Pedro Matos LA Show 2013

noreply@blogger.com (Selph) — Wed, 15 May 2013 21:52:00 +0000

"Pedros Matos’ first LA exhibition ‘Building Castles Made of Sand’ opens on 17th May at Martha Otero Gallery. The exhibition will feature a new series of oil paintings on canvas and azulejo panels – a traditional Portuguese medium of hand-painted, tin-glazed ceramic tile work. It runs until June 15th and is definitely worth checking out to see his unique style of work made up of layering and the huge variety of textures and mediums he works with. "

Arrive safely at home after drinking by using the a ‘Beer Turnstile’ at the metro station. Now....how do we get every subway system to implement this?

R.I.P. Chris Mac Daddy Kelly

noreply@blogger.com (Selph) — Thu, 02 May 2013 15:13:00 +0000

Chris "Mac Daddy" Kelly of 1990s hip-hop duo Kris Kross was pronounced dead this evening at Atlanta Medical Center after being found unresponsive in his home earlier in the day. He was 34...

Kelly's mother and the So So Def Family issued this statement on Thursday morning: “It is with deep sadness that we announce that our beloved Chris Kelly has passed away on May 1. To millions of fans worldwide, he was the trendsetting, backwards pants-wearing one-half of Kris Kross who loved making music. But to us, he was just Chris – the kind, generous and fun-loving life of the party. Though he was only with us a short time, we feel blessed to have been able to share some incredible moments with him. His legacy will live on through his music, and we will forever love him.”

DigesTED
BY Alex Pardee
$200
6-Inch Vinyl Edition of 250

The gift that keeps on taking. Lifelong friend or enemy? Every thing has a secret life. Behind the scenes, in the dark when no one's watching, what do we know of even our best of friends? Waiting motives always reveal themselves, tearing through the mock exteriors that build trust and perfect traps. This once cozy demon is having his day, powered by the horror of its prior owner and already onto its next victim. The veneer is stripped away to reveal the terrifying truth.

Something wicked this way came - not through a hard knock on the door or from the corner of your eye, but freely accepted, as a gift, a trusted companion for cold nights and hot fears. It's not the dark that's scary. It's your friends in the dark you should be worried about. A limited edition of 250 pieces. Each is hand numbered with the artist's signature engrave on the base. Packaged in a display box and features high gloss details, blood red eyes, and an overwhelming sense of dread.

Incredible Paper Marbling Video

noreply@blogger.com (Selph) — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:15:00 +0000

Paper marbling is a method of aqueous surface design, which can produce patterns similar to smooth marble or other stone. The patterns are the result of color floated on either plain water or a viscous solution known as size, and then carefully transferred to an absorbent surface, such as paper or fabric. Through several centuries, people have applied marbled materials to a variety of surfaces. It is often employed as a writing surface for calligraphy, and especially book covers and endpapers in bookbinding and stationery. Part of its appeal is that each print is a unique monotype.

Sign Painters: A Documentary

noreply@blogger.com (VZT) — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 10:00:00 +0000

AWESOME!

Check out this trailer for Sign Painters, a documentary by Faythe Levine & Sam Macon.
There was a time, as recently as the 1980s, when storefronts, murals, banners, barn signs, billboards, and even street signs were all hand-lettered with brush and paint. But, like many skilled trades, the sign industry has been overrun by the techno-fueled promise of quicker and cheaper. The resulting proliferation of computer-designed, die-cut vinyl lettering and inkjet printers has ushered a creeping sameness into our landscape. Fortunately, there is a growing trend to seek out traditional sign painters and a renaissance in the trade.

In 2010 Directors Faythe Levine and Sam Macon, with Cinematographer Travis Auclair, began documenting these dedicated practitioners, their time-honored methods, and their appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. Sign Painters, the first anecdotal history of the craft, features the stories of more than two dozen sign painters working in cities throughout the United States. The documentary and book profiles sign painters young and old, from the new vanguard working solo to collaborative shops such as San Francisco’s New Bohemia Signs and New York’s Colossal Media’s Sky High Murals.

I can't wait to see it!
