Screenprint's by Blu

Italian street artist, Blu, designed a series of original prints called “Demos” that come in an edition of 25 (11/25 shown above) and are available to purchase through Studio Cromie. Each one is slightly different as they were made by adding random colors during the screen-printing process.

The prints measure 27″ x 39″ and cost a modest $800.00 considering how talented and well-renowned Blu is as an artist. Click here for more info.

Gualicho

It’s one thing to paint on a wall. It’s another thing to translate the spirits that live within the walls into viewable masterworks. Graffiti, street art: these are just keywords. The works you see in this post are among the newest paintings made by Gualicho, painter and animator from Buenos Aires. He’s lived there all his life, but travels to paint.

,These paintings are in Costa Rica and Cuba.

The works I’d like you to pay the most attention to are above and below, large format. If you’d like to look at the rest of the gallery, I wont stop you. Those paintings are all made in 2009 also, and also in Costa Rica and Cuba.

He [Gualicho] defines his style as post or neo-graffiti, though he also works vastly on canvas, paper and other materials. Since 2001 he co-manages Barfuss, an animation studio, where he has created pieces for several international companies

JC de Castelbajac Lego Inspired

For some time now, we’ve seen a revival of all things early 80’s pop culture. As the youth of that era take reign within creative positions, their idealism and inspiration from that era is re-positioned in today’s creative consciousness. After the success of the JCDC Lego collection, the inspiration just keeps extending to different categories and new styles; some wearable, some great for catwalk, as shown below.
JCDC has taken Lego to the high fashion catwalk again, however this time his references are as varied as African tribal accessories (complete with Mohawk style helmets), holidaying in the south of France (albeit with a Lego print twist) and iconic 80’s designer, Moschino’s spliced pocket jacket.
If you prefer your ‘pop culture references’ to be slightly more wearable, then the JCDC Lego watch might be more up your alley. Watches have seen a remarkable lift in design led innovation, incorporating a fashionable or pop culture element and often employing leading designers of today to interpret their design aesthetic for the category. JCDC has taken the classic Casio watch shape and used the iconic Lego primary colours and connectable circular shapes to offer a unique version for today’s audience.

Quick Ask Zoe

Loving this picture keyboard designed by Christopher Monro DeLorenzo. New York based Christopher explains the thinking behind the project,

“We used to learn our alphabets by reading those classroom banners that associated each letter with an animal or object. These days as kids become increasingly computer dependent at an early age I thought it was about time to adapt an old method to a new medium. From cultural icons to greek mythology, this keyboard sticker set will advance the alphabetical knowledge of any child, or adult.”

Kevin Van Aelst

Kevin Van Aelst photographs household objects to explain science. According to his artist’s statement, “The images aim to examine the distance between the ‘big picture’ and the ‘little things’ in life — the banalities of our daily lives, and the sublime notions of identity and existence… This work is about creating order where we expect to find randomness, and also hints that the minutiae all around us is capable of communicating much larger ideas.”
