Okay, so...

This is an oldie and maybe my sense of humor is a little warped, but I find this act simply hilarious.
They're two guys from the UK, Mick and Maddy, who perform under the name Men In Coats.

Cover Band

Gallery One Nine Eight Eight recently asked just over 50 artists to pick one of their favorite LP album covers, and then use it as a canvas. They were asked not to do too much, but just put their little spin on things, creating a brand new piece of artwork from it. Presented by g1988 and Klipsch Audio, the results are pretty awesome. All the albums will be available for purchase, and they are all really affordable pieces. Fun little things to hang around the house, if you ask me.

Lately there's been a lot of debate in the art world about the over-saturation of group themed art shows, but as long as it keeps generating interesting ideas like this I'm all for it.

Here are two of my favorites from the show.

The Incomparable Doktor A (part deux)

There's not much to say about the latest piece by Doktor A just yet.
We don't even have a title at the moment, as the images below are just beginning to be leaked on the internet.

This much we do know. It's making its debut stateside on October 4th as part of the group show "Noxious Fumes" at our friends' Rivet Gallery in Columbus, Ohio.

Simply incredible...

The Incomparable Doktor A

There are certain things we can count on day in day out. 

For instance, if you ask vinyl collectors to name the top five customizers in the game, Doktor A will be on every list.
Through his numerous customs, Dok A has unfolded his alternate victorian-era mechanized universe.  We've seen armored suits, motorized air ships, and submersibles. Lately we're beginning to learn more about the commercial and entertainment aspects of this world. 

You’re looking at "Blavatski & Son's Automated Kismet Disseminator", a perfectly tuned prognosticating device which will be exhibited to wow the public at the MADL Citizens show opening on October 25th @ LIFT in the Detroit area.

This sweet fortune teller piece sucks us into his universe abuzz with wondrous machinery. The inclusion and execution of cleverly thought out details from the realistic levers and handles to the detailed printed instructions on the top of the device up the awe factor and increase believability. Beyond all of that though, the piece is FUN to look at and dream about. Finally, the cherry on top here is that Dok clearly loves his work and it shows in numerous ways including the humorous set of printed fortunes, including the sassy "You will purchase art from an English Man". Amazing work.

Just got my new business cards back from the printer.
Not much in the way of news I realize, but I'm really happy with the way they turned out.

"The Distance That Remains"

This is the latest painting for my upcoming "Blackwater Opera" show at DDR Projects Gallery in Long Beach, California on October 11th.
At 4' x 2' it's the largest piece I've done yet, and I am so very proud of it.

Megunica

Megunica (trailer below), is a wonderful, moving documentary about renown street artist Blu and his travels through Central and South America. Directed by Lorenzo Fonda, the film combines live-action documentary with mind-blowing animation similar to that found in Blu’s head-turning MUTO wall mural animation which spread like wildfire through the Internet. Please don't be fooled by the seemingly simple subject matter as described here. The film touches deeply on the peoples and cultures of these beautiful countries, and if you get the chance to see it, you won't be disappointed.

The film debuted on Tuesday September 23rd [8 PM] as part of the Cinema Tuesdays series curated by Flux @ Nike Sportswear at the Montalban in Hollywood, California.
