I had the pleasure of stumbling into Flinders Lane Gallery earlier in the week to encounter the work of Terri Brooks. Seeing is believing.
GO FONT UR SELF* is dedicated to exploring and pushing the diverse range of techniques employed in type design of past, present and future through original pieces of work from talented typographers worldwide. Great site and interesting blog. Exhibition of works by the likes of Mike Perry and Emil Kozak opening this coming thursday at Don’t Come in Melbourne.
Some interesting minimal painting devices here from artist Richard Roth.
We’ve just got back a fantastic job from the printer and the bookbinder. A catalogue of works from the Wardlow gallery artist in residence Stephan Balleux.
The book is 74 pages, pad bound with a thick leather cover; embossed with a black foil, handmade by the clever folks at Irwin & McLaren. It’s a real pleasure to work with craftsmen (and women!) who are dedicated to preserving the tradition and craft of binding.
Regino Gonzales is primarily a tattoo artist by trade but also has an amazing set of paintings on his site. See Regnyc.com.
Amazing, jewellery and other crafted objects here at Black Sheep and Prodigal Sons. Especially The Abandoned Comb Amulet which has been created to highlight the mass dissappearance of honey bees worldwide.
I’ve got a pair of hand painted skate decks in this years No Comply skate deck art show. The show includes 170 individual pieces by 80 artists. Launch party is this Friday the 7th of November, 7pm until 10pm at No Vacancy Gallery, Red Cape Lane, QV, Melbourne. For all the details see the No Comply site. — Andy
Wilkintie is a new project from our mate Niels and his wife Carly. “This project evolved from a love of letterpress printing and a desire to collaborate with the amazing artists we discover in our day-to-day lives. We also recognise that we are part of a community of grown-ups who love the imagination, whimsy and joy of illustration for children.”
Niels (aka Nails) is having a solo art show that open at Lamington Drive in Melbourne this Thursday. Should be good.
We’ve just updated and refreshed our personal sites with some new bits and pieces from behind the scenes. See Forcetwelve and seven-nine.
