Michael, Kevin & Geoff
New works on paper from three old friends in Los Angeles—Michael Leon, Kevin Lyons and Geoff McFetridge. Opening this Saturday.
One Every Day
Through December 19th, catch the One Every Day show at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts. Curated by Printeresting, the show is a collected of printed ephemera from the likes of Megawords, Kate Bingamin-Burt, Colby Bird, Adam Pendleton, Dexter Sinister and many more.
The Event
Starting on Wednesday in Eastside, Birmingham, is not just an event, but The Event, a five-day contemporary arts festival. Events within the event include artist Mark Essen's roaming record exchange, an on-site creation of the seventh issue of An Endless Supply, and a performance of "and you shall know us by the trail of Morris Men," where the Morris Men will escort the audience from venue to venue and kick off the proceedings with a dance.
Burobeluga
Burobeluga does some of the most amazing, whimsical, dreamy window design we've ever seen. How much do you want to just move in and live in their world?
Jesse Spears
Jesse Spears is currently subletting my friends house in LA who has literally 20 huge stacks of vintage Easyriders magazines and so it's no surprise that she claims her latest painting was inspired by her. I'm sure the magazines didn't hurt either. These are the kind of incredible drawings that end up as the raddest tattoos. -Jen
Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History
Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present opens today at the Brooklyn Museum. One of the first major museum shows to give rock 'n' roll photogs their due, this is something we can't wait to check out.
You Weren't There
This week, Factory 25 releases You Weren't There: A History of Chicago Punk 1977-1984, a documentary which features unseen footage from Articles of Faith, Mentally Ill, Negative Element, Tutu and the Pirates, Jeff Pezzati, Rights of the Accused and Steve Bjorklund. Catch the limited-edition, and it includes a screen-printed posters and a 20-track vinyl EP.
Eddie Borgo Pumpkin DIY
Style.com gives you a DIY-tutorial on how to make jeweler Eddie Borgo's bad-ass studded pumpkin. This is way to cool to set out on the porch.
Eyola
Not Just A Label continues to blow our mind and introduce us to new out-of-this-world labels. For example: Eyola, a Victorian-inspired collection from fashion designer Ayole, who once worked for Alexander McQueen. This Anima Octave jacket would make a stunning Halloween outfit all on it's own. Haute stuff, for sure.
Bless
Every single thing that design duo Bless offers up is amazing madness. These lake bedsheets turn your bedroom into summer camp, and the video for their N 39 Heart Ringers is more modern dance/performance art than fashion presentation.
William Boone's New Zine
You have to be insane not to strike quick and grab yourself a copy of William Boone's new zine. He is one of my complete and total favorite artists around and you need to go spend an hour sorting through all of his posted work ASAP. Then try to get one of the limited zines. -Jen
Woolly Pockets
Woolly Pockets are breathable garden containers that make it easy to build vertical gardens and landscape walls, ceilings, furniture, and rooms full of naked people.
Box and Flea
A small collaborative line started by two architects from Virginia, Box and Flea's beautiful bandanas and totes are handprinted at the Pencil Factory in Greenpoint.
Shinichi Maruyama
Shinichi Maruyama's precise photographs of water and ink-droplets are stunning in both their beauty and technical dexterity. How does he do that? (Via How We Develop.)
Warpaint "Stars"
A perfect pre-Halloween video—haunting and beautiful at the same time.
Project Rooms
Izrock Mixed Business's latest offering is Project Rooms, a zine of drawings from Mark Whalen/Kill Pixie.
Sketch2Photo
Sketch2Photo, which takes a labeled sketch and turns it into a photo montage, is mind-blowing, to say the least. (Via Kottke.)
