History of Graphic Design Avant Garde from Minji Aye Hong on Vimeo.
Saw this on TheWorldsBestEver this morning, and we liked it because it gives a really nice summation of all things modern. Or as the filmmaker notes, “The beginning of modernism, mainly for the movement and rhythm.”

We love the work of Paul Sahre, a NYC-based graphic designer, illustrator, lecturer, educator and author who makes this really clever, intelligent works. The artist just has an incredible body of commercial and personal works, so much so that you can spend hours on his site. This body of works in particular is called “illooops.”

You know the Citrus Report and cats, so when we saw this post on Los Angeles-based Cat Cult up on Juxtapoz, we got hyped and we are thinking of making our cat a cult figure. It already smokes. We have been in LA recently, and we haven’t seen Cat Cult’s work, but now we are going to take a mini-pilgrimage and learn from the mighty Cat Cult.
Juxtapoz notes that they use illustration, printmaking, stencils, wheatpaste, photography, painting, sewing, and graphic design on their pieces. We approve.

This is the first time we have seen the work of Vietnamese artist, Dinh Truong Giang, and because we can barely fold a piece of paper, seeing some of these animal and portraits made from folding paper is quite impressive. The architecture student who studied both in Vietnam and USA, and now lives in Virginia, says this about his work:
“After about 2 years folding from books, I started to create original origami models.
To me, origami = paper sculpture. Inspiration can come from many sources, from modern sculptures to paintings, Zen paintings, graphic design, other origami artists’ works and what I read and listen…
I wet fold most of my models using watercolor or handmade paper.”

With all of the graphic design blogs out there, September Industry manages to still stand out with their extremely good picks of graphic design collections from around the globe. Simply put, SI just has good taste in design, featuring some of the cleanest book arts and typography work on the web. The cool thing about this site though, is that they offer an in depth interview with the designers and their work. Not only giving viewers eye-gasms all over their screen, the artists are able to share insight to their process, mantras, and influences that leaves the audience with a better understanding of how the work came about, as well as feeling pretty damn inspired.

HVW8 Gallery just sent us a notice that Bill McMullen’s Checks Cashed show is opening tonight in Los Angeles, California. The show runs from July 31, 2010, 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm to September 14th. For your who is Bill McMullen moment if you need it, “McMullen is renowned for his witty, pointed combination of high art presentation, graphic design immediacy, and street art’s confrontational boldness.”
A very cool logo, endorsed by the good people of Burlesque Design. The logo was designed by Barrett & Gaby in 1971 for Miami’s “Vote 4 Clean Water” committee. Simple, clean, and a clear message. Perfect.
A nice stamp from Burlesque Design’s favorite Israeli graphic artist, Asher Kalderon. In the words of Burlesque of which we agree, “That is one nice looking college campus.”
Says Grotesk… this must be a Brooklyn sidewalk sale thing, huh?
