The very talented Josh Keyes has some new work in his portfolio. Awesome as always. As we mentioned in a previous post you should take the time to check out his sketchbook and watch the videos if you are interested in his thought process.
Throughout the month of March make sure to head over to the Tim Faulkner Gallery in Louisville, KY to see the work of Steven Gilberts. His show, “The Audacity of Bubblegum Mechanics” went up over the weekend. His work is fantastic, and I’m sure at least a little dark. I can’t wait to see it myself. Don’t miss out.
I’m really loving the work of Andy Kehoe and I must say that I haven’t been inspired by an artist this much in quite some time. I really like all of the elements including the titles of his paintings. They give his work an extra level of meaning. Be sure to check out his shop for some limited edition prints. Great stuff.
The Pet Milk literary magazine and cd’s are now on sale for $7.00 at CD Central, Morris Book Shop, and Sqecial Media. Very cool, pick one up asap.
On March 14th, Died Young, Stayed Pretty will be making its U.S. premiere in Austin, Texas at the SXSW Music & Film Festival!
Picking up where punk left off, Died Young Stayed Pretty reveals a new breed of counter-culturists; artists that set out to destroy the mainstream through their controversial and intensely visceral design work. Under the guise of advertising for rock shows, these unheralded masters of the silkscreen and Xerox machine carry on public discourses that range from hot button political issues to lewd inside jokes. Director Eileen Yaghoobian sneaks her camera into the lives of these self-proclaimed professional radicals to discover where the real punk power lies, if any remains. Presented in the Emerging Visions Category, this feature film is the first of its kind to take a candid look at the renaissance of North America’s underground indie-rock poster movement.
