Those are exactly the two things I love to hear about on a nice Thursday almost-afternoon. You betcha. What we’ve got here are two amazingly fabulous new posters from our pals at graphic excellence’s gravity’s center: Aesthetic Apparatus. For two specific events: a show headed by Trey Anastasio, and a major design alert. Above you’ll see the poster that they only got to keep a couple of, below you’ll see “DEFCON: DOOM.”

Hello Spinal Tap Anvil Antwoord. You see back stage. This project right here is a photo collection taken on tour with two German bands (Bosse and Frida). The photographer has the name Heinrich Holtgreve and is really good at taking photos and making one photo tell the story of the whole space at once (or lack of story if that’s the case, if you know what I mean.) This set’s meant to show through documentation that touring with a band’s definitely not all glamourous diamond baths and sex with dollar bills and cheese snacks. Definitely not. Take this journey and smell the glove.

You know what I think? I think it’s just TRRRIBLE what people do with their pets when they don’t want them anymore. They just kick them in the river! Well that’s alright. But only if the pets we’re talking about are “Disposable Pets!” This is a product designed by masterpiecer Charlotte Dumoncel D’Argence. Each of these lovely little guys is made out of what I can only be assured is fully bio-degradable material so that when you toss it in the washing machine, it disintegrates! In the fire, it burns! In outer space, it floats!

But he ain’t deid yet! Not actually with a gun, either. Here’s a fabulous new art shot full of David Choe works of magnificence, new AND old! You can get your big huge painting on OR get your slightly smaller (but still gigantic) giclee print on. I can vouch for the quality too, I’ve got that one of a half-nude lady falling – it’s fantastic. This right here is called “Character Assassination” and it’s due to be released SOON through the Fifty24SF Gallery. The piece you see above is called “Rosie” and it’s pretty giant.

A post, a project. This photography collection right here is called “A man a plan a canal panama” and it’s all about the south. It looks a little desolate, sort of hoping for a better day. It reminds me of some of the photos seen during 2009 of Dubai. Here in the Panama Canal is a place that’s got bit plans. Had. As photographed by pro-pic-taker Lorena Endara. A gallery of stillness below.

Hey baby get up on this right here. This project is titled “Don’t Believe The Type”* and if simple looks are first looks are simple looks are final words, this is tight. Discover how explosively 3D and graphicky-modern type can be in these examples. I’d LOVE to have a stack of stickers of these amalgamations. Designed by none other than Marta Cerdà Alimbau herself. Such glitz, such magnificence.

Bones. They are everywhere. You can’t see them because they are under your skin. Unless you are in a skateboard crash. Then you can see your bones, because oh my god that looks like it hurts pretty bad. But what do you do with the bones once the meat is eaten off the bones? I’m talking like after a nice chicken shack visit. Then what? Felipe Ribon has the solution in a bunch of forms. You read those, then you read which one I think I’ve thought of that’s missing.

This post is a collection of hundreds of Star Wars photos from the set, of the movies, and from the promotional shots of the 70’s and 80’s. Doesn’t matter how you feel about Star Wars, it’s affected the way you work. The world you live in today is the world you live in today because of Star Wars. You’d better believe that. Its basically like this: Luke Skywalker: New York, Princess Leia: Los Angeles, Han Solo and Darth Vader: Minneapolis.

I am not even kidding you. That is the name of the solo show happening right now by artist / designer / wildman WK Interact. His name might be just “WK” now cause that’s what it says on the ads, but still, “How to Blow Yourself Up!” That’s what’s up. In this post is a basic rundown of everything that’s in the show. I recommend definitely GOING to the show though also because everything is so sculptural and needs to be seen IRL.*

These photos are technically not animal parts inside-out, but animals with their insides… out. They’re all taken by one Nazif Topçuoğlu who is one splendid and spectacular photographer if I do say so myself. These photos fit perfectly into his artist statement, in which he searches for images that remind the viewer of an unclear past. In my mind, I’m hoping he’s a slaughterhouse attendant as a child.

Head cheese.

What do you know, marriage isn’t so bad! Apparently now you get a nice shag carpet / fuzzy covered ball instead of the normal 1 ton! That’s what I like to hear. This and several other items also included in this post are sculptures put together and constructed by designer Karin Nilsson who goes under the “Crafts” banner at HDK design school in Göteborg, Sweden. Love the deconstructions!
