Tattooed Gloves
Completely smitten with these works of art. In a contrasting fashion, Ellen Greene paints perceived masculine tattoo art on to feminine gloves. via Ink Butter
The Undercover Collection
A monthly poster series where one canvas is by an anonymous painter, and the other canvas (of type) is created by Job Wouters. I found The Undercover Collection on the Letman site (which I’ve posted before), there has been a massive amount of updates with amazing work. Go now – I urge you.
26 Characters
Recently fell upon the blog of 26 Characters, the blog of painter and lettering artist Michiel van der Born. I’m really keen on his tattoo-inspired work.
Satisfy Yourself
This is a very inspirational note recently posted on Public School. There is a project called Letters of Note that features letters that are worth posting for all to see. The only thing that makes me sad about this post is that Keith Haring lived to the age of 31 and did so much more work than I have at my age of 31. It really made me think twice when I saw his age of death, and I just hope that one day I can do amazing work such as he has.
Paper Tattoos
I’ve posted about his work before, but this is completely new. Jacob Dahlstrup Jensen is now tattooing paper. The technique gives the appearance of an embroidered look, don’t you think? And it seems I’m not the only one mesmerized by tattoo art! And Jacob, if you read this – I would love to see you do a ship or ocean themed tattoo on paper. Just a small request. Via Design Crush
Jeff Bridges
Jeff Bridges is everywhere. Not just because his upcoming films Tron and True Grit are highly anticipated, but because of his artistic abilities. JeffBridges.com features artwork completely hand drawn … by him. It’s really impressive and completely unexpected for an actor. I mean, where does he find the time to draw? And in addition to that, Esquire allowed him to bless the cover of their UK edition with his hand-drawn typography and replaced the logo with his handy-work. Unbelievable, right?! It looks amazing! +
Hassan Massoudy
Speechless. I’m really left speechless on these works of art created be Hassan Massoudy, a calligrapher. I’ll let a statement from Hassan’s website do it justice: Creations from Hassan Massoudy are a subtle mix of present and past, oriental and occidental art, tradition and modernity. He perpetuates tradition while braking from it.
Scott Albrecht
Public School recently interviewed Scott Albrecht, an artist and designer now hailing from Brooklyn. His education was here in Philadelphia, but his work now has expanded to galleries throughout the country. I love that daydreaming cloud, I just want to give it a hug.
Phos Pictures
Thanks to a tweet from Chris Cashdollar, I am officially immersed in the film work of Eliot Rausch and Phos Pictures. It began with Last Minutes with Oden, and then Pennies Heart. One by one I came to see how incredible these films are. I can’t even begin to explain how wonderful, so just watch.
Greg Lamarche
Greg Lamarche creates some colorful collages with paper on a variety of mediums.
