Local Austin Jewelry Designer

I like stuff. Do you like stuff? Here's a link to a friend's jewelry design website. I have a pacman necklace made by her. It's good to support local people trying to make it. So buy this stuff!

Artist: Cooksey - Talbott

This artist studied under Ansel Adams. I love the natural landscape in this format. Here is his website. This work is similar to Japanese ink on silk paintings - which I am huge fan of.

Vintage Posters - They're Mine!

I spent my weekend taking photos of some vintage posters from J's mom. The collection is pretty fantastic. She was an airline stewardess in Puerto Rico in the 60's. Poster artists include Homar, Klein, and TuFino. Some of them are signed and numbered. I apologize for the crooked imagery - my photography skills are sub-par. Some of the posters were rolled so I had to use knives to weigh them down. I emailed someone to get a rough estimate of what their worth. Maybe I'll never have to work again!

Austin Events: RESET / PLAY

A friend sent this to me, it's an art exhibition that integrates video game influences. It starts tomorrow at the Arthouse in Austin.

The video game as a medium and a style of life has reached its middle age along with the first generation of people who grew up playing them. The non-linear, interactive, processor based narratives, which at first mimicked Hollywood and struggled to convey their simple content with 8-bit processors, gradually became the largest entertainment industry in the history of electronic media. RESET/PLAY is a critical exploration of contemporary art inspired by video games. Questioning the history, control mechanisms, political and art-historical implications of electronic games, RESET/PLAY assembles a formidable group of international artists who are making a significant impact on this growing post-game artistic sub-genre. Artists include Cory Arcangel, Michael Bell-Smith, Mike Beradino, Brody Condon, Alex Galloway, JODI, Guthrie Lonergan, Kristin Lucas, Joe McKay, Michael Smith, Eddo Stern and Keita Takahashi.

Director/Animator: Adam Bizanski

I'm a big fan of the shins. Adam Bizanski was the creator of their video for "Pink Bullets"
It's very cool. Here's his portfolio. Link

Artist: Banksy

I really like the graffiti artist Banksy. He uses his art to make statements with limited imagery and uses the environment to communicate his ideas. If anything he's the best kind of graphic designer, only with an unusual media and nothing but social commentary to express. Link

Artist: Levi van Veluw

I like this artist. He uses his face and neck for his canvas. His ideas are simple, but fun and creative. Click the photo for his website.
