This is a super interesting and inspringing short film about the comic creation process. Listen to the way that he talks about the light and color of equatorial africa.
These are incredible. There’s a ton of variety in line and tone. The dude’s name is Simon Goinard Phelipot, and that’s all I know about him because the type on his website is so tiny. If anyone takes the time to try and read it, let me know what you learn. Maat on the Behance Network.
Shepard Fairey from Arkitip on Vimeo.
Say what you will about the appropriation of imagery – the dude can paint. He can create. It’s not all stolen scans, and co-opted revolutionary art. The dude got his start cutting out stencils, and throwing up stickers. It’s apparent that all the fame, and the massive aesthetic apparatus that he’s built hasn’t watered down his ability to create some beautiful and unique imagery.
I spend all day every day looking at super glossy digital bullshit. This is where it’s really at. Check out these organic, beautiful, multimedia collages done by Robert Mars. He says his work is a chronicle of America. If you look through his portfolio you’ll see an interesting hodgepodge of 60’s and 70’s ephemera worked into the layers of his paintings. Each painting has a pretty limited palette, but as a whole they’re lively and colorful. I’m definitely going to look for opportunities to bring this kind of feeling into my own work.

I’m all about these retro-styled prints from Tavis Coburn. Don’t know anything else about him, but I’m sure they’d make great Christmas presents.Found via Drawn.
If you’re into motion graphics at all, you’re surely familiar with the work of Jake Sargent. From Digital Kitchen, to Motion Theory, this guys has been defining the edge of motion graphics for years now. He’s got a new site up that’s definitely worth a look.
Please Watch this film. It’s a fictional piece about displaced peoples. It’s beautiful. It’s one-of-a-kind. I’m gushing, I apologize. I guarantee you’ve never seen anything quite like this. I also guarantee that it’ll effect you. Please watch it. Made by motion graphics guru The Ronin.
I can’t seem to get too far from brazil. My absolute favorite illustrator Adhemas Batista just updated his website with some new work. Nobody paints on top of photography better than Adhemas. These are full on illustrations. He doesn’t skimp on the color. If you’re looking for subtle, look elsewhere because these illustrations are luxurious.
It’s 2.3 million folded prison uniforms, equal to the number of Americans incarcerated in 2005. It’s also an example of Chris Jordan’a photography. It takes a sharp look at American culture by using statistics and everyday objects. The images themselves end up with simple beauty. They vaguely reference old color field paintings, but on closer look…
