Some of the apparel we did a while back for Jetty is finally available on their online store. The tees we worked on are Draw Your Own Line, LWMS, Raindrops, and the Driptych. Check out the tees and if you like them, why not buy one?
Lots of art, music and coffee brought about 1000 people to a small warehouse venue in Tampa, FL for the CANVAS 4 event, Sept. 26.
All the hard work on art for my side project, Cameraluv seemed to pay off with some good response to the wall, bags and art. We made some new friends, sold some art and it looks like more shows may be in our future. A special shout out goes to Michelle Sawyer for her great work.
For those who are interested, many of the bags, framed prints and canvas’ are still available. To see more of the art from the show, check us out on flickr. To purchase art email me at Jeremy@cameraluv.com.
If you are in the Tampa area on Friday, Sept. 26, looking for some inspiration and fun, then come out to Canvas 4. It’s a gathering of local artists including the KENEDIK’s. We are rocking a larger space for our work as Cameraluv. Come check out our new framed prints, paintings and hand sewn accessories.
We attended the Surf Expo over the weekend. Its always good to see old friends and make some new ones. We were there to meet with clients and also took a peek at some new trends. The fall show is usually focused on wake, and kite, but skate and surf always have a strong showing. A few of our favorites, like Dragon, Spy, Nixon, Vestal, Glas, Jetty don’t exhibit in Sept, so we hope to see them again in January 09.
One highlight of the show was seeing a bunch of really great hand-painted skateboards that were being auctioned off as part of ISM: SK8OLOGY. The fundraising exhibition and auction combined the skateboard culture with the world of fine art. If only I had the money for the laser cut Andy Howell Deck. Take a peek at the images above for a glimpse at what’s coming out soon from Billabong, Quiksilver, Nike and more.
Last week I ran across this great music video “Better When You’re Naked” by Jonas Odell and Nexus for Norweigen punk rocker Ida Maria. It showcases Warholian Pop-art imagery and lot’s of fun type-play. It’s not the first type I’ve seen this kind of stuff, it’s just really well done. All I could think while watching it was “I wish I made this”.
Enjoy!
Today I had the privilege of meeting and hearing Stefan speak at an AIGA event at the Orlando Museum of Art. Stefan is a writer, graphic designer, illustrator based out of California. He is the man behind 344 Design and The Daily Monster. He’s also the writer and designer of my next purchase, the book All Access—The Making of Thirty Extraordinary Graphic Designers.
Stefan’s presentation was one of the most inspiring i’ve seen and heard in a long time. He’s super experienced, has great perspective on Art and Design culture and has a great sense of humor. If you ever have a chance to see him or hear him speak … go! Some samplings of his talks are online at 344design.
Today I ran across this beautiful Rolleiflex Mini Digital Camera sold exclusively through Urban Outfitters. This looks like an amazing little camera that gives a nod to the old Twin Lens Reflex Rollei cameras, first developed in Germany in the 1920s. This mini digital features a 5mp auto focus lens, uses a mini SD card, has crank lever film advance, a 4.9mm F2.8 Lens; and has 1/15-1/2500s Shutter Speed capabilities. If you can find an extra $399 to pick one up, grab one for me too.
Here’s a little behind the scenes pulled-out look at the set of a recent apparel photo shoot. The shots were taken by our friend, the very talented Jonpaul Douglass. Stay tuned to the site and blog for more peeks at what our 6 hours of shooting and 4 locations produced.
