I was lucky enough to meet Austrian artist NYCHOS while I was out in Hawaii for POW WOW 2013. He was there doing an amazing mural alongside SoCal artist Jeff Soto, which was pretty amazing. Hypebeast did their latest episode of their great Pen & Paper series on him. [Watch Video]
This recent LA Times article “‘Wheaties’ artists get creative outside the box” by Hugh Hart takes a look at the current state of wheatpasted art here in LA. It’s great to see a focus on ABCNT (interviewed) featured, and the article also mentions CRYPTIK (interviewed) and Shark Toof too. I’ve not heard of wheatpaste artists as “wheaties” before so that was educational.
So young Jeff Hamada, of Booooooom fame, is putting together the “Ultimate List of all the Best Art + Photo Tumblrs to Follow.” Bam. If you’re new to Tumblr, Jeff has done your homework for you. If you have an art + photo Tumblr, now you know which list you need to be on.
Good morning. Here’s a new video from Cryptik, showcasing his installation at the Nike Vault space at LA Live, Downtown. The goal was to express the legacy of the Lakers through public art. Music by Bei Ru. [Watch Video]
I’ve posted a few videos with Hawaiian artist Jasper Wong speaking about his role in founding the incredible POW WOW annual art summit event. Here’s a great video featuring Jasper speaking about his own personal art. Via Hypebeast.
The super talented SF-based artist Aaron De La Cruz (interviewed) is just about to unveil a collaboration with sunglasses maker Look/See. I’ve thought Aaron’s work would translate onto a wide variety of products exceedingly well for some time now, so it’s great to see that idea reinforced here. Available this Friday, limited to 100 pieces.
This is kind of meta. A print called “The Artist” by Jeff Soto, the artist. So, a self-portrait of sorts, arguably, although I don’t see the resemblance, personally. I can speak from personal experience when I say if you don’t invest in one of your very own, you will regret it eventually. Lands at Prints on Wood this Thursday at noon.
I got to interview LA-based artist Ken Garduno for my day gig at Imprint Culture Lab today. Shout out to Fred Guerrero for the introduction! #burgerlords
I got to meet Yue Wu while out in Hawaii for POW WOW 2013. He noticed my Becomb watch and mentioned that he’d worked with Levi Maestro too. Small world. Jeff Hamada just posted this fun video about Yue and his great work over on Booooooom. [Watch Video]
Here’s a video from LRG about talented Australian artist couple DabsMyla who have relocated to Los Angeles. I’ve been lucky enough to see them paint in Long Beach (during Agenda) and in Hawaii (during POW WOW). Via Booooooom.
