.

What is a Tortuga to you?

This is one of my newer paintings, which for lack of a better description is figurative-abstract; I’ve been developing a series of new paintings and pushing forward- as always, never sure where it will lead, but hopeful about the possibilities. For years I’ve worked on small compositional ideas in my notebooks, and thought it was time to test them out in larger scale.

“Tortuga” is a small piece, 12 x 12″. Although I try never to impose any specific ideas about what the painting is about, I’ll tell  you this much:  this composition started to remind me of a giant turtle in the desert, which in turn reminded me of a grim scene in the show “Breaking Bad.”
