As we told you about last week, Tim Doyle’s Unreal Estate III is coming to the SpokeArt gallery this week. And today, we are very excited to show the complete set of gallery prints that will be on display at the show, later to be available online with various glow variants.
So, screw all our words, just take a look:
Now, as I said: these things go fast. I’m talking “you’ll have the print in your cart and click ‘pay’ and get a message it sold out in between the time it took you to move the mouse to the ‘pay’ button” fast. So if you’re interested, set up an account now on Spoke Art’s website and get your PayPal ready as well. Otherwise you’re likely to miss out.
For more details or to RSVP to the gallery opening, you can head on over to the Facebook e-vite page. If you’d like to see some examples of the past two years of “UnReal Estates,” take a look here. To see Tim’s thoughts on the various prints and why he chose the scenes that he did, check out Nakatomi’s blog.

SpokeArt Press Release
Spoke Art is proud to welcome back represented artist Tim Doyle for his third solo exhibition with the gallery and the latest installment in his ongoing “UnReal Estate” series.
Inspired by the popular culture landscape, quite literally, Doyle re-interprets the iconic settings found in contemporary cult television. These places, though fictional, have become a part of the universal psyche, ingrained in the minds of cartoon and serialized television fans worldwide. The prevalence in contemporary culture of this medium, especially with the excesses of the internet, have transformed fictional characters and scenes into something so close to tangible that they’re immediately recognizable even when viewed through an alternate lens.
The artist begins first with a graphite drawing on board, which is scanned and colored digitally. From there, Doyle hand prints a run of limited edition serigraphs (screen prints) which he creates entirely in-house. As an artist known not just for his illustrative talents but also as a craftsman, Doyle’s screen prints often utilize masterful techniques such as split fountains and glow in the dark inks.
Since it’s debut in 2011, the “UnReal Estate” series has been a massive success, with both back to back shows selling out in full. For the third installment in the ongoing survey, Doyle has created all new interpretations of locations from both classic and contemporary television, revisiting popular shows and breaking new ground with more topical and current series.
Limited edition prints will be available first to attendees of the February 6th opening reception, with remaining copies available online starting Friday, February 7th.
This exhibition will be on view until February 22nd.
