Collaboration with Mahk

I recently completed a collaboration piece with the Japanese artist Mahk. This work is slated be hung at Compound Gallery here in Portland alongside a number of other collaborative pieces on the same sized panels of wood. More info to come about that...

Public Ad Campaign

Just checked out Public Ad Campaign for the first time in a while. Looks like my man Jordan has been keeping tabs on New York! Jordan is an outdoor artist and activist against the violation of public space by big time media and advertising companies.. Jordan recontextualizes outdoor public advertisements with his own artwork and/or ideas.. shining a light on the infringement of billboards and the barrage of advertising into our daily lives. He also fights against illegal billboards in New York City, and on his blog generally comments on new technology in outdoor advertising and media. It is a great campaign and opens up the discussion over what is public space, who owns it, and who has access to it.

Goodies!

My friend and designer in arms, Matt Moore, just sent me copies of his new book. One consists of all his black and white artwork on individual movable pages. The other is a color alphabet book essentially of letters of the alphabet he designed.. rad!

If anyone is interested, you can scoop your own here.
