His new works burst with objective social commentary and they very much make me jealous. The textures of his backgrounds are so rich they unify all of his pieces.

The Little Friends Of Printmaking...

I just found The Little Friends of Printmaking this morning via the superb blog of Josh Spear. The Little Friends of Printmaking are a husband-wife duo (a tag team if you will) who make mind-blowingly fun prints in all sorts of media and operate from the chilly city of Milwaukee. They do posters, t-shirts and buttons and all of their work makes me smile. Bands like Wolfmother, Death Cab for Cutie and Yo La Tengo have all used their services. I just can't get over how much I like their cartoony frenetic style.
