Here’s a great little video made by FlyLo and the gang featuring Leigh J. McCloskey, the painter and “visual philosopher” who created the artwork for Flying Lotus’s chart topping album Cosmogramma on Warp Records.

We got an email from artist Josh Evans last week showcasing some of his digital illustrations. Josh recently graduated from ArtCenter in Pasadena with honors – which automatically gets mad props in my book. He also “enjoys homemade ferments, pickles, sauerkraut, and playing the banjo and accordion” – all valid pursuits. Check out a few more pieces of this Angeleno’s work after the jump: Continue reading…
I love artist/sculpture AJ Fosik’s wild wooden beasts. Each creature is made with regular plywood and found materials that are carefully cut, painted, and assembled by AJ in an improvised construction. He says that he doesn’t even sketch out or plan his builds anymore – he just goes. That’s crazy! Check out a few videos of AJ and his work after the jump: Continue reading…
For my husband… because he cleaned the whole apartment on Saturday and because there was a yummy yummy dinner waiting for me when I got home from work today. You rock, babe.

Check out this amazing Ink Calendar by London-based designer Oscar Diaz! The paper slowly absorbs the ink, one date at a time.
From Oscar’s website:
“The ink is absorbed slowly, and the numbers in the calendar are ‘printed’ daily. One a day, they are filled with ink until the end of the month. A calendar self-updated, which enhances the perception of time passing and not only signaling it.”
Amazing, huh? You can check out more of Oscar’s work here.

I’ve always admired Kevin Cyr’s photorealistic paintings of automobiles covered in graffiti, rust, and general urban grime. The above Hausman print went on sale on 20×200 today and it looks like they are movin’ pretty quick – so jump on it if you want get your twinkie on. Check out more of Kevin’s work after the jump: Continue reading…
Remember when you were a freshman in high school and the seniors were soooo much cooler, had cars, better class schedules, and were generally everything your twitchy little freshman butt wasn’t? Well, consider Kitsune Noir as part of the class of 2010 with a serious case of senioritis, while Grizzly Bear Modern is still trying to remember its locker combination.
KN is a big inspiration for GBM – I even used some of KN’s CSS/HTML in building this blog. Bobby’s weekly Desktop Wallpaper Project has been providing my computers with wallpapers for years now. The supremely talented artists and designers that Bobby procures for this project never cease to amaze me. But I think the real feathers in Bobby’s hat are his collaborations, and most recently his co-curation of Los Angeles, I’m Yours, the local art and craft exhibition with Poketo at Space15Twenty in Hollywood. This eclectic mix of found objects and artistic creations was just amazing – and everything was for sale and most of the stuff was really reasonably priced. The show runs until May 15th, so if you’re in the area I highly suggest you check it out and say hi. Enough with the love fest – let’s see some pics yo!
Romeu Silveira of From Brazil, With Love is an amazing artist who creates digital collages from high fashion magazines. There’s a ton of energy exuding from the artwork. Some of the pieces are really dense, but I prefer the more geometric and simplified pieces. You really do need to check out the collages in whole here to get a feel for what From Brazil, With Love is all about. See more samples of Romeu’s work after the jump:
Artist/sculptor Derick Melander stacks secondhand clothing to build monolithic works of art that are not only amazing objects, but shed light on our rampant consumer culture and the waste each new fashion season inevitably brings. See more of Derick’s work after the cut.
My favorite sister-in-law Corrie emailed me this bear print this morning. It’s by Philipp Zurmoehle and you can get it here for only $25, or $35 if you want the bigger version. I just love the bear’s expression… he looks a little disgruntled… or maybe embarrassed? I’m not sure, I’m not that great at reading bears’ facial expressions. In any case it’s a great one to add to the growing pile of prints that we don’t have frames for. Like our Sharon Montrose goat. It KILLS me that it’s not up on our walls. Frames, why must you be so expensive?!?!
