These guys have been kicking out some rocking tunes so I was easily inspired to come up with something for them. Check out their latest at the official Rootbeer myspace.

It smells like pee in there, but well-worth checking out for the walls and walls of creative spirit and random banter. Some other examples below snapped on site taken by my trusty (and still just as cool) gen one.

This example is a cd design for artist ‘Juvelen’ (translation: ‘The Jewel’), who must be highly chuffed with his new album image. Juvelen is a pop artist apparently influenced by Prince, so the neon glows and purple taints are oh so suitable. See Grandpeople’s site www.grandpeople.org

Using macabre imagery to form an eerily symbolic sculptural piece, Jun Takahashi of Undercover joined forces with P.A.M to create the Shade Lamp.  newarrival_scatemirror1.jpg

Sydney-based Andy Uprock as an exhibition on tonight (Fri 21st of March) at The Oxford Art Factory in Sydney. His work has been seen in many city stroller’s peripherals, however stopping to take a good look is really worth it.

Interesting that he has communicated the subject ‘grief’ from a rather feminist angle.  picture-12.pngpicture-14.pngpicture-13.pngpicture-10.png
