The Dunk by Pippen. Great interview with Pip talking about that nasty epic jam he put on ole long armed Ewing. Those were some epic match ups!

NEW! DIGITAL! PRINTS!
Once again the fine folks from Buy Olympia are taking good care of me. I’ve reworked some old pieces and created some new ones that are now shipping as archival inkjet prints. The fancy people call it Giclée, but some dude totally made up that term to make it seem more official. (Which these prints are)

Grateful that someone else (Ashley!) posted this for me. Thanks to Matt Connors the Memphis Group is all up on my mind as well!
I’ve just started to do research on the list of things on Matt Connors’ mind right now and immediately came to the Memphis Group. Even with a design background, I somehow had never come across this group of designers and now I’m in love. Maybe it’s because I’m a child of the 80’s and I’m feeling nostalgia or because Postmodernist design is having a resurgence of popularity, who knows. Anyway, I thought I’d do a quick rundown on the group:
The Memphis Group was founded by Ettore Sottsass in 1980 and they designed furniture and architecture that was a combination of Postmodernism, kitsch motifs and gaudy colors. Their unique designs created an interesting mixture between high brown and low brow designs. My favorite quote to describe the work is a “shotgun wedding between Bauhaus and Fisher-Price”. The group created influential work from 1980 - 1987 and during this time the design community’s opinion on them was quite polarized. Some people absolutely loved the freedom and playfulness of their designs while others loathed the gaudiness.
In preparation for Matt Connor’s visit I’m also having the book he mentioned “Memphis: Research, Experiences, Results, Failures, and Successes of New Design” delivered from the library.

Weird mashup of late 90s Bulls highlights, mostly Rodman, mixed with All Alone by The Gorillaz.

Finally spent some solid hours in my studio at school.
Wandering & Wondering - Supposedly humans are equipped with a powerful intellectual capability. I’m not sure if I am ready to test that theory, but this new grouping of work is documenting the process of discovery.
It is also starting an internal dialogue, a dialogue between the individual pieces, and explores the role of curator by incorporating pieces from my friend’s collaborative zine (Anthony Zinonos x WAFA). I’m interested in seeing how different mediums interact with type driven pieces and what connections are made between the content. The display style is deliberately crude, but in a gallery setting would only slightly be modified by framing some of the elements.
The line drawings were created with a limited colored pencil palette that’s intentionally primitive with a loose reference to the google tool. You know, the internet search engine. Anyways, by listening to music and flowing with the vibe I’m creating these drawings and trying to reduce abstract ideas and feelings to simple forms. I aim to keep drawing in this method until I have a pile of them to sift through.
note: not sure how I ended up with so many chairs.

Brian DeGraw is a visual artist (Whitney Biennial 2008, James Fuentes 2011) and musician (plays electronics in Gang Gang Dance) that has an incredible energy to his work. There’s a strong tribal influence and visually he isn’t limited by a particular medium.
Recently he performed an hour long dj set at WFMU, and you can stream it out over on mudd up! It’s going to be my studio companion over the weekend.

Excited to go to my first Blazers game tonight! They’re facing Kobe & the Lakershow, but I sure wish it was the 90s Bulls or The Admiral in these socks.

Had a blast working on this tee design! Those fellas at OMFGco are some funny geniuses. Thanks Kate for doing my bloggin’ for me…
My buddies Will Bryant and OMFGco put together a cringe inducing, yet AWESOME shirt with a solid, never forget message: HAIL SAFETY! Edition of 30 and proceeds go to the ever awesome ADX!
