Ronald Rael – Border Wall as Infrastructure

Rael San Fratello WPA 2.0 Presentation from Rael San Fratello

This presentation exemplifies the basic but very integral thinking that all of us should aim to accomplish in every project we commit to. It’s kind of outstanding to see such giant opportunities missed in such a large undertaking and how a seemingly simplified solution can be so valuable. I haven’t had much of a chance to look into the rest of the work that RAEL SAN FRATELLO ARCHITECTS has done but don’t doubt its in the same mode of thinking.

Here is a direct link to the page on Rael San Fratello.

A Look Behind “US” Album Artwork


I don’t think there is anything more interesting than getting a peek at someone’s process or catching a glimpse at something that may have never been seen otherwise. Keith has given us a taste of both. Ironically, my mild curiosity for the album has been escalated due to this particular sneak peek and brought my appreciation for the work BLK SWAN did on this, up a notch or two. Glorious indeed.

Highspeed Rail in the US of A

Paul Rogers

I honestly never thought I’d see or potentially ride a highspeed rail in the US but from the sounds of this article and so many similar ones popping up lately, we have a strong chance of this becoming reality. I must also admit that hearing that Florida (of all places) would be one of the first to receive said trains and that Texas would follow there after. What does make me smile on the inside, is how many people are not only behind such plans for tracks to be laid across the US, but how much momentum these plans are gaining thanks to the Obama administration. Undoubtedly, this will be one of the most important and crucial periods of American development in our lifetime.

ARTCRANK 2010

ARTCRANK 2010
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.

Legwork Reel

Legwork Reel
Legwork Studio has been whoopin aces since their somewhat recent start a year or so back. Just today they announced their progress over that period of time and to no surprise, they have acquired two new partners and updated their site with a firey hot new motion reel. These gentlemen are no doubt a great addition to the swelling Denver creative community.

The Next Chapter

As you may or may not know, one of the foundational elements to the Denver creative community recently closed its doors. For 6 years The Fabric Lab had been throwing fashion related events and art shows while continuously inspiring others to go out and do it for themselves. Their DIY mentality was a driving force for not only Celeste and I but the hundreds of others that would come to each and every show or event.

But alas, this is not the end, but the beginning of the next chapter in Josh & Tran’s creative scurge on the sub-cultural crevices of Denver’s nether-regions. The Shoppe (their cupcake & cereal cafe) is going strong and there are a plethora of other plots, plans and schemes in the works, soon to reveal themselves to the masses.

New Work on Designisfine™

Designisfine
Celeste has been hard at work on her scheme/ hustle. She’s recently added some delicious new projects to the mix as well as gave the site a tiny facelift. Make sure to check her out on Flickr for most tasty treats.

Harvest at Jimmy’s

harvestI recently managed to grab a well-deserved day off and head over to Suffolk UK to check out ‘Harvest at Jimmy’s‘ a new boutique food and music festival combo. The sun shone, the music played and, (not that I’m condoning anything) far too much of the locally brewed cider was drunk. With some great festival branding from Form, Harvest at Jimmy’s is definitely a mark on my next year’s calendar. A few shots from the day can be found here.

ARTCRANK 2009

artcrank site
I am happy to announce that the ARTCRANK 2009 site just went live! I’ve been working with Charles quite a bit dialing this year’s identity and getting the site hooked up with all sorts of nifty functionality (big ups to Aaron for making magic!). One of the biggest objectives was to give Charles the ability to add and edit content when and where needed but also provide a fairly rigid set of parameters to keep all of the dynamic content consistent and pretty. The site is run with Wordpress and uses both, Twitter and Flickr’s APIs to pull content dynamically from Charles’ accounts. i.e. He adds images to Flickr or Tweets, the site reflects the changes without ever having to touch it. Yeh!

Check out the artcrankpostershow.com to get event details on both, the Minneapolis and Denver shows.

Wouldn’t it be fancy if…

Wouldn’t it be fancy if I had time to post some cool news about some other guy who was doing really radical stuff in a far, far away place making lots of money being cool…? Well, until then, check out the delightful write up on Sevnthsin over at Rake Magazine.

Lifter Baron’s Sunday Best

So I thought I would try something a little different today. Instead of posting one or two long and probably under informative entries, I will do only one big post highlighting a list of things that caught my eye this morning. Thus, leaving the information seeking portion to you and letting the viewers decide what content is exciting. So take a second, look through the content and search your little hearts out. Enjoy.

Crush Bible
A book cover can really change your opinion on the reading material. Crush Agency, out of the UK, makes me think twice about diving into a book of such controversial proportions through a simple but effective cover redesign. Via FormFiftyFive

The Apartment NYC
The Apartment, an interior design group out of NYC, converted an old YMCA into a nasty (good nasty) 5 bedroom apartment building. Pretty rad. Via DesignYouTrust

Diplo X Radiohead
Radiohead takes another “new age” step in marketing and releases all of the instrumental elements from the track, Reckoner, to the public. Diplo does official remix to launch the effort. Fans and musicians get to pitch in and make their own remixes. Via Booooooom!

Radical Cartography
An interesting look into some of the statistics and American demographic research compiled by Bill. Great content, sexy site. Via ffffound

Terry Richardson X Barack Obama
Terry Richardson knows how to take a good flick or two. Here is what happens when you out him in a room with Barack Obama and put a Vibe budget behind it. Old news, but still pretty refreshing. Via Hypebeast

Simone Legno on Karmaloop TV

I know, I know, videos… I’m not usually all on the video tip, but I’ve been coming across a lot of awesome interviews on Karmaloop TV and felt I’d pass along what I could. This one is a quick bit about Toki Doki creator / designer, Simone Legno. It’s kind of interesting to hear what these business owners have to say about their own lines and products. I feel like listening to these interviews really serves as a way to bring us back to the foundation of the artform and helps shed some light on the industry as a whole, plus I’m kind of an info geek, so listening to people tell their stories is rad to me and keeps me motivated, hopefully it can do the same for you. Enjoy!

ffffound

My ffffound account
So after reading the Changethethought™ blog today, I realized I hadn’t visited my ffffound account in a while. I love ffffound, it’s great. It’s actually so great that whenever I go there I seem to spend a couple hours trailing around looking for awesome new pics and grand sources of additional inspiration. If you ever have a few hours to burn, check it out. There is a really cool RSS feed for it too.
