The Society Of The Spectacle

After my Pokemon post earlier on in the week, here’s another illustration based project, this time raising money for Haiti. Artists, David Choe, Sam Flores, Estevan Oriol, Grotesk, Jeremy Fish, Patrick Martinez, Alex Pardee, Dora Drimalas, Munk One, N8 Van Dyke, Rene Alamanza, Morning Breath and Skinner Davis have created their own unique spin on the artwork for one of my favourite films of last year. Inglorious Basterds. There are some amazing creations here, with lots of diverse styles. Check out some faves after the jump. (more…)

One(s) to watch. Some more observations after the jump. (more…)

First off – shout out to @pworthington for this find.  This is the work of Photographer/Artist Chris Jordan.

Love this look. Reminds me a bit of So-Me crossed with Jack Kirby. There’s some more in-depth info here, and his own Ebay store here…

Now i’m sure everyone is familiar with the Shepard Fairey HOPE poster, but a whole industry has seemingly sprung up in it’s wake. This cottage industry is comprehensively documented over at The Obama Art Report. The quantity of art that Obama mania has induced is pretty staggering, and a large scale selling network on Ebay is now firmly established. Take a peek. It’s worth the effort…
