Billboard Grows Bacteria & Mold Cultures To Promote Contagion Movie
Good movie. Go see it.
Continuing with my report from the prev post.
This is my fav list pt.2 from the time I went to Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago.
Some of the pictures seriously scare me but others I really like. Like those really tall mountains and the pink elephants.
Jay Ryan. Too famous to even explain who he is. I like the overall art style, especially the use of colors. I went to his show at Rotofugi in April (?) and I didn’t like what he was showing there, but I’d love to own his prints some day.
I’m usually not attracted to this type of art style because it’s scary :( But some of the pictures I saw at the booth really moved me. It’s hard to explain how I feel. Kind of like Pinky and the Brain. Ugly and cute at the same time. Funny and sad at the same time.
Pop and fun.
Cute and cuddly like how a childhood should be!
The Little Friends of Printmaking
Consistently awesome and clever designs. Much to learn from their use of lines, shapes and colors.
These characters are your baby’s friends :)
Very good artist. I wonder he studied animation. Most kids I know who came from animation draw like that.
Something really awesome is happening amongst these characters. They make me excited about character designing. Also, I like him a lot because he gave me a sticker :)
Cakes with faces! Yup, that’s my kind of world!
I’m NOT into jewelry. At all. But she’s doing some pretty awesome things with tiny and interesting thingies and resin. They are like small and quiet worlds, still but alive.
I can be good friends with people who “get” this. Tiny worlds of moss and people who are doing things. How trying to explain them makes them sound so boring…
Felt penises :D ‘nuf said
I almost don’t really care what the cream puffs taste like (I’m sure they taste sooo very good). The logo is f’ing awesome!!! And the name!!! I want that t-shirt the staff were wearing.
Cuteness in a simple style. Rice cooker ear studs? Want!
Hello Kitty + Star Wars
What more do we really need? This has got to be the end…
I went to the Renegade Craft Fair Chicago 2011 in Wicker Park on Sep 10th. It was so much fun and inspirational with the coolest toys, clothing, jewelry, art and whatever else handmade.
Here is the list of my favorites from the fair:
Make Your Own Hipster Plush Bear by Let’sBeFriends
Hipster bears? Yes, please!
The cuteness overload! My art can totally be friends with these guys :) The owner/designer is very charming just like her lovely characters!
Dolls made with beautiful and unique fabrics. Some of the dolls have tats!
Simple yet refined art style
Beautiful colors. Makes me feel “free”. The art style reminds me of my good friend Thais Beltrame’s.
The Maple Ridge by Andrew Zangerle
These super-sculpey figurines are the bomb! There were more couples in various styles at the booth. They really moved me.
Not pretentious and makes me feel good about being an artist. Reminds me that art is about liberating.
I can’t be friends with anyone who doesn’t like the idea of walking around with cute monster horns and fur… AND there’s a bird perched on one of the horns! Aaaaagh! I can’t take this awesomeness! Must have one!
I will pick up to finish the list tomorrow (if not very soon)…
