BAYO A.K.A. EDUARDO FLORES
Though the artwork has less to do with hip hop then most things I post here, BAYO's work is fascinating to me regardless. I am a lifelong fan of drawing and BAYO's work is both skillfully drawn and contains thought provoking subjects. Much of the work deals with the "human condition" and undue stresses of life. My description may not do it justice, but check out the images below and click the link to his site above for more, if interested.
CHALK BOARD DESIGN
I came across these videos by Dana Tanamachi one day and was pretty stunned by the level of skill she can render with typography on a simple chalkboard. Maybe I would have paid more attention in high school if my teachers could put this type of dopeness on the board before every class to keep things stimulating. The sample below is one of her designs in a time lapse video that shows her evolving process in its various stages. This one was designed for the Nagging Doubt Viognier wine label. Check it out and you won't complain that chalk art is too limiting.
KEVIN CYR : Delivery Man
There is something oddly hypnotic about Kevin Cyr's work with beat up trucks, painted from photos he takes in various locales like New York. He invests the detail of a fine art Master but devotes his work to the exploration of rusty, dented, time-worn vehicles as a type of metaphor for the human condition. He places the trucks (mostly) on colored backgrounds that remove it from its busy city surroundings and almost turn it into a museum display, like a dinosaur bones of the year 2012. People seem to hate on his work for basically repainting other graf artists work on his canvases, but he is only paying tribute to the history of the subject, not claiming the subject as his own.
I saw his work in Miami once and can hopefully check his upcoming show at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in NYC. For those that can't see it in person, check out the samples below and his website for more info.
