Sweet Obsession

Thought ya’ll might be interested in the delectable creations that I uncovered while doing some research for a design piece we’re working on. Check out these cakes:

Even cookies for Obama fans!

A Phoenix Menagerie

Just a few great examples of re-use art from Chicago-based Jessica Joslin. She assembles her creatures from antique hardware, bones, and whatever else she happens upon. This show, Clockwork Circus, opens tonight at Billy Shire Fine Arts gallery in Los Angeles.

And, you can find her book here.

Andy Kehoe

I’m not certain that I “get” all of Andy Kehoe's meaning, but I definitely find myself approaching his work with the curious intrigue and careful consideration of an anthropolgist. This Pittsburg-based artist's sensibilities for graphic narrative, icon, pattern and color represent a refreshing generation of folk art. Each piece is like a modern day fable, rooted in both tradition and invention—feeling in the same moment familiar, yet new. Kehoe has a sense of humor and a sense of self, producing pictographs that are as light and as heavy as life itself, all the while beautiful.












You can find affordable prints in his etsy shop.

Imagining the Tenth Dimension - Rob Bryanton

This information may save your life (if you accidentally find yourself in the wrong dimension).




This video proves my hypothesis...that composers/sound designers (thanks for the correction Mr. Bryanton) are just as obsessive as graphic designers.

Three Cheers for Adam Elliot

Here's just a couple of Austrailian Academy Award-winner Adam Elliot's brilliantly tender tales of mishappen family members. The animation style, the story, and the narration align perfectly to deliver simple and candid characters, in all their exquisite quirkiness. No doubt, you'll want to adopt each one . . . but you'll have to get behind me.
