Great illustration by TheGrossUncle. I like the use of colours and the effect of acrylic and ink on board is excellent.

KAWS

April 2, 2009 by ryanmacpherson

KAWS

KAWS, aka Brian Donelly, is the man responsible for such work as Kanye West’s 808’s and Heartbreaks album cover artwork as well as boasting an extensive toy range, paintings that sell in excess of $150,000, and shoes for Mark Jacobs, to name a few. It seems he’s been making a huge mark on the world, literally, and I have to say his style has really grown on me. I think he’s changing the way people see art, especially how he speaks to a younger demographic with his cartoon iconography and figurines.  I can’t see myself shelling out for his merchandise any time soon, however something like this would certainly ad some colour to my walls.

Cut and Paste

Great poster for the 2009 Cut and Paste event in London. I like the non-digital look, especially concidering this competition is based on using a tablet to construct a design in a 15 minute time frame. For more information click here.

Absolutely amazing branding and packaging for 3 Beat Records by Matt Keers. Helvetica, lots of white space, and three transparent coloured shapes, so simple but so damn nice. All his stuff is brilliant.

Vintage anatomical illustrations with a twist. A lot of this style is popping a lot on ffffound lately and I really like what I see! I wish I knew who the artist was! For now I’ll have to label the as cool illustrations.

Back to the Future

I watched Back to the Future for the fist time in 13 years on the weekend, and I couldn’t help but notice the shoe’s (Hyperdunks) Marty McFly (Michael J Fox) was given when he goes to the future. As it turns out, they do in fact exist in 2009. Presented by Kobe Bryant, in the Delorean they came out July 2008 at around $1000 a pair. I think if you’re after some now you’ll need either a lot of money or a time machine!

Mt Dew Green Label + Chuck Anderson

The flavour of Mt Dew just went up a few notches. They’ve put out a new series limited edition Green Label series bottles featuring a collaboration of various wicked artists including Chick Anderson- one of the ‘coolest’ out there in my book, known for his amazing use of light and colour for example…

Not only is Mt Dew changing it’s image up, the Pepsi brand has branched to music, launching a virtual record label dedicated to digital singles Green Label Sound. I think it’s a really cool idea and the Chicago hip-hop group Cool Kids are a sign of more good things to come.

You don’t have to look very far until you come across a blog featuring Obama these days! I’ve seen a LOT of really amazing contributions to the campaign but I think this is my favourite by far and couldn’t help myself.

I found this on Notcot.

Micro Machines

January 21, 2009 by ryanmacpherson

It takes a little while to believe that these amazing tilt shift videos of Keith Loutit’s are real. One would be forgiven for thinking this was a stop frame animation of micro machines! I’d never heard of this cool technique until I found some of Loutit’s work on Vimeo. There are some more fantastic examples in HD here. Enjoy!
