As a fan of all things Steven Harrington, I'm happy to see that he and Jonathan Zawada have been commissioned to create artwork for the Stacks Holiday Collection of skate decks. Via Kitsune Noir.

MUST. WATCH. NOW.
I'm seriously blown away by the passion, craft and technical skill displayed by signmaker and glass etcher David A. Smith. This video is an incredible portrayal of a magnificent artist and craftsman. I can't say enough. Via Kitsune Noir.

Sara Nicely
Nice use of type by SF designer/illustrator Sara Nicely. Via Kitsune Noir.



Vladimir Rachev
Witty, humorous and functional, I'm loving the work of product designer Vladimir Rachev. Via Kitsune Noir.



Grant Coghill
Amazing illustrations by Grant Coghill. Via Kitsune Noir.




Love Letters
Love Letter is a project by Stephen Powers with the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, a fantastic initiative that creates wall murals facing the Market elevated train line in order to beautify the neighborhood and provide job training to local youth. We need so much more hand painted signage in every city. Via Kitsune Noir.



New Faile Site
As a fan of their collective work, I'm very excited about Faile's new website, which now contains photos documenting past shows for those of us who weren't lucky enough to make them. Via Kitsune Noir.




Clark Goolsby
Clark Goolsby creates these amazing colorful mixed media pieces using everything from magazine clippings to human skulls (I'm assuming he uses fakes?). That gives me an idea...maybe I'll donate my postmortem remains to art instead of science. Can you do that? Via Kitsune Noir.


A Black + White Issue
Michael Kenna has some amazing minimal black + white photography on his site, both for personal and commercial projects. Scary good work, and lots of it.

I'll spare you the pun involving "Lo"... for now
I was recently introduced to the work of Tessar Lo via his entry into Kitsune Noir's Desktop Wallpaper Project. He has a very original, painterly style to his dreamlike imagery, not a surprise since his influences are listed as everyone from Murakami to Gauguin. I may be late to the party, but let's just say he has a new fan.
