I’m very happy to have recently stumbled across the work of French illustrator Gwenola Carerre. It makes me think Russian Constructivism meets children’s books. Throw in Carerre’s fun sense of storytelling and textured sense of design coupled with her glorious type and you’ve got a pretty fun viewing experience. Read more

My buddy Evah Fan just came back from her big show in Paris and it seems she made some pretty exciting discoveries while there, most notably the French artist Isabelle Boinot. It takes a good deal of clicking through her site to get your bearings, but once you manage to stumble into her main portfolio, the pastel tapestry of thumbnails greets you like an Easter egg hunt. Each image is a relatively simple vignette conveying some abstract concept, but it’s still that initial, coalescing view that really gets me.

I recently came across the work of French illustrator Tifenn Python. She is also showing at the current Young Blood show at New York’s Opera Gallery. What I love about her work is that it has a certain vibe to it that reminds me of some of the great masters like Lautrec and Shiele, which I’ve been drooling over these past weeks. Her work calls focus to the line, encourages simplicity, and bathes our eyes in colour. It also has a certain sense of comfortable melancholy, which feels familiar to me.

As music-related poster art has evolved over the last decade from Frank Kozik’s exploding grunge overload, Jason Munn must be its best progenitor. Read more
In my teenage years, I was a fanatical collector of Archie Comics, living my life vicariously through the mischevious misadventures of Archie, Betty, Veronica and the gang. Eventually I sold my collection to a high school friend, who bought several garbage bags worth of digests along with my prized Ozi skate deck. This vibrant artwork by Singapore-based designer Hanyi Lee takes me back to that time and I kinda wish that I’d kept the damn things, if only for a few more moments of saccharine sweet escapism within their apple pie, primary colour world.
Sydney indie heroes (in the nicest possible way), The Paper Scissors (TPS to those that know the secret handshake) have made a video for their new single, The Bandit. And it’s good. Damn good.

The hottest indie act around right now? Perhaps. Fullerton, California’s Cold War Kids not only have the slickest name going, but they have a batch of songs that are so good it’s frightening.
Ok, so that’s me up there on the right. Yup, rocking out in the 55DSL tee and feeling a little pleased with how it’s all going down. Well, actually, a disclaimer: it’s not … quite … me. I mean, I’m wearing the same shirt right now as he is, and I’m kinda the same height. But he isn’t the same person. We aren’t one. But I love this 55DSL shirt in the same way that he … ummm … loves himself. So I guess that we’re both damn happy. Read more
