Prints found. Souls transformed into non-matter.
Found these on 18th between Grant and Lincoln. I dig the ballcap butcher.
From TheKwiatkowskiPress.com
The Kwiatkowski Press is an underground press involving a series of events. It is a work in progress. We rely on trickery, gimmicks and all the other magic that’s involved in art. Yes, we are con artists. The press is a reflection of the chaos and disaster of creation. Its matter was taken from society, mutilated, transformed and returned in retribution. Our mission is the transformation of all souls into non-matter. It is matter that we are up against.

Sanjay Patel Interview from Grain Edit
Catching up on my RSS feeds this morning I came across this interview with Sanjay Patel about his just released book Ramayana: Divine Loophole.
from Grain Edit…
As one of the core legends of Hindu mythology, Ramayana recounts a tale of Rama, a god-turned-prince, and his quest to rescue his wife Sita after she was kidnapped by a demon king. Sanjay is able to breath new life into this 2500-year-old epic tale with over 150 pages of lush, detailed illustrations.
The quality of Sanjay’s work is amazing and the interview provides surprising insights into the personal motivations of a professional illustrator. We’re definitely going to add this book to our studio collection. There is also a limited edition silk screened poster that is signed and still available.

Hand Done Type-tastic Thursday
This week I’ve been really into Nate Williams’ Letter Playground website. Users upload funky hand done or non traditional letter forms. The website is a celebration of type as illustration and there is a lot of funky goodness and inspiration to be found while poking around. Letter Playground has nifty features allowing users to upload their own found or drawn letters, the ability to “favorite” letters, sort by letter and to comment on other’s letters. Some of my favorites include this robot-tastic set by the user Banu:
and also this angry looking stegosaurs ‘D’ by Heath:
