21 Helmets Art Show -> Portland, Oregon

21 artists come together to show off their amazing helmet designs at a Portland art gallery, all supported by classic motorcycle helmet company BELL. Love to see a company take notice and place a spotlight on their customer’s passions. Makes for an entertaining view.

Really nice work coming from 20 year old Norwich, UK artist ‘Inflow’. Saw his stuf this morning via the magical tumblr radar. Many more insanely detailed drawings to be seen beyond the link below.

Senseless Drawing BOT -> So Kanno + Takahiro Yamaguchi

Sometimes senseless, random scribbles on a wall can be a ‘thing of beauty’. Especially, when applied by a free-roaming gallery robot. Pretty amazing, would love to see it in person. Check out the video below.

Theory One -> Ink Drawings/Flickr Stream

I’m really into the character drawings that can be found on Theory One’s flickr photo stream. Great line quality and character in each and every one, so worth checking out. I found them while browsing through Eight Hour Day’s perpetually interesting and inspiring design blog.

The competition travels from one destination to another where the artists render their creations side by side in front of a large audience, from the pics on the ‘Secret Wars’ website it looks to be quite the traveling party [...]

You can also view the drawing here on google maps. His works are temporary and eventually [...]

Kiel Johnson -> Cardboard Sculptures

The first I saw of L.A. based, Kansas City born Kiel Johnson was the title screen of his time lapse video below (Cardboard Sculpture of a Twin Lens Reflex Camera) on Vimeo. Honestly I didn’t even play the video at the time. I guess I’d seen so much papercraft time lapse video on Youtube and [...]

Illustration/Design -> Rick Baker

If you’re into heady organic drawings you should spend some time clicking through L.A. based artist Rick Baker’s photo stream on Flickr (also featured Flickr contact this week in right hand column). He’s got some really interesting works to share, some based on old found photography, other works resemble detailed solar systems drawn directly on [...]

The illustrative works by Robert Samuel Hanson range from bustling graphic city scapes to thought provoking minimalist graphic posters. His decisive renderings are meticulously arranged and composed creating playful graphic patterns accented by vibrant shapes of color. Have a look at more of his works via the link below.

Lost Below -> Mato Atom

Lost Below from Mato Atom on Vimeo.

This animation rendering by CG artist Mato Atom is well worth the view. Lines of different thickness and rate of speed come together in beautifully simplistic figurative forms over a limited palette background accented with silhouettes of foliage that occur in negative space. That’s the best that I can [...]

Forget Ceke -> Kollektivet livet

For those of you out there like me, who have often wondered how large urban art pieces come to be… This is a very interesting look into the process of taking a small rendering by Ceke and Forget in colaboration with Kollektivet livet, blowing it up and placing it on to it’s final destination in [...]

CARDBOARD -> Motion Tracking Animation

I came across this video the other day on Vimeo and was pretty impressed with the integration of these fidgety cut-out cardboard creatures into the real-life street scenery. The animated composites are really well done and the added effect of motion-tracking makes it believable. Worth a view.

Milton Glaser -> Draws & Lectures

MILTON GLASER DRAWS & LECTURES from C. Coy on Vimeo.

Five minutes with graphic designer/artist and New Yorker Milton Glaser as he draws and discuses his thoughts on the act and purpose of drawing is five minutes well spent in my opinion. Be sure to check out the links below for more information on him and [...]
