Artists I like

Already posted a teaser back in 2008. Now you can watch the whole movie on youtube.
"Graffitti Removal - the act of erasing graffiti by painting over it. Subconscious art - a product of artistic merit that was created without conscious artistic intentions" Director: Matt McCormick

Eliot Lipp is so nice and puts the free downloadable mix "Live from the Beat Bunker" on his side "Electronic Beats"! This is what he writes:"Whats up Ya'll...I made a mix of some new tracks, unreleased remixes & live edits that I think you might like. " Great abstract Hip Hop! get it here.

While foraging for interesting clips at the NFB of Canada i stumbled upon a trailer to this nice looking documentary: Roadsworth, "a documentary film about a stencil artist's clandestine campaign to make his mark on the streets." Check the NFB website with infos to the movie here - for the artist website go here.

I really would love to see the movie "Beautiful Losers"! Here is the Synopsis take from their website:

"BEAUTIFUL LOSERS celebrates the spirit behind one of the most influential cultural moments of a generation

In the early 1990's a loose-knit group of likeminded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC storefront gallery. Rooted in the DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop & graffiti, they made art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Developing their craft with almost no influence from the "establishment" art world, this group, and the subcultures they sprang from, have now become a movement that has been transforming pop culture.

Starring a selection of artists who are considered leaders within this culture, Beautiful Losers focuses on the telling of personal stories. It speaks to themes of what happens when the outside becomes "in" as it explores the creative ethos connecting these artists and today's youth."

Featured artists are Ed Templeton, Shepard Fairey, Thomas Campbell and many more! Hope it comes to europe soon.

Really nice video to new work by artist/photographer JR. Don`t miss to visit his website...soo good!

Really nice interview on ViceTV with artist Thomas Campbell who did the great surf movies "The Seedling" and "Sprout". At the same time he is one of my favorite painters and photographers. See the interview here, have a look at the New York Times article "The swell life" and definitely check out the latest trailer to his upcoming new surfmovie "The present".

I just had a look at his excerpt quicktimemovie to "The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal" and I really like the idea and the way he did this movie. There are a lot more trailers and exerpts to watch and that´s what i´m gonna do right now.

Today I found a link to the webclip about Stephan Sagmeister at swissmiss that you can watch here. After watching it I had a look at the other clips Hillman did and I am really impressed how intense clips he makes while keeping the way of producing them totally simple. Definitely worth to take a closer look at his website. The picture is the cover for his book "MTIV: Making the Invisible Visible: Process, Inspiration and Practice for the New Media Designer".

Kent Rogowski is turning ordinary teddybears inside out and then restuffes them. I don`t know how they looked before, but i really like how they look after.
