Happy holidays! Check out Robu’s website here.
In Western pop culture, fictional characters who don masks are more often than not of the nefarious variety. With the exception of standard superhero folks, of course. Munich-based artist, Adrian Pavic, has taken said notorious cinematic masked figures and compiled them for the cool print shown above. No information is available as per buying one, but this image would look great hanging on the wall. The print in brown below. [Courtesy of Definitive Touch]
Gottardo is a Milan-based illustrator who is also known by the handle ‘Shout.’ His impressive portfolio includes work commissioned by a laundry list of folks from Wired to Esquire and The New York Times. Included below is a selection of illustrations from the year that was. Check out his website for further inspirations.
Artist Scott Teplin drew each letter of the alphabet and filled them with miniature dioramas. Included in his Alphabet City is some utterly random shit–hot tubs, snow, a cascading pile of donuts, a moat and slot machines–all of which adds charm and intrigue to the watercolor prints. Yes, you can buy them! Click here for purchasing info. Check out “ailbreak” below. [Courtesy of Spray Blog]
In the vein of the Obama Weather Channel we featured awhile back, a man named Tom Scott has created a similarly-functioning meteorological service. But this time around we’re talking about Star Wars Weather, people. In Brooklyn at the moment it’s comparable to the conditions one would find on Hoth. In San Francisco it’s more like Naboo, and in Cairo it’s temperate, yet grey and cloudy, like Endor. [Courtesy of The Awesomer]
A person with a name like Robert Rubbish deserves to be the protagonist in a famous novel. In fact if I ever get around to writing such a thing, his drink of choice would be a Tanqueray and Tonic, so this print is dually relevant. Mr. Rubbish is the artist responsible for the “Drink More Gin” screen print shown above. It’s available to purchase here ($82.00) in an edition of 500.
Bergeron (aka Fauxreel) says this about his ‘Face of the City’ project:

Neon sign prints on metal by Brighton, UK-based illustrator, Steve Wilson. The skull (shown) is available to purchase in an edition of only five prints for $350.00. Check out neon Elvis and two other works below.
It has really been awhile since we last heard from Banksy. He was busy this summer with an exhibit in Bristol and a number of street pieces, but for whatever reason he’s somewhat tapered off since. Anyway, it’s a nice surprise to see that he’s put up a new work. The series of four stencils went up on the Regent’s Canal in London’s Camden Town this past weekend and seem to be commenting on the climate talks in Copenhagen. They, of course, ended without a firm resolution, and Banksy is subtlety protesting in the only way he knows how. Thanks to AM for the pics and the scoop. Check out three more photos below.
