sam gibbons

i've been meaning to make this post for a while now. first, because this is some of the most fascinating art pieces that i've seen, and second because i've known the artist himself since i was a wee little 9 year old as he is my cousin's good friend from high school.

Sam Gibbons launched his art career in NYC a while back, and has been successfully featured in art magazines and exhibitions over the years. you can very easily get lost in the intricacy of his work, and the detail he adds to these darker images.

here is an except about his work: "Employing imagery that was originally intended to entertain and pacify, Gibbons' paintings are at war within themselves. The typical role of the cartoon is subverted; these benchmarks of inexperience are engaged in violent and sexual acts. Acting as allegories for the loss of innocence, Sam Gibbons' paintings exist as a complex and beautiful mimicry of the human condition."

viral paper

a very inspiring video about what it means to simply "make art." no instructions, just a gathering of creative minds and a little bit of paper. Viral paper +
Le Creativ Sweatshop is developing a viral art concept based on graphic elements propaganda.
The 1st installation is the seed for a youth that will develop itself to mature within the next months.
In this performance, the virus is at the 1st stage of his mutation, it is the beginning of an infected nest, the preamble of our graphic pandemic.

vintage printage

so, in case you didn't know, i am kind of obsessed with vintage memorabilia. mainly because i wish i were alive in the 1950s.

i found an amazing site called plan59 that has TONS of old vintage ads. it was so hard to select from this massive pool of archives, but i chose some sample prints that really capture the essence and style of this time period.
