Methane Studios makes some pretty snazzy gigposters and art prints. They just released a bunch of new items like pictured above in their webstore. All of the prints are silkscreens in very low editions and very reasonably priced. Get some!

Tyrone Stevenson rocks.  In late 2008, I was staying with a couple friends in the Bay.  They showed me a youtube video with some kids out of Oakland rapping on scraper bikes.  It was cool.  It’s getting cooler.  Read the brief interview and watch the video.  If you’re a bicycle enthusiast, someone who appreciates people having fun with colors, or like to look at social issues through the arts, you’re in for a treat.

It’s fun design with a bright future.  And it’s in motion.

Gallery 1988 is a really cool place that likes to hold themed art shows, and they’re always fun. These group shows manage to feature works by some of the hottest names working today, and this show looks like it has the potential to be great. “Another Dimension” is the Twlight Zone-themed art show featuring over 50 artists, opening May 20th at 7PM at Gallery 1988 LosAngeles. While no official preview images are available to view (we’ll post more if it is made public), you can let your imagination do the work for now. Read the full list of artists on the show card here.

UPDATE: A web preview of the artwork in this show has been posted. Enjoy here!

I’ve hesitated to post about this site for a while due to the quickness that most of the artprints they release are sold-out, but since it is the last week of the show, what better time is there to feature such an awesome collection of artwork for what is arguably one of the best character-driven television shows ever made. Besides, there are a few new silkscreen prints that are still available!

Damon, Carlton and a Polar Bear references the names of the executive producers of the show LOST and of course, a polar bear (inside joke). What the name represents is a series of art prints and clothing by some of the coolest working artists around. You can check out their vast gallery of sold out art prints, and browse their current available offerings. They have a few cool silkscreen prints still available featuring images of season 6. Guy Burwell’s latest offering stands out in particular.

If you’re a fan of the show as much as I am, you’ve got to check this site out. This LOST merch definitely trumps the official ABC merch store, and with such handsomely-designed products, you’re sure to be looking good even after everyone’s forgotten who Penny is 🙂 (more…)

Dave Kinsey is at it again. One of the most frequently-featured artists on FP has a new silkscreened art print available for purchase today, Wednesday, May 19th, 2010. This is a 4-color screenprint on 100% cotton rag in an edition of 100. The size is a slightly irregular 18″x22″ and it is signed, numbered, and stamped. If you’re interested in acquiring one of these, you can get it at Black Market Gallery’s Website between 10-11am PST for $85. Dave Kinsey’s prints are normally some of the best-looking silkscreens I’ve come across, so this is sure to please. Full image after the break. (more…)

I’ve been waiting for a decent quality version of this to pop up on Vimeo (Flightpattern’s video service of choice) for some time now, and here it is. Logorama: the 17-minute animated film created by H5. The picture won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short at the 82nd Academy Awards. While it may appear to be light and friendly, the film has some salty language and violence so it might be better watched at home rather than work. You also might recognize a song in the end if you enjoyed Fallout 3 as much as I did. Enjoy!

Even devout watchers of Saturday Night Live may not recognize the name. Many of us can name our favorite sketches (Herlihey Boy/Matt Foley) and argue till we’re blue in the face about which era we prefer (Hartman/Sandler/Farley/Carvey/Meyers/Rock). Casts have come and gone in the 35 years since inception. However, there has always been one constant all these years. Still photography has been used as a way to promote the hosts and musical guests as well as serve as a cue to affiliates that the show is coming back from break. The idea behind the photos have always been to showcase the talent on the show and give you something interesting to look at. Enter Mary Ellen Matthews. (more…)

These Are Things are a designer duo from Columbus, Ohio that make some really nifty silkscreened maps. It appears that the first edition of each design is limited to 100, while the 2nd editions are open.

Another day, another mind-blowing complex silkscreen art print! This 20 color silkscreen print is by Diana Sudyka, a Chicago-area artist. This is the 11th installment in the Decoder Ring Design Concern artist print series, and a fine addition to the collection of impressive artworks created for the series thus far!

The print is an 18″x24″ image on a 22″x30″ sheet of Coventry Rag Archival Paper. All prints are signed, numbered from an edition of 100, and embossed with the DRDC logo. As usual for the prints in this series, the cost is $250 shipped. If you’d like to get one for yourself, you can pick this up at the Decoder Ring website. (more…)

Audrey Kawasaki has created this gorgeous painting for the Roq La Rue gallery‘s group show entitled “Tiger Tiger Burning Bright”, a themed show based on William Blake’s poem “The Tiger”.

Artists included in the show are Audrey Kawasaki, Robert Hardgrave, Travis Louie, Lisa Petrucci, Isabel Samaras, Robert Burden, Jason D’Aquino, Nouar, Jim Blanchard, Angelique Houtcamp, Bob Dob, Anthony Ausgang, Ann-Marie Manker, Yumiko Kayukawa, Jaw Cooper, and more… The show opens Friday, May 14th 2010 and runs through May 30th at Roq La Rue Gallery in Seattle, WA.

To coincide with the event, the gallery has released the painting as a limited edition print. All proceeds from this print benefit the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust as well as the Wildlife Conservation Society to be earmarked for Tiger Conservation. The print is a 18.5×16″ giclee print on a 18.5 x17″ sheet, edition of 100, $200 ea, one per household. Audrey’s prints are very high quality and are usually shipped with great care.

If you are interested in this print, you can buy it in person at the show opening. If there are any left over (I would bet there will be), the remaining stock will be sold on a first come first serve basis from a list kept by the gallery. To get on the list you just need to email Kirsten (kirsten@roqlarue.com) and ask nicely. Full image after the break. (more…)
