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.

Take it Easy

You deserve it. Or something. I really love this by Christiane Hoegner, via I Can't Believe It:

Nostagic for the Summer Already

Bands That Would Frighten Me, Were I to Encounter Said Band While Lost in the Wilderness

Grizzly Bear- Did you know that a half ton grizzly bear is capable of sprinting at over 48 km/h?

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club- They will probably kill and scalp me to make a trophy to display at their Black Rebel Motorcycle Clubhouse.

The Zombies- Zombies are extremely frightening, and if they are in the wilderness, there is the distinct probability that they were once lumberjacks, and what is more frightening than a flannel-wearing undead woodsman?

Band of Bees- One time, when I was fifteen, I was stung by a bee and my foot swelled literally three times its normal size. Apparently I'm extremely allergic.

Wolf Parade- While this would be cool to see, (wolves marching in parade formation), they might be angry hungry wolves.

Have I Ever Told You About Tycho?

Being on an 'I want to show people art that I like' kick, I very much want to let people know and see the work of Scott Hansen. He does his visual work under the name 'ISO50' (which I assume has something to do with photography). I love the colors he chooses and the worn organic quality of his prints. All of his recording work is done under his other moniker, 'Tycho'. His music definitely has the same atmosphere and texture as his posters and design.

Bigger Than Out of the Gutter

I used to visit Wooster Collective every day, I don't know why I stopped. Regardless, I really love this huge wheatpaste that someone did in Atlanta. It would make a really great t-shirt.

Stilts and Sheets

The real sketch is an inch square and took a minute to draw, but I really like it. Sketched in my Phych 1001 class:

Beside that, check out the T-Shirt I ordered from the Imaginary Foundation:
