Just wanted to let folks know that the Chet Zar Forum is now back in effect. I have had this forum for a few years now but I have neglected it in the last couple.

My friend Federico helping me out attending to the forum's needs, so all questions will be answered. There is also a new exclusive content section where you can check out works in progress and other behind the scenes pics if you join up (for free, of course). You can also post artwork, promote your band, talk art or whatever to other Chet Zar fans. Check it out:

I am overwhelmed by the huge number of supportive messages and comments concerning the situation with my dog, Rambo. Thank you everybody. Your support has really helped my family and I through this difficult time.

Rambo died today. He was 12 years old and was recently diagnosed with cancer. I am very sad to see him go but happy that he is no longer suffering. He was truly the best dog I have ever had and we are going to miss him.

We adopted Rambo (his name from his previous owner that really didn't fit his sweet disposition) from a 24 hour pet adoption event put on by a local organization called For the Love of Animals Dog & Cat Rescue (I will be forever grateful for the great work they do for animals and for bringing Rambo and us together. Thanks go out  to Jo and Bailey Porter) He was a 7 year old Pit Bull mix and had been at the animal shelter for 6 months, so if he did not get adopted that night, he would have been put to sleep. Luckily for us, my older son Jeremy talked us into adopting him. It turned out to be on of the best decisions of our lives. Contrary to the reputations Pit Bulls have, Rambo was one of the most gentle and sweet dogs I have ever had and we really considered him a part of our family.

So that's the low down on Rambo. Thanks from my family and I to everybody for your kindness and support. 

I miss him already.

Myspace friend Sara sent me this cute little monster eater. She makes 'em herself. I love my cute little monster eater. You can get your own here. Thanks, Sara!

Hello,

To celebrate my recent purchase of a new and larger format Giclee printer, I have added 5 new prints available in my webstore. All are printed on archival, thick 100% cotton rag, acid free Velvet Fine Art Paper using the same archival inkset. Each print is a Limited Edition and signed and numbered.

As always, my Giclee print prices are extremely reasonable. Many publishers offer similar print runs for more than 3 times the price, yet I am using the same printers, paper, inks and process. How do I do it? I print them myself! Why do I do it this way? To make art affordable!

So here they are:

"Black" is back by popular demand. This is the largest size of "Black Magick" I have ever offered on my webstore.



"Black Magick- Special Collectors Edition"

Here is a brand new edition of a piece that I have had many requests for. The "I Want You" Special Collectors Edition print is extra large and definitely imposing.
