Damien Correll
I’ve followed Damien for years now and have always been motivated by his creativity and productivity. He’s left a solid trail of work behind him for clients like Urban Outfitters, Swindle, and Zoo York, and continues to blaze trails with Rad Mountain. Check out his recent interview with XLR8R:
Elms Lesters Painting Rooms | The Book
Gavin over at CR Blog just did a nice review/interview of designer Iain Cadby’s incredible book designs, including his latest: The Elms Lesters Painting Rooms. -Limited to just 1,000 copies, it’s a lavish affair: it comes packaged in a white, individually numbered screenprinted box. Removal of the dustjacket reveals an irridescent hardback cover, blind embossed, with iconography pertaining to the gallery and its artists. Within the book, the chronological cataloguing of various events is split into sections by smaller pages which serve to make the chapter divisions more evident. Interviews with the various artists also sit on smaller pages within the book, employing different stocks and coloured inks.- Iain has also designed books for the likes of Ron English, José Parla, DELTA, WK Interact, and more. Thanks to Jerrod for the heads up.
REBEL8 | MIKE GIANT
Mike Giant Rebel8. If you’re not familiar, you should be.
Check out some of his work here and here plus visit his site and blog.
Greg Lamarche | SP One
I’ve admired the work of Greg Lamarche since he was more widely known as (graffiti legend) SP One. Since then, he has made a very successful progression from graffiti, to a collage style he has perfected, consisting of a collection of diverse letterforms, typically in a bold palette, making them all work in harmony and creating a nice sense of depth. Much respect to his legacy and his current trail of beautiful work. I really need one of these New Hustle prints for my house:
Adorn | Eric Elms
One of the leading visual voices in the “Street Culture” world, Eric Elms updates his personal site Adorn with a crazy amount of amazing work, for a client roster that most would envy. I was fortunate enough to see some of his work in person at the Source Material group show at 222 Gallery in Philly back in ’07. Good stuff.
Keeps Me Sane | Darren Firth
My friend Darren just updated his personal site. It’s hard to keep up with this guy, he’s always into something amazing. From WIWP to Two Faced, to his studio, blog, tons of great print work, or building clean online experiences, he’s always producing incredible work. He’s been an inspiration to me, and is so good it actually makes me insane.
Antigirl | Tiphanie Brooke
Long time friend (and fellow hustler) Tiphanie Brooke – Nom de Guerre Antigirl - is simply never not working. Through the years Tiph and I have virtually grown up together, online and through our work since around 2002. Sometimes I feel like we are eachothers counterpart, she’s the girl version of Neuarmy and vice versa. I’ve always been impressed with her passion and drive as well as her ability to always reinvent herself through her work, but still remain consistent. One of the things that has always set Tiphanie apart is her handskills and craftsmanship. Along with creating beautiful collage work, as in her new Hearts series, Antigirl also produces limited runs of handmade journals, notebooks, and screenprints.
Always impressive, always on point, and steady on the grind.
Sailor Jerry
Great collection of tattoo flashes from Norman Collins, aka Sailor Jerry. The man many see as the father of the deftly crafted, boldly lined, balls-forward Old School Tattoo. The kind fueled by the devil-may-care appetites of men far away from home. Learn more.
