Do you know the negativity surrounding the number 4 in Chinese culture? This #sneakpeek contains the unlucky numeral! Come to the opening of Superstitions (with brand new work by @diannehoffmanart and myself) to figure out more of the story! 😜 #superstitions #chinesetradition #number4 #death #tombstone #graveyard #sweep #josspaper
I couldn’t make a Superstitions series without including an umbrella! Tonight’s #sneakpeek is based around Bulgarian Superstitions. I’ve always grown up with the notion that opening an umbrella indoors is bad luck, but do you know the origin of this belief? Come to the opening on Friday the 13th @artattacksf for Superstitions, a dual exhibition with assemblage artist @diannehoffmanart ...

I’ve just about destroyed one of my favorite brushes. Sigh. Old faithful, it’s just about time to put you down. Sorry bud. #brushes #round #roundbrush #oil #painting #artistproblems
#Repost @diannehoffmanart is today’s FEATURED ARTIST on my page here! I’m going to start sharing and reposting other artist’s work that makes sense on my page. Not only is Dianne a good friend, but she’s also my show mate for our upcoming duo exhibit “Superstitions” and this piece is one of my new favorites. It totally creeps me out and I love it! You know what they say about itchy palms? #areyousuperstitious #darkartsociety #featuredartist ・・・ Another #WIP #assemblage for the #Superstitions duo show with @shaneizykowski opening at @artattacksf on #fridaythe13th of July! This one is about #itchypalms. Title pending. More to come!! #superstitionssf #assemblageart #foundobjectart #bringingsuperstitionstolife #sfartist #assemblageartist #sfartshow
Photographs have been a part of superstitious lore for quite some time. Something that captures your likeness is bound to have consequences. Do we want to risk finding out what those consequences are? In Romanian superstition, three people in a photograph means terrible things... for the one in the center. #wip #workinprogress #romaniansuperstitions Come check out Superstitions: Dianne Hoffman & Shane Izykowski to figure out the whole story. Opening July 13th, only at Art Attack SF. #superstitions #areyousuperstitious #oilpainting #originalart #darkart #darkartsociety #horror #lore #photographs #stealingthesoul
Really excited to be finished with this new piece for my “Superstitions” series. Originally I had wanted these to be three separate pieces, sold as such, but decided they would make a better piece of sold altogether, of course. Lots of detail and texture made this one particularly challenging. I’m not great at “implying” detail so that’s something I’ll have to work on. I have a rule with my art that after I sign it, that’s it... there’s no going back and fixing anything. It’s a habit that has saved me from going crazy and never finishing pieces. I’ll have some better quality photos of this soon! I’d really love for you to come see this in person at @diannehoffmanart and my show opening on #fridaythe13th in July at @artattacksf !!! #sanfrancisco #ouijaboard #darkartsociety #darkart #bat #ostrichegg #blackcat #areyousuperstitious
I have some strange painting habits. 😜 I guess when people ask me about my process, I’ll have to respond, “By any means necessary!” Working hard to get these paintings done for the #Superstitions show @artattacksf opening #fridaythe13th in July, with amazing #assemblage artist @diannehoffmanart ... #tellusyoursuperstitions #strangehabits #painting #oilpainting #canvas
