Posted: March 22nd, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Graf | No Comments »
My brother Chris has been uploading loads of old skate & BMX pics to facebook which makes me realise how much I miss skating, particularly at spots like this at St Newlyn East (RIP) and (not pictured but still alive) Playing Place.

Jeremy Fish has been designing skateboards, t-shirts, vinyl toys, album covers, periodical illustrations, murals, and sneakers.

The artwork is mainly about storytelling and communication, told through a library of characters and symbols—with an emphasis on finding a balance with the imagery somewhere between all things cute and creepy.

Itchin’ your ash.

Love these from Ha, a super talented Chinese urban artist, who paints images of people scratching themselves to explain the current living state of the Chinese people:

“In today’s fast growing China, people are overly concerned with economic development and personal gain. This leads to an insatiable desire to make more money or gain more power over the competition, co-workers, friends and family members. As there is no clear winner in this race, I view this as an itch that no matter how much you scratch, it never goes away.”

I WANT, I WANT, I WANT…

To buy, try here http://bit.ly/cETPlh and here http://bit.ly/a8Vz3W.

Until next time.

Hello Heiko

Posted: March 22nd, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Graf | No Comments »

Hi HeikoI stumbled across Heiko Windisch's site at www.thestateofthings.de today, there's a really friendly logo that drew me in, almost as effectively as the 'Don't Panic' logo on your nearest space travellers' copy of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I gave the film version of that all-time classic of radio and sci-fi literature, it still sucks, the radio series wipes the floor with it. Anyway, way off point, so besides the friendly logo I was treated to a wide selection of strangely bitter sweet illustrations. The sort you'd expect to see in an antique children's book, not you'll find many antique children out there, I was of course referring to the book :/

Anyway, think Hansel and Gretel after a doobie or two and pepper the occassional drawing with a piquancy of neon pink and yellow and blue and you're starting to get the Heiko philosophy. Friendly but weird, strange but beguiling, mad but with a logic of its own, take a stroll through Heiko's world…

Here's a little more about Heiko Windisch. He's an illustrator and visual artist based Heidelberg, Germany who's been working since 2005 to gain experience. His role has included an editorial illustrator for publications such as The Common Review and ZEIT Magazin. He's shown his work in Los Angeles, New York, Sydney and Zürich and made apparel designs for Threadless in Chicago and graniph in Tokyo. In 2008 he was chosen to be on the short list of the Young Illustrator Award at the Illustrative festival in Zürich.

He's a friendly guy with plenty of respect on the scene, he's open to cool collaborations and will I'm sure keep knocking great works like these for years to come! Check out the rest of Heiko's portfolio at www.thestateofthings.de and if you want more check out his blog.
