A new set of graphics available from our store on Society6.

Stealth Aircraft are the best designed aircraft in the world. Sure, they’re kind of expensive but they make you invisible and allow you to attack from space, apparently that’s worth something. Now even your phone can be hidden from radar (maybe*) with the Largetosti STEALTH series.

Prints were designed based on the F117 Nighthawk, SR-71 Blackbird & YF-23 Blackwidow II. We have alternates for the shirts & hoodies:

*May also totally not be true.

Jeremy Lin is taking the NBA by storm. Over his last 6 starts Lin has scored the most points since the NBA/ABA merger in 1976. Thats more points then Magic, Bird, Jordan, Shaq, Iverson, Kobe and Lebron scored in their first 6 games.

On top of that he is the first American born Asian player in the league and he went to Harvard. That makes for an extreme underdog feel good story.

At first me and the rest of the NBA crowd were skeptical of his quick meteoric rise to stardom. But when he torched the Kobe led LA Lakers with 38 points Jeremy Lin became for real and America became obsessed with finding new nicknames of the most original kind. Like LINsanity, LINning it looks like America is going LINsane.

All this calls for an tribute to Jeremy Lin.

Some highlights from Jeremy Lin vs The Lakers:

Conceal your true speed and direction with the Largetosti dazzle camouflage series. Dazzle camo may have fallen out of favor with the military after the second world war, but it’s making a comeback for the early 21st century.

A recent study from the University of Bristol shows that dazzle camo can effect the perception of speed, making it mostly effective in throwing off those bothersome RPG attacks against your fast moving vehicle. Now that ubiquitous robot vision has entered our world it’s also proving a good defense against facial recognition algorithms, a use popularized in speculative fiction through William Gibson‘s ‘ugly shirt‘.

Shit is crazy outside! Next time an argus of drones launches a ballistic attack on your portable computing device a Largetosti dazzle skin may be all that can save it.

Here’s a couple of our key inspirations for the series, first up the woodcuts by Edward Wadsworth. He also did some pretty rad paintings, you should look those up.

The German Kriegsmarine had some pretty crazy camouflage too, which you can read about in way too much detail here. We are especially big fans of their sly tactic of disguising a gunship as a row of houses, which is of course totally inconspicuous at sea.

In modern usage there’s this yacht Guilty, which some Greek billionaire art collector commissioned to be designed by Jeff Koons. If you’re going to have a ludicrous 100+ foot yacht and not murder it out stealth style this is totally the best thing you can do.

If any of you billionaires out there need your next satellite, private jet or zeppelin dazzled out be sure to drop us a line. And of course everyone should check out our stuff on Society6. Cheers.

It’s a new year & we’re still here! After DEATHMARCH 2012 I took off on holiday for most of January, now we’re back & busy making our contribution to end the world as you knew it. Before we get back to our (ir)regularly scheduled programming, just a quick review of our stated goals for the DEATHMARCH and a look at where we want to take things in the new year.

Website redesign:

Well we got started! The lethargic development strategy we sought to employ quickly got swamped by client work which is good on the one hand but now we’ve been stuck with a site jury-rigged around 2 different grids for months already haha.

Next most important thing is probably an about page, as we really need to be doing a better job of articulating what the hell it is we sit around doing all day.

The biggest bottleneck for real progress is filling the new archive, and we always warn our clients about how much work sorting out their content is going to be…

Retail:

We have tried a number of outlets, the most successful of which is currently our store on Society6 where you can buy Prints, Framed prints, Canvases, iPhone Cases, Laptop Skins, iPhone Skins, Hoodies & T-shirts featuring our work. We’ll be concentrating our efforts there for the time being, but as always remain available to discuss cool commissions or collaborations.

The Quest for Representation:

Turned out to be less of a quest and more of a trip to the corner store. We’ve talked to a couple of agents and art directors, it’s clear that we need help with acquisition, however finding the right fit isn’t easy. We operate visually in a niche that isn’t safe for the commercially conservative. We’re staying there.

If you are (or you know) an agent or art director with jobs that fit our style you should get in touch with us.

More Bullshit:

I’m confident that we delivered on this count. Notes were out on a weekly basis, and almost every doodle created while waiting for Photoshop files to open over the course of last year was posted up, those will be compiled & put out as a poster at some point too.

In conclusion:

We worked hard, to the point of near burn out at times. Gained a few clients and dropped a few too. We have established a whole new rash of processes that don’t work for us, and found a couple that really did.

Regular news will continue to come out this year, we had a lot of good feedback on the weekly notes so the format may change slightly but something like that will stay. The updating of the site will continue, as will our push outwards as we slowly shift the focus of our studio more to illustration and graphics.

Stay tuned as we catch up on all the news from January over the next few days and then head on towards the heat death of the universe.

The final doodle of the doodle collection. A compilation poster is coming soon.

This doodle looks extremely drunk. Could be a guy visiting our local supermarket buying a package of salted meats, a chocolate dessert and 5 cans of beer.

The rookie with the coolest name in the nba is Bismack Biyombo. He is averaging a steller 3.2 points a game. Okay he is more of a defender. But your name might be the greatest of all time.

This old lady looks like a true warrior.

Hey Ronny stay of the illegal substances, its not a good look!!!

Larry Johnson was one of my favorite basketball players when i was a kid. He also had one of the best commercials in the game. Dressed up as a grand mama. find that stuff on Youtube.
