Reader Love: Jane O'Sullivan.

Jane O'Sullivan has been a reader from the get. Jane updates me every couple of months with wildly positive emails of what she is up to and working on. Recently she graduated, finishing up with her first exhibition. She sent this piece 'Always Believe', I think it's gorgeous and I wanted to share it with you guys

Macho Mel.

You may recognize Brooklyn based artist Macho Mel's work, as she has made cover art for such bands as Coco Rosie and Bunny Rabbit. Recently chatting with Mel over email she told me that she is actually color blind, so she doesn't use color a ton, but that she loves tie-dye and if she could paint in it she would.

Jason Bought a Hatchet.

Damien Weighill just completed his first animated video, co-directed with Steven Wake for Giggle Party's song Jason Bought a Hatchet. BE WARNED...it's NOT for the faint of heart and probs NSFW. But if you don't shudder easily it's pretty hilarious and catchy. Damien said they made sure to cover all the Rock n' Roll cliches: dancing robots, decapitation, Mother Teresa, unicorns, pirates, Hitler and Sir Trevor McDonald.

Limited edition Other prints.

Honestly, I wouldn't even waste your time reading what I've written as Other's prints will go so fast. But just in case you like to tempt fate...Artist Other moved to NYC recently to work on a hand bound and printed book. It's proved to be a little more scrilla than he expected so to raise funds to finish the book he's printed a short run of prints in three different colors:

Each print is a 12"x13" hand printed, two colored, linoleum cut. Printed on 100% cotton somerset satin paper and signed and numbered, only one hundred are up for sale for $100.00 USD shipping included anywhere in the world.

Along with the prints I've posted some of the work Other has done on freight trains, simply because it rules.
