Without Reason

Without Reason is a limited edition art book dedicated to the roots and lifestyle of street culture, capturing the works of graffiti artists, painters, designers, illustrators, photographers and tattoo artists from Australia, USA, canada, and the UK. In two words..GET IT!

Imagini Gift Finder

All I'm gonna say is that this has helped me get some ideas for what gifts to get peeps...I found this over at Josh Spear's site and it is definitely useful. Rad.

Flisky

Nathan Gray is ,yet, another designer with a long scroll website portfolio. Who started that madness anyway? His list may be scarce for now and maybe it's not even that special...but it's clean and designed well.Some nice little logo explorations as well. Peep it if you're just wandering. Otherwise, (not usually a Starbucks guy) try the Gingerbread Latte..Nice in this chilly weather.

MadeForYouEveryday

Richard Arifin was born in Jakarta and at the ripe age of 22 he is putting new meaning to the word "details." He is currently an art director for ThinkingRoom, a Jakarta based Ideation Company...and it's easy to see why. It's not easy to busy up the screen these days and still be coherent and tasteful. His stuff works..it's fun, intricate, and is the stuff of T-shirt legend...Print them all! Reminds me, I need to print mine. Ugh.

Chiho Aoshima

I'm sure, by now, you have all seen the amazing prints that Chiho Aoshima has been touring around the globe. The 31 year old Tokyo digital artist has a collection of works currently at Blum & Poe in Santa Monica (Not sure if it's still there). I'll keep this one short but peep the stuff and salivate over which print you want to buy to put in your studio. A signed one for me please...Grazi.

BettySmile

Not much information on the artist, BettySmile, but I'm guessing there is a french angle here although the header states she is a Graphic Designer out of Morroco. Here we go again with the Frenchers...but nevertheless, they are churning it out. Cycle through her work...very beautiful and detailed forms with a very nice sense of space and color. They would make a very cool postcard collection...then I can send them all out for christmas...oh man, gotta get gifts before I bail..Help!

Weekly Hits Home

Another blog, Another day...But this time, SoCal's own resident hipster and designer executive of BL:ND, Chris Do (Yeah, same name...Let's not go there), gets a feature and cover in this week's LA Weekly Newspaper. Respect. Check out the article and give a shout out. Hope all had a great Turkey Weekend! Cheers.
