I can’t seem to find too much information about Sergey Ryzhov (so any you might be able to give would be appreciated), but for starters, here are two lovely mystical animal images, which you can purchase prints of here at iNPRNT.

The online indie shop Insound have put together a series of poster and t-shirt designs for a bunch of bands that are the who’s who of indie rock right now. Here are some of the posters from that series — the best ones, actually. Some bands got slightly unexciting creations (notably, Liars), but others really got some star poster/t-shirt treatment.
Statement from Insound themselves:
“The series was created by Chicago based design studio Sonnenzimmer, featuring ten of our favorite bands that made noise in 2010: Beach House, Broken Social Scene, Girls, Liars, Neon Indian, The Mountain Goats, Owen Pallett, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Titus Andronicus, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists. The series consists of 10 t-shirts and 10 limited edition silkscreened posters done in Sonnenzimmer’s abstract design style; and interestingly enough the entire series of posters was designed to fit together into one larger image that was the basis for the team’s design.”
Check out the larger finished work at the end of this post.

Our show poster for our 5-Year Anniversary Event (tomorrow, in Seattle, at Chop Suey) got Poster Of The Week at The Stranger.
What the article failed to mention is that each poster was individually blockprinted on found sheets of magazine paper; each product is 100% unique. Yeah! Here’s another sample. There’s a million more.
Because Americans aren’t obsessed enough with food already, Scion has an upcoming show (May 22nd through June 12th) curated by Zio Fulcher. It will be taking place in Culver City, with free valet parking (fancy!) and an open bar (fancier!)… with art from Clare Crespo, Jeph Gurecka, Scott Hove, Tamara Kostianovsky, Alan Macdonald, James Reynolds, Martha Rich, and Jeff Vespa. What’s more: The Candy Wrapper Museum and Vintage Cookbook Library! Amazing!
Tamara Kostianovsky uses clothing, ink, shellac, polyester batting, and meat hooks to mimic slabs of meat!
Martha Rich, looking simply at food we all know and love.
Jeff Vespa points out the art of blown-up photos of hamburgers sitting side, by side, by side.
Felt food by Clare Crespo.
Alan Macdonald, slathering food in retro clothing.
Intensely terrifying image from The Candy Wrapper Museum.

It’s the talk of the town. Finally, the Seattle Art Museum has an exhibition honoring the man of the Seattle music scene — the man who, to this day, people from foreign countries are still bringing up to me when I mention that I’m from Seattle: Kurt Cobain.
I have a love/hate relationship with the Seattle Art Museum, I’ll say right now. They have good exhibits from time-to-time, sure, but what city’s art museum doesn’t? It’s in scenarios such as exhibits like this where it is important that SAM shines. Well, tonight’s the night of the opening event, and it seems like the image that’s being used the most — a 2006 sculpture by the talented Scott Fife — might be the most visually-appealing piece in the show. Photography from Alice Wheeler is also notable, as it was stems from her friendship with Cobain. Other pieces seem more interesting on conceptual levels.
Below is a video introducing the show, and you can view a slideshow here on SAM’s website to decide for yourself.
What better way to celebrate Earth Day (April 22nd) than by acknowledging our place within the cosmos as a whole? Well, okay, there might be better ways, such as getting out there and actually doing something (see the official Earth Day website for some ideas or get governmental by taking some ideas from the EPA)… but if you’re lazy and would rather stimulate your brain hypothetically and visually than actually doing something physically, Ross Berens has some really amazing Galaxy series posters for you — yes, you — to look at, buy, cherish, and read. See below.
(Buy the whole set, including the one of Pluto — ooh, controversy — and get a discount!)
But really, this post is somewhat in jest. There are a lot of ways to help celebrate Earth Day, starting with simple things like taking shorter showers (or not taking a shower at all!), catching rain water to use to water your plants, or turning off your lights. Do what you can.
