Old friend Chuck Anderson of NoPattern has released a few new goodies for the holiday season. Above is his latest NoPattern Calendar– a 7×7 calendar packaged inside a black vinyl record sleeve screenprinted with gold ink, signed and numbered in an edition of 300.

There are also some new t-shirts. Two of the six latest shirts are below. Great stuff.

Josh Spear readers can used the code jspear for $5 off their order in the store. Enjoy!

Japanese artist Haroshi creates unique three-dimensional sculptures out of recycled skateboard decks.

Layers of stacked wooden decks are transformed into sharks, body parts, fire hydrants, toys, fictional characters, and shoes.

Incredible. I need that apple. More pictures on Toxel. Thanks G!

Check out my friend Rafa Jenn’s latest creation. The Feline Totem is a four-color, limited edition screen print. Edition of 36. Archival ink on heavy-weight archival paper. Signed and numbered. Dimensions: 11.75″ x 36″. Fun for $69.

Also, check out his Bull Cycle! Amazing.

Head over to designboom for a great story and photo essay about the human billboard paintings at the North Korean Mass Games.

Believe it or not, I actually had flights to North Korea to see the Mass Games this past September– but the whole trip was cancelled for ‘unknown’ reasons. I’m looking forward to trying again for my night in Pyongyang next year. It looks a-mazing.

Go check out more photos (and videos) here.

Loving this huge and amazing list of tributed artwork remembering Steve Jobs. I wonder if he’s rolling over in his grave though! I once read he hated photographs of himself– except the one on the front page of the Apple website right now, which he actually liked.

Fun. A sketchbook for the t-shirt geek! Everyone has a great idea for a t-shirt, and sketching is an excellent way to quickly explore concepts.

Eepmon recently made this new piece to contribute to an art show event on September 19th at PARCO department store in Shibuya, Tokyo.

The event is part of LOVE FOR NIPPON, an initiative in supporting the Great East Japan Earthquake recovery.

As September marks six months since the disaster, this project arose from a desire to bring happiness to people across Japan through art. More info can be found here.

Josh Brill is at it again! Four new portraits (Giraffe, Zebra, Elephant & Rhino) in that same mid-century minimalist modernist style that Lumadessa is known for.

Who knew swear words could be so beautiful? Well, Theo Olesen did.

Above is an exclusive limited edition print of Dave White’s iconic Eagle print, taken from the critically-acclaimed Americana series (I purchased some pieces from that show, covered here and here).

The print will be released in an exclusive limited edition at an event hosted by artrepublic Soho on Thursday 28th July.

It’s also worth mentioning that a small number of these works will be hand finished in gold leaf by the artist. Gorgeous and powerful as always!
