Blossom Buddies

Elsa Mora is a Cuban artist that grew up poor, but only in the material sense of the word. She was and is emotionally rich because she was surrounded by the most fascinating and supporting people in her life, including her autistic son Diego who is a driving force in her life and work daily. Her outlook […]

37 Posters

Graphic design x typography x movies = 37P. Combine these three aspects and you get the amazingly clever series of posters from 37 Posters. Each poster depicts a visual icon from a movie filled with the simple text of great lines from that film, with one or two gems in the forefront. The gallery quality Giclée print on natural white, matte, […]

The Not so Final Frontier

It seems like everyone is obsessed with escaping the chains of gravity and sending terrestial objects into the heavens. A Brooklyn father and son team recently sent a balloon toting camera to the literal edge-of -space. Apparently now Aussie indie rockers Tame Impala want in on some of the X-Prize inspired action. Their new vid […]

Type of Art

Click-click-click-click-click-ding! The sound of a typewriter. A pretty uncommon sound these days, unless you’re Keira Rathbone. Rathbone uses her vintage 1960’s typewriter and types letters, numbers, and punctuation on the keyboard repetitively onto a piece of paper to create some pretty impressive art. The letters and symbols that are used in place of brushstrokes become unrecognizable and only beautiful enigmatic images are […]

Along with paintings, Lister creates mini-masks, shields and swords, which are all for sale at The Standard shop, each as individual pieces of art, acrylic on […]

Cut it Out

No, these are not stenciled. This is the art of leaf cutting from Nature’s Art in China. Natural leaf carving is actual manual cutting and the intricate removal of a leaf’s surface to produce an image. The process of carving is performed by artists using tools to carefully remove the surface without cutting or removing the […]

Fold and Play

From the green people at OrigAudio, comes an innovative project combining tunes and technology with environmentally friendly material. Fold & Play Recycled Speakers are portable, self-powered speakers made entirely of the recycled cardboard from old newspapers, phone books, and pizza boxes – both the packaging and the outside of the speaker itself. As the name suggests, the speakers […]

Kap Bambino- Batcaves

It’s a good thing for batcaves… if you want some vampires.  At least that’s what I think she’s saying.  I don’t really know. Don’t really care. I what does interest me is who is Kap Bambino is and where did they come from. The french duo Kap Bambino is composed of Caroline Martial on vocals and Orion […]

Arn0

Saying that French designer/artist ArnO is a good illustrator could be the understatement of the year. He is full of talent and his portfolio backs that statement up and then some. After receiving his diploma from ENSAD (Paris) and his master of Arts at CalArts (LA), he has been lucky enough to have worked with some of his childhood heroes. […]
