I grew up on The Misfits and I have no idea how I missed this print when it made its rounds last year. But better late than never...but mainly beacuse it is AWESOME. I think that I listened to I Want Your Skull about 1000x the first summer I heard it.
Dan Gneiding of Gray Hood is kind of genius for creating and pairing these pie charts. You can get your print here.

Gallerist, Jillian MacKintosh, introduces us to artists Treasure Frey and Kyle Jorgensen and walks us through their current (and so beurifully colorful!) show Chromatics and Canopies at Gallery Hijinks. ~meighan
Ribbons of warm color wrap the walls of Gallery Hijinks' January exhibition, Chromatics and Canopies. The two artists work, though slightly different in medium, both utilize the color spectrum organically with strong design and architectural influences. Both Scorpios, only one day apart in birthdays, Treasure and Kyle came in from out of town to install the show, make new friends, eat soup and play with our dog, Walter (of course).
You might expect something special to come from an artist with the name Treasure Frey. The minimal nature of her works draw on the space and the feeling of each composition. The walnut shell stained paper she dyes has the most beautiful texture. I once dropped a novel in the tub and when it dried the pages had a similar texture appearing delicately wrinkled. Treasure's paper is patched together much like a quilt, and floats freely within it's frame. The abstract design of acrylic ribbons feature all the colors of a rainbow. Treasure told us, "I used to live in Alameda, so when I took the bus across the Bay Bridge I would always see rainbows. I was really touched by the simple colors and space and the image has really stayed with me."
In the process of attending architecture school and taking art classes to get into architecture school, Kyle Jorgensen fell in love with painting. He professed, "I definitely paint like a print maker" which makes sense considering his training in printmaking. The layers of bold, flat color are set aside jagged lines of ink and an endless galaxy of midnight stars. In this series of work Kyle focuses on a simple theme of thought, contemplation as well as location.
Chromatics and Canopies is showing at Gallery Hijinks until January 28, 2012.

Back in March the folks over at Doodlers Anonymous asked their readers to draw original artwork for their studio walls -- they got a bunch of submissions, which you can see here, there are some great ones! They teamed up with Bilk and turned three of the designs into limited edition wall decals. I'll moving soon and I am loving the pink mesh! You can see the other two designs at DA.

“And Then...” is a collaborative photography project between photographer Jo Metson Scott and artist/set designer Nicola Yeoman. It's an on going project, if you read the New York Times you may remember seeing the Giant T on last falls style issue. Each photograph depicts an open narrative set in a wooded scene, whether it be a ghostly horse drawn carriage or a downed hot air balloon -- the series is ethereal, beautiful and thoughtful.

I am a big fan of the Cats Let Nothing Darken Your Roar Calendar, and they've just released their 2011 edition. Clever and design friendly. Perfect holiday gift for your font sensitive friends and design freak connoisseurs. It's super limited edition so don't be a scrooge. (Yep, it's November 2nd, I can officially start with the holiday lingo.)
