I just came across this “rubber hose” style animation by the great Carlos Nine and his son Lucas. Carlos Nine (pronounced Neenyay) is an amazing Argentine artist who publishes most of his work via France. His work is wonderfully strange and sensual and seems to come from a different era, I really love this guys stuff.
Here is an old painting I am still fond of that my buddy Pete scanned for me recently. It was for a multi media show I directed/art directed back in the day that went into high schools all over the USA & Canada. Pretty big production for the time, 10-projectors, 3-screens something like 15 feet tall by 45 feet wide? -can’t quite remember. This particular show dealt with how our different appetites can be our undoing if we don’t control them. We of course used U2′s “Desire” as the theme song which was still pretty new at the time. I wish I could find one of the actual posters, the title treatment on the bottom third was pretty fun. I had this printed as a Giclée recently and it turned out great.
Today is Marcel Duchamp’s birthday. Back in his day he constantly courted scandal so what better way to celebrate him than to drag out this scandalous painting I did a few years back for Fox Kids Magazine to further sully his reputation.
These sketches were done a few years ago for a t-shirt commissioned by a friend of mine. None of these were actually used but I seem to have lost the final art, so they will have to do for now. If anyone is interested I can post a photo of the actual shirt just leave a comment.
The skateboard deck I designed for Abby Zsarnay just came off the assembly line. It’s made from light weight bamboo and has a really nice natural grain to it.
Check Abby and cheapsk8r out by clicking the links on the sidebar under friends. Special shout out to proud papa Chris Zsarnay for the photos.
