Doe-Eyed is the design portfolio of Eric Nyffeler, an illustrator / graphic designer from Lincoln, Nebraska who makes some pretty snazzy images. His retro styling has a healthy dose of distress effects and his color choices are fantastic. Check out the portfolio and then buy some very affordable gigposters.

Dave Kinsey is one of my favorite artists working right now and he keeps pumping out high quality prints. The latest, entitled “Continuum I” features some kind of cow skull and flower imagery with the classic Kinsey color palette and texture work. The title of this piece might imply that there will be more in this series, and word from the Black Market crew is that this one took some serious skill to pull off. All of Dave Kinsey’s prints are always of the highest quality and packed with extra care. I’ve never been let down! If you want to get one of these, you can visit Black Market Editions tomorrow, April 8th between 10-11am PST.
This print is an 18″x18″ 5 color silkscreen on 100% cotton rag. The print is a signed & numbered edition of 110. This is Kinsey’s first print from his 2010 body of work. Full image after the break…

JukeboxCriminal tipped us on this cool animated short called “The Astronomer’s Dream” by animator Malcolm Sutherland. We really enjoyed the visual style, the quirky characters & creative environments.

I AM NOT AN ARTIST is a cute collection of self-deprecating animations brought to you by designers who need some sunlight and night-night therapy.
I wonder if they took the laptops outside to make this video.

Strawberryluna let us know about this new app for something called an ‘iPad’… apparently its a big iPod that was released today. If you’ve heard of it, you might want to check out the app called Rock Show. It’s a free download and it seems like a pretty great idea. The app allows you to browse and purchase gig posters by a growing selection of artists. Other poster artists might want to get in on this! In a semi-related note, there’s also this bit of awesomeness.

When we started this site we weren’t sure how much photography or sculpture we’d cover, but it seems like we constantly find inspirational works in these mediums. Enter Roger Ballen, an American-born photographer out of South Africa who’s dark imagery is intriguing and ambiguous, but never grotesque. You may have seen some of his older images and not been aware. On his website, you can view a great deal of his work under the ‘image galleries’ section. The above video features the artist talking at length about his process while displaying several examples. Enjoy!

A Tribute to the Madness of Beethoven – Mixed Media Assemblage – 35.5″ x 36″ – 2009
Kris Kuksi creates mind-blowing sculptures. His complex, shrine-like pieces are unlike anything I’ve ever seen and mystify me each time I view them. Judging by the artist’s website, he has lately been focusing on sculpture, but in his portfolio you can see that Kuksi is an extremely gifted painter and draftsman.
You can see more images after the break but a real treat is visiting the website and seeing the large images on display there. You can also pre-order a book of Kuksi’s work enttiled “Divination and Delusion” due out September 2010.
