The Team Gallery is showing some more terrific photos by Ryan McGinley. The fact that some shots resembled an Abercrombie catalogs with skinnier models does nothing to take away from their subversively wholesome nostalgic perviness. The opening was packed full of trendy types all secretly wishing they were naked teenagers laughing on a trampoline in the late summer sun.

The NYT interactive history of the Mad Magazine’s famous back page fold-in. Al Jaffee has been turning out these since the early 1960’s and folding the impressionable minds of many young creative types in the process.





Spoiler : Spiro Agnew gets dissed !

... from Chinatown, NYC. I can’t read what the sign says, but I’d imagine it has something to do with a new KAWS toy.

I worked on a series of patterns for the Gravis company last year and was pleased to see they made good use of my geographical weather-map camo. It appears on both genders of baggage in a couple different colors all viewable here . I’ll give a more passionate endorsement when I receive some samples and make sure they look okay. Thanks Amy & Brett !

Walnut Wallpaper is a gallery/store in Los Angeles that deals in the inspired, brave, and arty. They recently hosted an event to commemorate the launch of Geoff McFetridge’s righteous new line of wallpaper, Pottok. Most of the pictures here have been shoplifted from the always informative Kitsune Noir blog. Much thanks to Bobby S.

I did a spot illustration for the ‘Obsessions’ column by Alex Kuczynski for the latest issue. The obsession this month was curly eyelashes.

WPA Syphilis Awareness poster campaign. Happy Valentines Day.

After a bizarre series of arcane rituals I was finally inducted into the illlustrious Tank Theory Artists Society with the creation of three new t-shirts designs. This is one. More here and here.

I received my copy of Illusive 2 by Die Gestalten not too long ago. It’s a collection of contemporary illustrations and is a pleasing orange color. Especially recommended to open minded art directors with massive budgets. Big thanks to Henni.

Jeff Scher‘s latest animation is an amazing stop-motion micro-ballet in black and white. Part of Sightlines, the New York Times Op-Ed visual series.  You might need to be registered, but totally worth it.

New show opening tomorrow night at the OpenSpace gallery Beacon, NY with a lot of printed matter from many different print makers. Including work by Cody Hudson, Evan Hecox, Gunsho, Travis Millard, Andy Rementer, The Artist Guide and scads more. I included some prints made by Upper Playground a while back. I hear there’s a second opening in January… I plan on attending that one and will bring home some installations views then.
