I like these. That is all.

Missed Connections

For the past year, Sophie Blackall has been illustrating missed connections from craigslist. It’s a really fascinating concept- taking a really private experience that’s been publicized on the internet, and calling it out from the giant jumble of subway glances and inordinary coincidences that populate missed connections. Really entertaining to flip through and take a look at all of them.

There’s plenty more where these came from.

What a neat idea! I almost wish there were people visible in some of these.

Shintaro Ohata

These sculpture/painting combinations by Shintaro Ohata are great.

Most pieces look like a frame from an elaborate, monochromatic stop-motion film, right? Maybe some day in the future we’ll see these sculptures in action.

Kendrick Kidd

Some of you will immediately understand why I was drawn to this. Not just for the ever important awesome-artwork-on-beer-label factor, but also, that’s a MANATEE. A sea cow. A floating lump of blub. The least exciting animals on the face of the planet have found a happy little home on the brown bottle of an IPA from Bold City Brewery in Jacksonville, FL. I like it, and Kendrick Kidd completes the set with a colorful collection of labels and tap handles.

After spotting this identity for Farmers Fare, I dug around Decoder’s site a bit more. They have some great work:

Look! More!

Eric Zener

Yup, I’ve probably posted about Eric Zener before. Ever since I saw his work in Chelsea, he hasn’t left my brain. He’s mastered the art of painting photorealistic studies of movement. In the form of water, bedding, you name it. But every scene he paints is somewhere you want to be. Right?

Cristiana Couceiro

I’ve posted about Cristiana before (2 years ago), but WOAH. Wooooah woah woah. I saw this (above) today and had to stare at it for a while, because it’s everything I love. Black, white, and a third color (yellow!), type, old imagery, and a really dynamic composition. Her work just keeps blowing me away.

Her flickr has more work.

How had I not SEEN this?! Must’ve missed grain edit’s post in May. Le sigh.

Cripes, there’s some great work here. It’s modernly retro. Originally replicated. I don’t know, they make me want to see so, so much more.

I think posters are his strong point, but feel free to take a look at more.

Silver Screen Society

I love this idea. Love it. Silver Screen Society brings together contributors every month to celebrate and be inspired by the wonderful world of cinema. What results is some really great work:

Andrew Kolb for Monocle

Cody Haltom for I Heart Huckabees

Aaron Bloom for Get Carter

Justin David Cox for O Brother Where Art Thou?

Richard Perez for The Third Man

Check in every month, it seems like it’d be worth the trip.
