Less Talk More Rock

May 30, 2010 | In Art, Inspiration

SuperBrothers wrote a really nice article recently on the creative process and figuring out ways to leap frog the typical ‘discussion’ phase in most peoples creative process that waters down the fun of your ideas. Just skip that part. Go straight from inspiration to the MAKE STUFF part.

I’m definitely guilty of overcalculating my projects and things.

And this is a fun little doc on Pixel Art.

Evan Hecox – Recent Works

May 24, 2010 | In Art, Inspiration

So Evan Hecox has been a hugely inspiring artist for me since before I knew his name when he was doing graphics for Chocolate Skateboards. He’s gone from doing work there to being quite a successful fine artist and continues to create body after body of interesting and subtley maturing work.

The last two shows (I believe) he put out were one here in LA at Kinsey Desforges in 2008 all about photos he took on a trip to Mexico DF and another trip he took to Vietnam whose show opened in NY last year I believe.

And he’s successful enough that bothering with updating his portfolio website surely comes in last to his family and just making art (as it should be I’d say). But with his recent collaboration with incase I mentioned a second ago, THEY made him a nice little showcase with reasonably sized images of recent work and even some really nice downloads of work used for the collab.

For All My Droogs

A friend of mine Thomas over here at Imaginary Forces made a poster based on Alex from Anthony Burgess A Clockwork Orange and apparently Malcolm McDowell likes it. I might just have to purchase one.

So last saturday I got the chance to shoot some photos as this gorgeous ’73 ’71 Volkswagen Fastback changed hands from one of my best friends to another one of my best friends. What a pretty car.

Have a look at the whole set.
