We’re very familiar with the fanciful patchwork style of Steven Harrington, and now we have a lot more to see with more than 20 new pieces (many from his ‘Our Mountain’ travelling show) and a suped-up website to showcase them. Our favorite new bit is the video section, which totally brings to life the inner-brain world of Steven Harrington by way of some charming stop motion work.

We told you a couple of months back about Jogli, through which you can find just about any song and play it for free. Well, the Israeli upstart just rehashed their site to make the process of finding music, playing it, and creating playlists a whole lot smoother. You can now embed the Jogli player, including playlists, into any webpage; a nice plus for one hell of a music search engine.

Our fine friends at Mimoco never seem to run out of ways to make flash drives fun. While there are already seemingly countless members of the Mimobot army, what’s the harm in introducing one more? So without further ado we bring you the updated version of rayd8gig. The ever-so popular core 2 mimobot model has received a super-limited edition makeover, displaying an inverse color variant from that of the original. With only 200 of these glow in the dark babies being unleashed on the public, collectors best get their move on before they’re all gone.

If you happen to be in Amsterdam in late October, you would do well to check out an exhibition of Evan Hecox’s Urban Abstract, a collection of city life close-ups from cities across the world. You might remember hearing about the Urban Abstract book here earlier this year. The show, which opens on October 24th, features work representing two cities out of the many Evan has already depicted in this series: New York and Amsterdam. The realistic snapshot style offers a unique streetwalking view of the cities. Check it out at Chiellerie.

Since last autumn the work of MWM (Matt W. Moore) has been the frequent subject of our praise and the object of our design affections here at JoshSpear.com. So it should come as no surprise that we’re absolutely percolating with excitement over the news of the art and design studio’s recently redesigned website. The latest incarnation of the online home of MWM Graphics is chock full of impressive new works that run the gamut of design disciplines created for an vast array of clients such as Nike, Zune, and Burton. If you’re in the mood for a visual feast, head on over to the new site and maybe get a bib for your eyes.

L.A.-based artist and interactive art director Yoffy has previously astonished us with his refreshingly clean and colorful pop art images. His paintings of cultural icons such as the Olsen Twins and vibrant nature-ish sculptures have a stylishly sleek neatness to them that add an air of sophistication to any surrounding. Yoffy brings that same sense of suaveness to his brand new site, providing an immaculate interface to navigate through the wonder of his creations and even access his blog or take a gander at his giant tape ball. It’s a beautiful site, and well worth the visit.

Jesse Hora has never ceased to amaze us by consistently producing eye-popping illustrations, and the Spear Collective member has a steady track record when it comes to wowing us with artistic ability. His latest site update keeps that streak intact by adding some superb apparel design work including his sweet Jail Break design for Clandestine Industries and Summer Shades tee for Warner + Reprise Records. Check it out for yourself, we’re sure you’ll want to soak up his creations and make them your very own.

Just a quick reminder to get your submissions in for the Big Ticket Tuesday Nooka watch contest. If you’ve never won anything in your life, now is your chance to make those odds slightly better. The winner will be announced tomorrow afternoon, so hurry! Click here for the rules and details.

Last April we clued you in to the vast artistic talents of mixed medium artist and designer Kelly D. Williams. In case you missed it — or have been jonesing for more of Williams’ distinctly raw, unapologetic and explorative work inspired by music, skateboarding, and his Teton Mountain upbringing — we have a treat for you. The current Senior Creative Director for the Distrikt Collective has been given the highlight reel treatment thanks to the efforts of videographer Shawn Murdock (in conjunction with Kreativ Network Gallery). Murdock edited together a retrospective of various projects, exhibits, commercial designs, and original art created by Williams that manages to capture the essence of it in just under five minutes.

As an artist continues to evolve, so must the way said artist represents him or herself. In order to accurately reflect his own evolving work, long time friend of the site and Spear Collective member, Grant Barnhart has given his website the once over, revamping it to display much of his newer work. The new look homepage has a simple design that is easy to navigate allowing web surfing art addicts to a wonderful opportunity to focus on just how much this Seattle bred’s work has grown. If you find yourself gallavanting through Europe and would like to see that evolution in person we recommend checking out Grant’s exhibition at Leslie’s Art Gallery in Luxembourg from May 2nd to May 31st.

Core 77 Hour Design Challenge asked readers to design a water-saving plan for a bathroom which, to be honest, seems like it would take a little more than an hour to create something even slightly noteworthy. This year, the team hasn’t necessarily eased up on their time constraints, but their request seems a little more reasonable and even more timely as this year they’re asking anyone who wants to participate to create their version of The Olympic Torch. Each torch entry must represent a certain city whether it’s your hometown, that town where your ex-girlfriend lives or really any place that you hold dear…as well as the Olympics in general. Did we mention the deadline is 4pm EST today? So what are you waiting for, it’s time to get to work. Flame on!

If Miami’s own Logan Real can stamp his signature stained-glass mosaic on your wallet, watchband, and even Blackberry case, why can’t he do it to your dog? His new leather dog collar will make your pooch the envy of South Beach. Pretty safe to say, it doesn’t hurt with the bitches either.

In the early ’90s, the most we knew of an artistic movement was the one that was happening on our World Politics textbook (and we seriously hope the statute of limitations is up on prosecuting for vandalism). However, guys (and gals) like Shepard Fairey, Margaret Kilgallen, Mike Mills, Harmony Korine, Thomas Campbell and Ed Templeton were just getting their art collective groove on. About a year ago we posted on the origins of Aaron Rose’s doc project Beautiful Losers. which captured an epoch of hip-hip, skate, punk, and graffiti cultures coming together. This summer Sidetrack Films will release the flick to the masses. We’re so excited, we’re going to start camping out at the theater, Star Wars style.

Kitsune Noir has recognized the wallpapering genius of Spear Collective Dan Funderburgh. Fundy — as nobody calls him — is kind of a big deal with creating fun wallpaper designs that translate well in digital form. Don’t be surprised if the coffeehouse regulars start looking over at your laptop. And this time it won’t be for German porn.

A quick update to Granada Design; the Spanish silkscreeners have turned word into art….wart if you will. Based on a Tetris-like composition letters that form city names like Barcelona, Rome, and New York, they’re great if a) you have a second grade literacy, b) you’re kind of provincial, and c) you’re need some new wall art.
