It seems like we post about infamous NYC graf tagger Love Me on a weekly basis. And it’s not just because we’re friends with him. It’s because we like his tag, and we’ve seen it evolve over the last few years into little scrawlings and stickers to huge building sides and artwork in shows. Here’s a middle of the line piece grabbing the attention of some passerbyers in NYC. Nice job, Curtis!
I stumbled into the photographic images this morning while checking out the site BOOOOOOOM. They reminded me a lot of the state of Michigan and some real issues that are affecting the country these days. The color and subjects he chose are very interesting. If you like what you see below then be sure to check up Peter’s site.
Enjoy.
Just a quick update for all those Lounge owners out there: These cats at Bond Harrington know how to do custom wallpaper right. I wish i had my walls in my office looking so fresh, but then where would i move the LP pagination wall?
Wooster Collective spotted this new image from Anthony Lister in Brooklyn. Featuring Lister’s signature style, this piece goes along great with the building it’s put on, using the window and everything as part of the piece. And, for those of you not hip to the works of Anthony Lister, you can check out more of his work here.
NOTCOT.org posted a really sweet idea done by Fabrica in Italy. It’s called Exquisite Clock, and it’s basically an “art clock” that presents numbers uploaded by anyone who wants to be a part of it. Exquisite Clock is being presented at Decode: Digital Sensations exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London from 8 December 2009 to 11 April 2010 along with works by Daniel Rozin, Jonathan Harris, Golan Levin, Daniel Brown, John Maeda, Troika and many others. (In case you won’t be in London any time soon, you can also view it online.) In this period, all numbers uploaded to the website or collected using the iPhone application will be displayed in the gallery installation in realtime. You can help make time as seconds go by. It’s cool to see how inventive some people are with how they make their numbers. Definitely check it out.
At least 85% of the people i know have broken, shredded, bashed-up skate decks just laying around. Artist Haroshi (Harvest) creates a series of playful artworks making use of old skateboards and broken decks.
Haroshi states, “Skate decks eventually see its life shortened by snapping, cracking and/or wearing out. Purchasing new decks is a never ending cycle and this was evident by the tower of old decks that were reaching to the ceiling of my room. We can’t throw away these decks because they hold sentimental meanings to us. I looked at these unusable decks every day and thought there must be something I can make with these.
I decided to make some accessories with the old decks and this was the birth of Harvest. The works of Harvest are through the perspectives of a skater and as an artist. As a skater, I want to take responsibility of reusing skateboards when they were no longer useable. Also, as an artist I want to explore the possibilities of what can be done with skateboards.
We see the care and effort that a skater can have for his/her deck and we also acknowledge the origins of a skateboard. We believe that if the small things we do can connect to sustainability then we’re doing something right. We’d be satisfied in our effort when people look at products and start thinking of ways to recycle.”
Now go recycle something.
I came across an artist named Tom Veiga on notcot.org. He’s a surfer/artist living in Brazil, and he makes some really sick illustrations of waves. They’re all super simplistic which is what makes them so awesome (think 1960’s surf culture: bright colors, organic lines, very stylized). He has a really nice sense of color and composition. check him out.
