one of the personal blogs i check on the daily is for me for you. started by two friends to share things they love on the web and in the analogue life. i love the personality and fun on for me for you; stylish, arty and just a balanced amount of girly.
recently kate (the east coast side of the blog) posted about her boyfriend william steinman's work. i love the color and texture of william's work. there is an intensity w/ a raw, sexual undercurrent that is especially dope. his comic flesh grouping is my favorite, hands down. the presence of bright color is just right. super nice balance. william was heavily influenced by graffiti growing up, which later evolved into a passion for pop and contemporary art. i am continually excited by artists who have started out on the street w/ no reference of graffiti in their current work. it's refreshing, dynamic and different. not to mention, considering how popular graffiti and street art are in today's atmosphere, above all bold.
