Hi-tech audio/visual production from Beeple. All audio & video by one dude, in his free time over the course of 10 months. Very impressive. He’s got loads of great video, audio, 3d and illustration work, including the beautiful & thought-provoking Subprime piece.

I’ve caught this piece one other time on the internets and didn’t find out who was behind its masterful origins, until today, when it popped up on the Guerilla Garden blog. Always a sucker for a good time lapse vid.
Great work from Filthe at the Guerilla Garden space in Denver.

Project Hello is an idea/event that has been manifested to provide a platform for Denver creatives to get together and rub elbows, slap skins, talk shop, and gather inspiration while exposing their work among peers. The event will also help foster and provide context for the community at large to unite, build, and shape a supportive artistic community in Denver. Project Hello will run for one day and will be curated in a “festival or salon” like setting at the TAXI building on May 1, 2010.
Less than two weeks away – Submission Deadline is March 1, 2010 to be considered for exhibition inclusion. Creatives of all shapes & sizes in various stages of artistic career & development are encouraged to submit. There are a few guidelines for submission, all interested should send the required info and content to projecthellodenver[at]gmail.com.
Matt Scobey just wrapped up an insightful interview with the gals behind Project Hello Sandra Fettingis & Louise Martorano which has been posted on the PH site for viewing pleasure. Sandra and Lisa shed some light on what you can expect from both submitting to and attending the event. The Project Hello crew has also worked up a Facebook page to keep us all in the know.
Cheers to Sandra, Lisa, and everyone else involved in helping bring this event to life…. I’ll be participating and look forward to seeing some radness and meeting some shiny new souls on May 1st!

There is something familiar yet refreshing about Matthew Lyons work… I’m really digging the resurgence of the hand crafted fuzzed out feel that seems to be working it’s way through a lot of art & design being pushed out these days. It’s rad to see the textures and character reworked and reinterpreted with modern day technology/techniques. Matthew’s work is an exemplary of what I’m trying to touch on… each piece is stylized, unique, and suggestive… using no more than is needed to get across the point… streamlining each piece letting the personality and emotion shine through.

Josh Holland is one of the BEST illustrators I know. His imagination never ceases to amaze… which might sound like a cliche, but really. I have no idea how he can blow an idea out so well and make it look entirely effortless (of course its not). I’m also sort of in love with his blog, mainly for all of the sketches and process oriented things he posts. Love it.
This piece is for an upcoming PBR show this Saturday in Denver at Illiterate & Indy Ink.
Check out Josh’s blog, follow him on Twitter and stalk him on FB if you care to.

The artist line up and location for ARTCRANK 2010 have been announced for the Minneapolis event. After talking to Charles on and off over the past few months it sounds like this year is going to be a huge step up in a couple of ways. One of the most definitive of those will be in the location of the opening night. This year ARTCRANK will be held at Shelter Studios in NE Minneapolis with about 3 times the original capacity. We’ll be seeing a slew of new faces in the show this time around as well (see below). I’m sure chiseling the list down to a reasonable size was an eronious task all by itself.
Artists include: Aaron Pumort • Aaron Shekey • Adam Brackney • Adam Turman • Aesthetic Apparatus • Allan Peters • Amy Campbell • Amy Jo • Angel Bomb • Andy Skoglund • Anthem Heart • Ben Levitz • Bjorn Christianson • Brian Hartley Sago • Briana Auel • Broken Crow • Chelsea Brink • DWITT • Elizabeth Mullen • Erik Anthony Hamline • Gregory Hubacek • Jennifer Davis • Jessica Hall Burns • Johnny Slocum • Joseph Duffy • Katherine Lamm • Kelly Munson • Lovely Mpls • Lure Design • Maranatha Wilson • Paul Gardner • Rob Angermuller • Ross Bruggink • Scott Agrimson • Scott Neff • Spencer Haugh • Tara Costello • Tonja Torgerson • Zara Gonzalez
Opening Night Party: Saturday, April 10
7:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m.

I’ve been waiting to catch one of Tonja’s shows since I’ve moved to Minneapolis and finally…voila. Sick opens at XYandZ on Friday, January 22nd 7PM.
“Sick includes five life-sized self-portraits on paper. These paintings analyze the altering identity of a young woman learning to live with a permanent illness. Sick presents the personal side of what is becoming an ever-increasingly political issue through a girlish lens of soft aesthetic and sad whimsy. These paintings focus on the revision of self that accompanies illness. In addition, the exhibition consists of several smaller screen prints and works of mixed media. Sick creates an engaging fusion of feminism, craft, printmaking and street-art.”

After a period of considerable debate and frustration, I present to you, a sneak peek of my pieces for Duplicate of a Duplicate coming up next week at Black Sheep in NC. I’m probably making it all sound way worse than it was, but being so used to doing brief based work and having a finite solution to most of the projects I have, I struggled a bit trying to pump these out. I have a bad habit of redoing drawings and fiddling with colorways way too much for these sorts of art projects, plus I’m always trying to one up myself for some damn reason… BUT I think I’ve finally gotten a good grasp on an aesthetic I like and a good process with this set, that I’ll be able to work and evolve from here on out!
Duplicate of a Duplicate is January 15th at Black Sheep in Charlotte, NC. Participating artists/illustrators/designers include: 123Klan, Adam Garcia, Mr Penfold, Black Marmalade, Matt Cipov, Neuarmy, Big Foot, Jon Contino, Dave Franzese and a handful more talented people…
Stay posted for pics and additional information. If you are in NC and can make it to this show, please hit me back with any photos and / or glorious stories about the event.

First, I think its awesome that this is a video from the article section on Playboy. Had no Idea they were stepping their content game up. Nice move! Second, I think this video is very telling of the modern street artist’s dogma and way of life. To me, it’s a HUGE fuckin joke to think that these people would serve any prison time let alone as much as they sometimes do. Time and time again, I hear stories about kids getting 5+ years for this stuff. Yeah, you can say they live in terrible places like Texas — where you get more time for writing your name on a wall than selling drugs — but I mean, seriously!? This is an odd custom, humans and it’s even more strange that you think throwing a person in jail will make them “learn their lesson” Nope, they just came out unable to participate in society and now they steal shit and sell drugs and beat old women for fun. I’m exaggerating to some minimal measure, but I think you get the point.
On a positive tip, this guy is getting after his “thing” with supreme dedication, like all of us should with whatever we do. That alone, is far more uplifting and inspiring than most of what I read on the electro-webs everyday. Maybe that’s my whole interest in graffiti to start? Self reliance and dedication equals responsibility. Sounds like a good thing to me. Food for thought.

From the sounds of those I know that made it to the show and the photos I’ve seen, it appears to have done really well. Make sure to swing by the Bordo Bello site for photos and additional information about this past event. Thank you again Elysia and AIGA Colorado for the opportunity to be involved.

Swing by the Super Block and soak in some of those good vibes and treat yourself to the gift of art.
