Josh Keyes: Distinctly Fascinating

Memorable, creative, and well executed.

I was going to post this guy awhile backbut I guess I didn't,... at least I don't think I have

Presidential Death Match Posters

I love these screen printed posters by Kevin Bradley.

Vector Park: Addictive Curiosities

I can't remember if I've posted about this place yet, but I scoped it out a few years back and enjoyed it. I checked it out more recently and noticed he has added a few other "games". If you have some time on your hands you should defiantly explore these. I don't know exactly how to describe what vector park is providing, its a unique type of interactivity/story telling/puzzle game/animation/aesthetic modern artwork. Be sure and try out the links under your four choices of "games" as well. The artist I believe is named Patrick Smith, and he does some of the most interesting vector flash work I've seen yet.

Knitted Animation

Here's a new tedious method of animation. When I first saw this my mind was boggled that someone had knitted each frame, but upon further investigation I realized it was machine-knitted frames. But its still impressive, and nice they didn't resort to a computer simulation of knitting. I love seeing new methods of animation. Reminded of Michel Gondry's amazing work.

I think it would have been neat to show the actual knitting happening as part of the animation at some point.

MISKA KNAPEK: 24 hour photographs

This concept is fairly simple, but I would have never thought of it. Read about how he creates these time-lapse single shots on his site. Also visit his flickr for more work.

Print Design: Fun if the Project is Right

I had forgotten how fun Print Design can be if the client is right. I did these business cards last night for a friend opening his own barber shop. I refused to use any clipart or stock illustration, so I did all the illustrations. I think it gives off a kinda fun vintage/traditional/garbage-pale-kids-card kinda vibe. After looking at it again today, I still need to tweak a few things.

Pinstriping : Steady and Smooth

I'm doing some work for a friend that references a lot of the styles, namely Hotrod Culture, Rockabilly, Pulp Art, and Punk Rock. I've always been impressed by the steady hands and graceful skill of pin-strippers. I stumbled upon this video while I was looking for references.

Bansky's Pet Shop

I thought Bansky was just a gutsy clever graffiti artist. I didn't take him as diverse as he actually is. His pet store exhibit is pretty original and memorable. I have to hand it to him. He's a deeper artist than I had thought. A creative man indeed.

Here's a collection of VIDEOS of the exhibit

Tom Haubrick: Tattoo Artist/Illustrator

I read about this guy in HIFRUCTOSE magazine this month.(Great Magazine by the way) Most of the works on his website aren't a very good indication of his depth. For some reason all his male characters never have a face on his site. But the article I read had illustrations of plenty of male mugs. His line quality and amount of detail is similar to what I hope to achieve with my style. Seeing his work made me realize how non-productive I've been. Now that I've finally got internet at my new apt, hopefully I'll start submitting more work.
