Fine Art Friday: Old Dirty Dermot

Typically my Fine Art Fridays are for painters or other fine arts, but sometimes I come across some graphic design or illustrations that are worthy of noting, as was the case with the work of Dermot Reddan. Reddan's creative service, known as Old Dirty Dermot, is a Brooklyn (NY) based outlet for Reddans passion for both skateboarding and art. While his career has landed him with creative roles that include graphic design, product, apparel and print design, he has used these opportunites to help expand his own work and create some lasting, original characters and innovative artwork.

Listen: Supastition - "Eardrum"

North Carolina emcee and true school torch carrier Supastition recently posted the single for the track "Eardrum" from his upcoming Honest Living EP. The entire EP is produced by relative newcomer German beatmaker Croup and continues the banger heavy beats and educated lyrics of one of hip hops secret weapons in Supasition. Though he is criminally slept on, Supa always links with quality production to lay the soundbed for his verses and Croup steps into the role perfectly. Check it out and support the independent grind of quality artists.
