Drink N Sip by Some Young Punks
The artwork was commissioned from Joe WhyteThe idea is to peel off the clothing and dress up the pinup girl. Very clever.

I first found out about this Chicago freelance artist when thumbing threw Vapors magazine a while back ago. Chuck Anderson started in 2003 in which he used his nopattern.com site to display his personal work he had created during high school on his free time. He didn't have any client work at that time. He worked several jobs such as at a screenprinter, packing Threadless.com shirts, etc. After seeing all the art that inspired him in magazines, he contacted art directors listed in the mastheads. His client list grew. He would get in touch with more magazines, ad agencies, studios, etc. He promoted online and in print. He has an extensive client list that includes Adidas, Bic, Urban Outfitters, Honda, ESPN, NYLON magazine, SXSW, Sony, Wired magazine, etc.
Check out his new book for sale called "Wandering Off Into Space". 64 pages of his design work.

I saw this artist on CBS Sunday Morning show and wanted to share his art.
This is art from a 34-year old Jersey City, Brian Donnelly, graffiti artist turned traditional painter, designer known as KAWS. He got his start by drawing on his skateboard, painting on walls now he is showcasing his paintings in galleries after shying away from museums and galleries for years. The name KAWS has no meaning, he just liked the shapes of k, a, w, s. His art has caught the eye of Pharrell Williams who has commissioned dozens of pieces for his Miami home and Kanye West. He designed the artwork for Kanye's latest album, "808's and Heartbreaks". He has also collaborated with Lucasfilm to designed a Star Wars stormtrooper.

I came across Alphonse Swinehart's post from a tweet by @nicholaspattern (nicholaspattern's posterous) the other day. This is such a great video. Alphonse did a bang up job shooting and editing. He has some very entertaining friends.
Blurb from the original post:
After all the positive feedback from last year’s inaugural “Best of 2006″video, it was seemingly decided by all my friends that I had no other choice to make another one for 2007 (and on). This time, I added a small constraint that any music I used had to be released that year. I also changed cameras, getting a Panasonic Lumix around March, which was a double-edged sword - shooting better quality video than the Sanyo, but a heavy drop in audio quality.
Music:
Broken Social Scene, Presents Kevin Drew: “Lucky Ones”
LCD Soundsystem: “Someone Great”
Laura Veirs: “To The Country”
This NYC guerrilla artist deconstructs and makes his own art in NYC subways with just a razor blade. He tells it like it is. His Flickr pics here.
