paintings by Maya Hayuk
I’ve been diggin on the art work of Maya Hayuk recently. Her kaleidoscopic / day-glow / geometric / handmade/ abstractness is really doing it for me, right about now. You might have seen her work on the front of Mollusk NYC, which shares a building with her studio. Incidentally, they call the building Monster Island. Fecal Face has a great interview with Maya, from Feb’08 and Etsy just put out a video feature on Maya’s work as well. I was poking around her site when I ran into her photography, it turns out she’s an accomplished photographer as well. Peep these shots from a brazilian mag called Trip of the Beastie Boys, amazing!

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).
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.
Oliver Vernon has a crazy mashup 3d painting style. He manages to crowd references to several opposing schools of painting all into one canvas. [via It's Nice That]
Stina Persson’s watercolor illustrations are beautiful. I love the 60’s french fashion vibe. $800 a print, wow. [via ffffound!]
Reed Danziger has some gorgeous paintings. I love the abstract textures and little touches. His work definitely has a passing analog/digital discourse with the work of Joshua Davis. The difference being that Danzinger creates his compositions by hand, whereas Davis uses programming to create his. [via Art/Moco]
