The largest category of posts on meathaus.com because we use it as the catch-all for all sorts of painting, drawing, sketchbooks, illustration and more.
The second installment of “Artificial Dissemination: Propaganda to Popaganda” is an exhibition devoted to Propaganda Posters. Last year Masthead Print Studio hosted the first Artificial Dissemination: Dissent on Paper. If in an alternate universe a band of scruffy, beer-swilling artists were the resistance, fighting the tyrant regime of Kindle, Septa, and Homophobes, Artificial Dissemination would have been a fair cross-section of the posters wheat-pasted all over their city.Now the crew is at it again with their new space on South Street. This is the perfect venue for such a show. South Street was once the hub of culture in this city, with awesome record stores, skate shops, and all other kinds of weirdness. These days, it’s been almost entirely overrun by crappy corporate stores, meathead barhoppers, and pawn shops. Phantom Hand is working to take back South Street one show at a time. Artificial Dissemination’s social commentary in poster-form will range from political/social issues to jabs at celebrity and pop culture.
New limited edition print is in Tomer Hanuka‘s store which is very sexy news for all you print-appreciating roof-smoochers out there. Always keep your eyes peeled for more on Tomer and Asaf’s blog.
Strange, I swear that JD Deardourff tipped us off about these prints he made somehow using comics pages as the raw source material for the final compositions, but I can’t find the email where he may have offered further information. Well I guess it is not that strange to lose an email. I especially like this piece. Above top is one of his pieces and beneath is the a test print sheet that is really something pretty to look at. See more on his website and then more of his work is on his blog.
I was trying to embed Rob Donnelly‘s latest animated bit for Slate which shows off the most refined version of his animation/illustration process to date which I think somehow involves clay three-dimensional head shapes, but the ding-dong player didn’t give me custom width options so it was going to break our layout here. Anyway, that’s fine, Slate, I’d rather just link to all of the other neat work Rob has been cranking out since he’s moved north to be a woodsman.
Check out the finely produced time-lapse video above that Esao made of various paintings in progress from his new show out at Thinkspace Gallery that is opening this Saturday. Learn more from the blog.
Takeuma has illustrations on his website, also here, more here as part of Nariyuki Circus which appears to be a small association of illustrators, and an entire nice section of his Kyoto based sketchbook drawings over here.
Tom Spina Designs, Inc. is a New York based business that creates custom sculpture, mannequins, highly unique themed furniture and elements. They also specialize in the restoration & display of movie props and wardrobe.
Their website has tons of awesome crazy photos of movie props they made and restored. A horror or sci-fi fan could dig around for hours looking at the pictures on this site. Click here to go to Tom Spina’s site.
Denis Forkas Kostromitin has a website with drawings and paintings to look at. Via The Cabinet of the Solar Plexus, an excellent source for mysterious drawings, prints and bawdy book plates.
I am always ready for more Andrew Schick sketches. So fortunately besides his design website he has at least two blogs that are sketch-centric: Sketchblog and The Daily Claw.
