I found Louis Doulas on the internetzzz this week and thought I would share some art and info from him but I cant find a damn thing on my man! So I guess we can just let his work speak for itself! Also check out his flicker account here

Bask - Hope Again!

From Juxtapoz-
Looks like we’re getting a new President sworn in soon. Yep, Washington DC will be abuzz with Inauguration excitement next week (well, even more than it already is!) As part of the global exaltation over the election of Obama as the next United States President, The Manifest Hope: DC exhibit will hold a special 3-day only shwing of Obama-inspired artwork.
Participating artist Bask shared his new piece with us, stating, “I was invited to participate in the show because of my pre-election painting I created, titled Change We Need,” Bask wrote us. “Since this piece had been purchased and was no longer available, the organizers of Manifest Hope asked me if I would create a newly inspired painting.” So he did and we dig it. Titled Announcing Hope Again, we’re now hoping that change really is on its way.
The Manifest Hope: DC Gallery will be on view January 17 – 19, 2009 during the Presidential Inauguration in Washington, DC. More info at www.manifesthope.com

Scott Teplin

Scott Teplin is an illustrator living in New York City. He also updates his blog Future Trash once a week with a new drawing! I think his blog is amazing because it gives you an insider look into his drawings, as he posts them at different levels of completion. The drawing above has been posted in 8 different forms of completion.

What I am most interested in however is his Alphaville series! The installation has actually closed but that doesnt mean we cant enjoy some fantabulous digital images now does it? Click on the link for a slide show of the entire alphabet! And here are some sneak peeks at his other work! There are gonna be alot because this stuff is amazing so lets get to it!

Jonathan Puckey

Jonathan Puckey is a designer based in Amsterdam. He is only described on his website by the images that he has tagged on http://del.icio.us/sjinsj which happen to be design, programming, javascript, video, reference, webdesign, web, typography, css, music, tool, graphicdesign.....blah blah blah. I became aware of Jonathan Puckey from Kanyeeezy's blog about Jonathan's project the the delaunay raster which is the image above!

Puckey has also been very successful in digitally rendering in other forms, one that particularly interests me in his form of felt tip rendering like the portrait below. Might not look like much now but take a few steps back from the computer monitor, Wizzo! Oh what do we have here? I think I see modern art!(inside joke!)



here are a few more of his pieces from a few years ago, very interesting stuff and make sure to check out his website here HOWEVER THIS COMES WITH A DISCLAIMER: THE DELAUNAY RASTER PORTION OF HIS SITE CRASHED FIREFOX THREE TIMES SO EXPLORE WITH CAUTION AND BTW ITS COMPLETELY WORTH IT!!!






some word art, perhaps?

Craaaaaaaazzzzyyyy!!!!

SO....I will be the first to admit I am waaaaaaay late on this! But the Violent Femmes asked Gnarles Barkley, as payment for them Gnarles Barkley covering their song, to cover "Crazy". You can get it on phat light blue vinyl here

See!



Ok! now that I have promoted the crap out of this lets talk about the song a little! Well.....actually Gnarles Barkley pretty much sums it up here:

"I might compare it to a calm pond. I caught my reflection in it. And I seemed to be momentarily at peace. This track sounds entirely different in the rain, and supports some intriguing lilypads." - GNARLES BARKLEY

Violent Femmes - Crazy(Gnarls Barkley)

Swedes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me and the wife recently watched "Be Kind Rewind" a masterful film by Michel Gondry, which stars Jack Black and Mos Def. In the film the characters are forced to recreated movies when people request them. What a "fantab" idea! So we looked up some on the internet(you know it has everything, after all!!) And I would like to share with you my favorite "Sweded" versions of some films. Here we go!

"Back to the Future"

"The Shining"
