I rather like the throwback illustration and photo style; the work's sense of humor is a plus too.

There are some nice examples of contemporary window displays posted on My Modern Metropolis, including this one at Louis Vuitton.

I was at Carl Solway Gallery a few weeks back, and was really impressed with this installation piece by Brooklyn-based artist Jason Rogenes. "Stargazer 5.10," is made from manufactured Styrofoam packing inserts, and backlit with florescent tube lighting.

Not only a really nice illustration style, but a solid use of media to boot.

I really dig Houston-based Elaine Bradford's work; it's a great combination of fascinating, funny, creepy and altogether unexpected. I won't even attempt to describe it any better than what's on her site..."Her most recent work involves crocheting sweaters for taxidermied animals."
That's some quality stuff right there.

Things Magazine, which is outstanding in its own right, has assembled a fantastic archive of Pelican book covers produced from the 1930s through the 1980s. Certainly worth a bookmark.

If you're into hand-drawn animations and cartoons, then you'll probably find this video on Disney's Multiplane camera pretty darn interesting. The man himself presents the segment and explains the technology.
Thanks to Shawn for passing this along.

Los Angeles-based Nylon has some really interesting motion and animation work. I'm particularly giddy about the "Typographic Landscape" piece created for IDN Magazine.

Beautiful new promo trailer for the Sy Fy Channel by London-based 4Creative. It's an outstanding piece of work.

Bear with me on this one. First, Click Here to read a review of my two-person exhibition at Carriage Estate Gallery in London Ontario. Make sure you peruse the review before you read any further...
Did you read it?
Seems like an interesting show, huh? It is entirely 100% phony. Seriously.
I have never heard of, or exhibited at Carriage Estate Gallery. I was not familiar with, nor have ever spoken with the other artist, Jenny Kanzler.
I'm not sure whether to feel insulted or flattered, and I can't decide whether to treat this as a joke or a serious offense. Why anyone would go through the trouble of researching and writing a 700-word essay for a fake art exhibition seems to be the 64,000 dollar question.
Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated. I can only guess that Jenny was unaware of this show as well, so if you would like to check out her work, the link is provided below.

I've been blog tinkering the past few days, having added three subtle but useful new features. Each post will now offer a bookmark and share feature, to quench all your bookmarking and sharing needs.
If you look to the north, there is now an easy-to-use RSS feature located in the main address bar, this should eliminate all your feed needs. And last but not least, the option to receive new posts by email is now available (a permanent link for email opt-in is now located in the sidebar), or you can click here.

I dig the style of New York-based artist John Copeland; his paintings, drawings and sketchbooks make for an impressive body of work.
