US pop artist and 80′s icon James Rizzi died on the 29th of December aged 61. A prolific designer – in 1980 he designed the cover for the first album of new wave band, the Tom Tom Club – a side project of Talking Heads’ Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz. He also animated two music [...]
I think I’m having an acid flashback. Actually no, it’s a childhood memory of pawing through the record collections of early Seventies hippy friends of the family. Artist, illustrator and designer Dan McPharlin probably had a similar experience at some time in his life, seeing as almost all of his rather gorgeous art takes inspiration [...]
I’ve written a few times about artists that paint over old and unwanted paintings and prints at my portfolio blog, the most famous guy probably being Eric Joyner. However I have to admit that Italian artist and sci-fi fanatic Franco Brambilla has definitely pushed the envelope (do people say that any more?), broken the boundary, [...]
If you definitely prefer your arts media to be printed then you absolutely have to check out the print obsessions of OMG Posters. They scour the globe for the very finest in posters, prints (limited/unlimited) and just about anything indirectly applied to paper under the supervision of a certified cool and artsy brain. The blog [...]
I was trawling the net for new art, as you do, and I came across the work of Lisa Pettersson, a Swedish-born oil painter with a canny knack for recapturing that nostalgic glow we all look back on from time to time. Her work definitely leans towards the Pop Art end of the arts spectrum, [...]
There’s not much to say about Steve Seeley, his art is right up my street, taking influences from pop culture, comics, thrift store junk, and the general ephemera that most people only glance at on bin days. I wouldn’t exactly call him an enigma, but it’s fair to say the guy isn’t exactly forthcoming when [...]
Life and especially work can be frustrating for all of us. It’s the pressure of staying alive and earning a crust that holds back so many artists, many highly talented people find themselves stuck in a commercial quagmire where true freedom of self-expression is but only a dream, and to be honest, for the most [...]
One of the most highly sought-after illustrators in the advertising, design and editorial world is lending his award-winning skill to launching a new line of products ranging from children’s books to skateboards to men’s cuff links with his signature pop culture style. Pop Art becomes accessible to the public with the launch of the Gary Taxali product line of men’s [...]
If you love retro-futurism you’re probably still a little disappointed that none of it has arrived quite yet, sure we’ve got cellphones and space travel’s getting cheaper (relatively speaking… if you’re a billionaire). There are plenty of places to get your retro-futurist fix online, but for those who’ve no idea what I’m going on about [...]
I remember when you could find shopping trolleys everywhere, not just supermarket car-parks but ditches, ponds, lakes, I found one on the top of a hill near Glastonbury once, now that must’ve taken some dedication. I lived in Bristol years ago and when I was on the dole I’d take a trip to shopping hell [...]
