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.
I can’t get enough of Borja Bonaque’s illustration and design. Check out more work here.
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.
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.

The G.I. JOE: Rise of Cobra TV spot that aired during the Super Bowl last night brought back some fond memories of my childhood. G.I. JOE was hands down my favorite toy as a kid. My other love was skateboarding and of course Powell Peralta. You can imagine my excitement when I ran across RetroSkateStickers.com today while I was already on an all-things-retro high. RetroSkateStickers.com currently has over 375 vintage skate stickers in their gallery with many of them for sale. Above are some of my favorites. I remember buying every deck back in the day because of the graphics which meant I always bought VCJ illustrated Powell Peralta. Man, I miss those days. It kind of makes me want to dig out the old McGill board from the attic… maybe I’ll grab the G.I. JOEs while I’m up there.
