Art by Committee 001
At the James Gurney blog they have a monthly art participation group where everyone illustrates a blip from a sci-fi book. Go check out Art by Committee if you get a chance. Lots of fun to see what everyone comes up with.
This months quote was:
“Behind the bar, polishing four glasses at the same time with his blue tentacles, was the Tookah. Two of his three eyes didn’t bother to look up, but it was the third one, the upper eye, the sleepy one that appears bored by everything but never misses anything. That one sleepily looked over at me and then blinked and opened wide.”
Here was my chicken scratch attempt:

Politicians In My Eyes
So there were 3 brothers with a band in Detroit in 76 playing music that sounded a lot like what they started calling punk a lot later.
Go read the NY Times article about the band, and be amazed at this story. The songs are really awesome, and i feel like a schmuck for not knowing about this. These guys totally deserve recognition and hopefully the Old Grey Lady can bring that to them finally.

CROM!
The following video features Gorbachev the Barbarian totally destroying zombie Communists and bringing the freedoms of the West to downtrodden babe-peasants. This is a promo video for a video game apparently.

American "Street Art" kinda sucks a lot. It has to have a 1% success rate in my head. There are some great things happening, but it seems like the vinyl toy market has really f-ed it up. Anyway, here is photographic evidence of the great lacking that is our "urban street art":
The artist is Gualicho (Pablo Harymbat) and his flickr is full of more magic.

HRMMM
After the "tour de force" that was Watchmen last Friday, which i am still not entirely sure about, I have been going through a rather hellishly busy work week.
I took a mental break and whipped this up this morning for my desktop...
I am totally digging the Orla Kiely stuff at Target, and this is blatantly inspired by that.
I have a much larger size if anyone is interested.

Tiny Cities Made of Ashes...
There is now a website for those without photoshop to allow you to achieve the tilt shift photography look you are yearning for. Now your ordinary shots of city skylines will be much more interesting. Just look what it did for this horrible mediocre shot I took:
