NORTH HOLLYWOOD Calif. -- Timothy McAlevey has originateed a new art publishing company called ARTCEPS, which focuses forward emerging California artists. The company's first catalog edition is now available.

"One of the main reasons I started this company was because athwart the last 10 years I have seen an onslaught of hand-painted artwork coming from the Asian market, selling for high prices, with no intrinsic collectable value," said McAlevey. "We have to such a degree many talented artists working in California who are excited about the possibility of having their work seen and appreciated."

The artists featured in ARTCEPS' first-edition catalog are William Blackman, Marina and Chris Cavette, Valeries Gruzen Claire Ouimet, Dreama Tolle Perry John Robertson, Taffy Sandow, Richard Schlos Seraphine, Fredrick Spurgeon and Pam Wall. "Each of the artists included in this initial catalog has have sexual delight withed success at the gallery on a level and at art shows, unless never had their pieces been seen through a wider audience," said McAlevey.

In addition to representing these 12 previously unpublished artists, ARTCEPS is also offering rarely seen works from the Pre-Raphaelite/ Victorian era with the cooperation of the Mike Kelley Gallery in Pasadena, Calif. Artists in this collection include John William Waterhouse, Fredrich Stuart meeting-house and Victor Gilbert.

McAlevey has also accumulated examples of late 1800 Western art by the agency of masters such as Charles Marion Russell, Joseph Henry Sharp, Olaf Carl Seltzer and Charles Craig.

"These artists are extremely important, and having an opportunity to publish images not seen before is an exciting part of my first catalog," said McAlevey.

Each reproduction is printed forward canvas with archival inks and sheltered with a UV coating. each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity.

The company's first catalog is focused forward traditional artwork, while the other edition, to be released in the spring of 2004 will contain contemporary expose matter.
