Gorum’s got a very good sense of framing and impeccable taste. A light touch when it comes to development brings the whole thing together.

Igor “Rogix” Udushlivy’s book designs that incorporate multiple physical elements to create a cohesive, playful whole instantly won me over. (I’m not sure that we need a “cute” edition of The Road, mind.)

Jon VermilyeaThe “FUNNY (not funny)” exhibition seeks to elicit uncomfortable laughter in the realm of black humor—a place where the serious and the taboo are fodder for comic provocation. Artists in numerous media have long sought to overturn convention and challenge what is funny with what is not as a means of producing humor out of the unlikeliest of situations. Work by the twenty artists on view in “FUNNY (not funny)” demonstrates that cartooning is keeping the tradition of black humor alive and flourishing. The very form of the comics page itself is as relevant a vehicle as ever, freed from so many of the commercial restrictions placed on other art forms, to effectively deliver potent images and narratives that carry with them a very immediate and accurate measure of the absurdity of our age.
A catalog of the show is forthcoming.

DESIGN FETISH: Star Wars Figures, Doing What They Do Best

I mentioned this site on Twitter a little while back, but I’ve been enjoying the anonymous work being conducted over at Star Wars Figures, Doing What They Do Best enough to stick it here. According to “ratherchildish,” the site’s author:
The Star Wars Action Figures in my house get anxious if they’re stored in the closet for extended periods. They like to get out and strut a bit. And when they do my role is simply to observe and report.For someone admittedly using cheap equipment, there’s some surprisingly nice photographs that come out of this, including the one above.
