Sometimes it’s nice to work with a fucking pro. It just makes your life easier. There’s no hand holding. No primadonna whining. No. Headaches.
I recently had the pleasure of working on a quick-turnaround-low-budget-conceptually-limited project that required the skills of an illustrator to see the concept through to completion. Lucky for me, I got to work with a fucking pro.
Thanks, Adam. Next time, Immuna make like Kenny Effin P and throw you a fast ball right down the middle so you can really hit for the bleachers.
The great dudes behind Hoppy Press had a genius idea. Why not create quality art for homebrewers? There are only so many homebrew kits you can buy your brother-in-law, right?
More info, pics and screenprinting process picks after the jump!

Absolutely frantic illustrations in pen by Mr. Robert Hardgrave. Most badass name ever? Probably. Unless you know a Mr. Murderkillsharkpuncher. You don’t.

Giulia Ruffatti is an Italian artist creating pieces of wearable history, or more simply, jewelry about you. If you have a certain memory, passion, dream or identifiable trait, Ruffatti (with the help of several people now that her business has grown) will select and create a variety of bobbles, creatures, symbols and materials to create a necklace, bracelet or even a compass to represent her customer. Oh, and she’ll pair each piece with an original poem that further describes you, the wearer.
On the surface, if I hadn’t seen the actual pieces, this description alone might make me cringe and think of patchouli. That may just be because I’m a fairly cynical, judgemental beotch. However, I’m also incredibly self-absorbed and the idea that someone could make a piece of loudly over-sized jewelry that would describe my deepest desires and nightmares for all to see around my neck – well that made me look.

Damn. I love this piece from Julia Pott.
We went to one of my favorite places in the world this weekend, Mass Moca, to see Girl Walk // All Day play on the big screen out in the courtyard and under the stars. That all sounds wonderful I’m sure, but nothing compares to how actually wonderful, uplifting and exciting it really was that night.
You’ll have to watch the movie (you can see the whole thing on the website, buy the DVD or come to 3S Artspace in Portsmouth where they’ll be showing it on a huge, inflatable big screen to close out the tour in September) to get the full effect of what kind of all-consuming happiness it fills your soul with – but here are a few pics I snapped at the DANCE PARTY that happened after the screening. That’s right. Dance party. If you watch this movie, there is NO WAY YOU WILL NOT WANT TO GET UP AND DANCE.

Beautifully brutal steel and concrete sculptures by Fabrice Le Nezet for a series called Measure. Love the coupling of bright, splashy colors and heavy, dull concrete.

Axel von Friesen and Petter Törnqvist make up the Swedish design studio 1:2:3. Their projects range from video to books to paintings (as evidenced by the beautiful one pictured above). Spend some time on their site to get the full effect.

In doing some research for an environmental design project recently, I found Daniel Arsham’s work by way of Kristy’s post here on the greatness. Daniel recently started “a collaborative practice operating in territories between the disciplines of art and architecture… Snarkitecture aims to make architecture perform the unexpected.” It’s awesome to see installation artists crossing not just the line between function & form, but also the line between art & commerce.
