Fecal Face always comes with the goods, I was rummaging around their website and ran into a studio visit with Lee, Barneclo, Plock, Tunstall. FF gets into the studios of these 4 artists and sees what they’re cooking up. Amazing shit! and really inspiring. Tons of good photos of upcoming work. I’m especially digging the playing card-inspired series from Plock and Tunstall, towards the bottom of the page, it’s up in the Upper Haight Stussy store in SF. Relatedly: Believe it or not, I am completely tattoo free, but I’d take one of these ‘King of Hearts’ on surfboard as a tattoo, any day of the week (or at least for a killer board graphic).
Sean Finocchio produces gorgeous city-life inspired digital photos on canvas. The above image from his liquor store collection on Supermarket. nice.
Supermarket is pretty cool. a well-designed website for buying well-designed things from people just like you and me. apparel, jewelry, furniture, photos, paintings, etc… sorta like etsy. [via SM]
Brian Piana has some gorgeous ‘net inspired color bar art over at SpillSomePaint.com. Great concepts and aesthetics. My favorite: The Rise to Power of Tom Delay. [via kottke]
Jeff Canham has some really wicked art/design/painting/signage. He’s the guy behind the Mollusk store signage and the art-director for Surfer mag from 2000 to 2005. I especially dig his art series, paintings on plywood.
These hand-painted signs appear all over our corner of Mexico. They mostly advertise traveling Banda bands (think polka with heavy latin brass and rhythm sections) that are coming to the area. These signs change monthly and sometimes weekly. Palenques (cock fights) are also advertised as well. They’re always colorful, sometimes well done, other times totally sloppy and rough (those must be the monday morning ones). I’m beginning a series on these signs and since I started the project I’ve been religiously vigilant for news ones, new styles and old favorites.
Mexico is an endless landscape of hand-painted folk typography, I’m really gonna miss it in 10 years when everything is hastily designed and printed on cheap vinyl.
I’m really liking the art-as-commerce stuff going on over at Keep Calm. [via PoppyTalk]
