Short documentary about Japanese artist Kyoko Masutani and her recent work.

Really very nice collagey illustrations over at prrr!

Mimiyo Tomozawa is big in the underground Japanese comic world, but is probably best known by people like me for designing a couple of album covers for Jim O’Rourke. I think her work is hilarious. Some equally strange music from her band Dokidoki can be found here.

Jason Munn from Oakland. All of his posters are also for sale here.

Nice motion work from Dan Savage.

Nice work out of Minneapolis.

Rob Lowe - great designer / illustrator / typographer from London.

Designer from Switzerland.

Design studio in LA / San Francisco. Really nice loose art style to their work.

Barbafactory - design and factory.

New Stereolab video for the track ‘Three Women’, from their upcoming album Chemical Chords.

Studio out of Paris.

Gabriel Morales from Barcelona.

Matthew Dent is the 26-year-old who won the competition to design Britain’s new coinage. There’s a good interview at Creative Review about his experience on the project.

Scott Hansen (aka ISO50) has been asked to produce the next Barack Obama poster. He is the 2nd artist, after Shepard Fairey, who’s been asked to participate in designing for the Obama campaign. Pretty good tactic I’d say, to stir up even more young votes.

They’re producing a limited run of 5000, at $70 per poster… nice handy sum of $350k. Look for it on the ISO50 site and at the Obama store in coming weeks.

Anthony Kolber from Melbourne. Thanks for the link Anthony.

Supper was Bill Callahan’s 11th proper album as Smog. Here’s a track.
