Product of God

Comments Off on Product of GodArt

productofgod.jpg

Product of God has prints from all your favorite designers and illustrators and I didn’t do any legwork to find out but my guess if Big Active might have a hand in it. Just a guess though deduced by the list of artists. I am pretty fond of the Kate Gibb prints but my favorite one (above left) is already sold out.

There is some recent work up from a past show at the Thinkspace Gallery from Zach Johnsen, the man behind Tank Theory. It looks like it must have been a great show. The work kind of reminds me of a mashup between Dave Kinsey and Ralph Steadman.

WK Interact now has a website featuring all of his amazing efforts. He may have had one before but I never knew until now. Either way, it is worth taking a look through. When I was in NYC a few weeks back I saw a lot of his work all over the city.

Mike Giant: White Walls SF

The results of Mike Giant’s recent show at White Walls SF can currently be seen at the White Walls website. I was absolutely blown away, especially when you consider that all of the work is sharpie, pen and ink. I have been working with vector art for more than a decade now and to see someone bang out something that looks like a vector by hand is pretty amazing. The type work is phenomenal as well. Again just unreal that it is done by hand. The fact that Giant signs his work with a thumb print makes the pieces even more indescribably awesome.

A lot of the work is still available for purchase as well and if you are a collector you can’t miss. If you can afford an expensive art purchase in this economy please help support this artist because his work is top notch.

Bloc28 and Disney have combined forces to give the world’s most famous mouse gets a makeover at the hands of some of today’s most prominent street artists (Aroe, Chaz Bojorquez, Ewok, Rime, Tenga, Suiko, Slick). The results will be sold on an Ebay Charity Auction. Some of the work is pretty interesting. I love the piece displayed above.

Comments Off on Heiko MulerArt

My art comes from an urge to explore. I like the countryside. I like a good view. And once I’m face to face with a lovely scenery, I feel immediately tempted to find out what it’s concealing. The dark goings-on behind the façade of nature, you might say, or the hidden machinations of the animal kingdom.

To imagine and express this, I usually tap the lines linking religious icon art, renaissance painting and comic culture. I am particularly thrilled by the kind of spiritual terror you find expressed in the paintings of the old Flemish masters, and I’m trying to find out what happens when you apply that mood to the serene and harmless world of rural folk art.

I am based in Hamburg, Germany, but my stuff has also been shown in such diverse places as Estonia, New York, Paris, Saint Petersburg, Los Angeles, Seattle and Chicago. When not busy with art or media work, I can usually be found painting pictures with my 7-year-old-son.”

Chances are that if you frequent the design/art blogosphere you have stumbled upon the work of David Bray at one point or another. His work has appeared numerous times on FFFFound and he has worked for some very large clients. He has kept busy exhibiting this year and you can see the fruits of his labor here from his exhibition the Stolenspace gallerey at Let’s Hit the Streets. There is also a more comprehensive listing of the works, with larger images at the actual Stolenspace website. You can also view a little more his his work at Pvuk.

His work focuses primarily on the female form but looks almost as though it was plucked from a Fashion-illustration book. It is the simplicity of his work that I really enjoy. I also love the way he renders the hair of his subjects.
