Scott Avett & the 2011 Tour Poster
This is just… ugh. Incredible to see the work that goes into something like this. So much heart for the craft and just the workmanship that’s in it.
Hennessy Youngman “Art Thoughtz”
If you are not subscribed to Hennessy, I suggest you get on that (though be warned if you’re a little sensitive to bad language, you’re gonna blanch). Super watchable and kinda mind screwy, because although funny, they are some pretty sharp observations in there. How to make an art is another goodun. I don’t know why I love them. They just tickle some sad part of me.
Here’s an interview with him “Ali G With an MFA: Q+A With Hennessy Youngman” over at Art in America.
Prosthetic knowledge over on Tumblr got me hooked on him last week. And now, I pass the torch to you.
Simple. Gorgeous. Rad. The End.

It’s put me in a certain mood for the day.

Every person in NY
Jason Polan has a pretty big task ahead of him.
I am trying to draw every person in New York. I will be drawing people everyday and posting as frequently as I can. It is possible that I will draw you without you knowing it. I draw in Subway stations and museums and restaurants and on street corners. I try not to be in the way when I am drawing or be too noticeable. Whenever I have a new batch of drawings I will post them on this blog. If you would like to increase the chances of a portrait of YOU appearing on this blog please email me (art@jasonpolan.com) a street corner or other public place that you will be standing at for a duration of two minutes (I will be on the corner of 14th street and 8th avenue on the North-east corner of the street from 2:42-2:44pm this Thursday wearing a bright yellow jacket and navy rubber boots, for example). Please give me more than a 24 hour warning and please make it a scenario that is not too difficult for you to accomplish (the corner outside of the store you work at during lunch time, or in front of a museum you were going to go to on a Saturday) because I may unfortunately miss you and do not want you to have to invest more than 2 minutes of your time in case I cannot make it. You may or may not see me drawing you during this time. If I do draw you, you will see yourself (or rather, a drawing that hopefully somewhat resembles you) on this blog that evening.
When the project is completed we will all have a get together.

Mr Hopper: “I was a gallery bum”
You will be missed, but continue to inspire through your work and what you’ve left behind.

I’ve sat and watched advertisements being painted here in NYC. It’s mesmerizing. Love seeing some of the people responsible for them.

Nirvana baby’s an artist
Nirvana Baby, Spencer Elden from Barry O Donnell on Vimeo.
He’s currently working at Obey under the bossage of Shepard Fairey. He’s 19. It really doesn’t seem like that long ago that I bought Nevermind. Man, I’m gettin’ old.

Dear ad, I think I love you
UPDATE: They’ve gone and made the video Private. When it gets posted elsewhere, I’ll update the link.
It is very silly. Which is probably why I like it.

Cycles
I will say this again, Cyriak has a messed up beautiful brain. Reminded me to go back and watch this compilation.
Graffiti on. Graffiti off. And so it goes.
Serge Gainsbourg – animation des graffitis sur 5 ans du mur rue de Verneuil from Arnaud Jourdain on Vimeo.
This is just freakin’ rad! A 3D animation of the graffiti that has been and gone on the wall outside Serge Gainsbourg’s home over the past 5 years.
One Year in Cycling
Once again, a personal project rears its ugly head (which reminds me, I better get back on the Speed Poetry Challenge wagon!). This one involved looking at stats from a new passion of mine – cycling.
You can read a little about it here.

To be honest, I’m not entirely sure what’s going on. But it’s intriguing, to say the least.
