Issue #3 contributor and all around fantastic artist owleyes has exploded onto the blogosphere in the last few months with andiamonds. Certainly interesting to get a looksee into all the freaky things that influence his work.
Enjoy your freaky Friday and equally freaky weekend!
Surely you didn’t think we were done with business cards after the Kluge. The Mama’s boys hooked me up with bookbinder extrodinaire Monica Holtsclaw of Boombox Bindery to do some gilding for us. How off the sicktor chain is this? Pretty off the sicktor chain. It blows my mind that someone is doing this type of thing in my town. Thanks Monica!
Mexico City recording artist Natalia Lafourcade just release her latest album entitled Hu Hu Hu. Dear friend Cara made the masks and the dress Lafourcade wears on the cover. Cara worked really hard on these and I’m very proud of her!
The masks are also featured in the video Azul (dudes won’t let me embed). The video is kinda whack (why are these twentysomethings acting like seven-year-olds?), but I think the masks are cool, they show up at the end. Congrats Cara!
The news came down the pike this afternoon that Al Pacino is playing Dr. Jack Kevorkian in an upcoming Showtime movie. The vid in the post showed Kevorkian talking about his artwork at a gallery opening. First off, I had no idea the guy painted. Second off, I had no idea he would be my favorite painter of all time. I would pay a VERY large amount of money to have one of these nightmare-inducing, psyche-scarring masterpieces in my possession. These were the highest res versions I could find. You still get the hellish idea.
I really only knew Kevorkian from the image he held in the media as a silver-haired, murderous, demon doctor. After watching this video, he seems like kind of an awesome guy.
Very exciting stuff happening on the internet front. The inimitable Jeff Hamada over at BOOOOOOOM! gave us some cyber ink this afternoon. If you’ve never come across Jeff’s site you’re missing out. It’s a daily-updated compendium of some of the most talented creative people in the world these days and we’re happy beyond the ability to express ourselves to be included among them. Thanks Jeff!
Very excited to be getting some cyber ink over at clubmumble.com thanks to current contributor and all-around-good-dude Todd Jordan. Check it out, even though it’s going to eventually re-direct you right back here. Still exciting!
