Yes there are some times when its appropriate to draw sports figures, believe it or not! The golden, romantic age of sports heros is over – Michael Jordan and Bo Jackson do not play sports anymore. But here’s a couple of women who love sports men so much they draw them with felt pens & markers to this day! These illustrators are named Sandra & Annika and they go by the team name YAWN.

Oh holy crap Moustache Bandanas. Remember the early 90’s? You couldn’t wear a bandana, not any bandana at all, because you’d get shot. Red bandanas were for the Bloods, blue bandanas were for the Crips, and purple were for the Grimaces. You’d get so many burgers thrown at you. So many. But you will NOT get held up and stabbed when you’re sporting one of the bad boys you’ll see in this post. No sir.

Every fantastic photo I ever heard of had at least two good elements in it. If it had three, well hell, I’d be all over it. All up around it holdin it in my hands, ready with a frame and a matte, ready to put that thang up on my wall. But look at me ramblin! What are we talkin about here for real? That man and his puppy. That man, the other men in this post and one lady. All of em found on a road trip from Las Vegas to the Salton Sea.

Oh say can you see, my eyes -because if you can then my hair’s too short!

These are photos from a set by the lovely talented photographer Irmak Altiner who hails from sunny Istanbul. The set is called, apropos, “Hair.” And a very hairy situation it is. I’d love one or two or three of these framed up in tiny nice black frames on my wall – no lies!

WHOA watch where you throw that “furry” word there, this ain’t not cosplay. This is the world of puppetry. To be taken seriously. These are basically the guys who co-headlined a concert with Spinal Tap. These are the guys who make puppets! Such lovely puppets specifically for the high definition generation! They say so!

So you remember the cover of the New York Times where there were two giant fingers crushing a red gummy United States? That was made by none other than the artist we’ve got here today: Kevin Van Aelst. He’s got big ideas and he illustrates them teeny tiny or just basically small items he sees everyday. From a keyboard made out of children’s letter blocks to a USB video tape, here’s to QUITE the illustrator!

Everything that ever mattered! I was peeking around concept art today and happened upon the name Drew Struzan. That guy did a lot of artwork for Star Wars… oh and he did Fievel Goes West… and Big Trouble in Little China, Blade Runner, Harry Potter, and BACK TO THE FUTURE. Holy crap this guy did everything in the danged world. Below you will find a collection of Drew Struzan’s works, everything from the Police Academy series to Arnold Schwarzenegger in William Shakespear’s King Lear!

So it seems there’s a hive-mind sort of thing going on in the world right now, a hive with bees swarming around the idea that shooting film is the same as shooting a gun. Such lovely nonsense. Today we have a contribution from the utterly colorful fashion photographer from Istanbul and Miami (WOW) Akif Hakan Celebi. This set is a CHASE set between two rival and rather well-dressed film shooters out to get one another. See who wins!

It’s a project called “Close Up and Private.” It is a super-up-n-close exploration of modern style of what I’d call the “hipster generation.” You get the feeling from these photographs that these people own vinyl records and probably don’t play them very often. Clothing in these photos are from LOTS of different places, amongst them Comme des Garçons, Barneys Boutiques, Polo, Experimental Jetset – the shirt for 2K/Gingham (Beatles), Ray Ban, Vans, Adidas, D&G – Dolce&Gabbana hello! – + more I can’t recognize or type n such.

There is a band of wild screenprinters in this city who quite commonly throw all their ink in one pot to support one hot cause or another. In today’s episode, we’ve got “Sweet Hair,” an event which takes place at the all-posterish Minneapolis art hot spot Art Minion. This particular amalgamation of paper and ink is tossed in support of Locks of Love. Ten percent of all profit made from these hair posters goes toward just such a voluminous cause. See all the artists webpages and snapshots of their works below!

Visit them or I will punch you in the nose! This is a conversation had by two fellows that had an amazing idea. Tom & Shaun sittin in yer window, doin all kinds of stuff. For a full week(?) they’ll be sitting in this window display, doing all sorts of stuff via internet users all over the world – telling them what to do! And they aren’t half bad at typography and the like, are they? They’re totally awesome.
