Before there was Neck Face, there was Bigfoot. Starting his work in 1994 on the streets of San Fransisco having being cut off from his Art School in California, this anonymous artist represents the beauty and tragedy of the entire natural world rolled into one. His latest project is a series of vinyl characters produced though cult favorite, Strangeco. [read about the Toy Giant book on vinyl toys]

I’ll admit it, on first listen and in a terrible figity mood, i jumped though the tracks, looking for the instant gratification of a big melody before switching to something else. Despite a few negative reviews from others also too quick to judge, the response to this album has been so astoundingly positive, it’s impossible to dismiss. Written after emerging from a period of social isolation and centered around issues of a man and his dying lover, The Antlers’ album, Hospice, slowly creeps up upon the listener. With delicately constructed chords and small movements, the journey of the album unravels loneliness, isolation and deep catharsis.
It takes guts to be simple. Overcrowding, overworking and over-thinking are far easier.

I can tell how much I like a designer by the the speed at which I bookmark their site. With Rob Lowe (aka Supermundane), it was on the home page. That’s a pretty good sign. Supermundane is a multi-disciplined creative who impressively creates all text himself for every project he does. Prepare yourself to be jealous.

Wow. The detailing in this vinyl is amazing; I prefer the brown one better though. And I absolutely love the “Swarm” 18″x24″ print.
