MIRP, or Monsters In Real places is just a cool lil blog where you can send in a picture of a monster you’ve made in the real world. I thought ‘why not’ when I saw it on an artist named NVasion’s flickr, so I drew one up quickly.

Murraymullet has submitted an awesome piece that’s now up for voting at Threadless. “Mr. Tee” is a portrait of Mr. T made entirely of t-shirts. The folds, creases, and shadows are perfect! Why did I never think of this brilliant idea? I definitely want to see this printed!
Glamnation, also known as Dennis Chow, is a super awesome artist and graphic designer. His bold graphic work reminds me of comic books, punk music and the 80’s. Working for/with such super companies as Nike, Mishka and Momentum his work is definetly recieving the recognition it deserves. Check it out ! http://www.glamnation.ca/
I know that this is my second Munny post in a row, but these guys were too cool to not write about. Farkfk has been working on a series of custom Munny toys called the “Montana Series.” These Munny figures are painted with Montana Gold spray paint, and what’s especially neat is that the spray cans become home for these toys. These Munny are each painted with one color, but because of the creative use of the cans, they’re by no means boring to look at! Check out other amazing vinyl toy customizations at Farkfk’s flickr.
This is a whole blog about a dad who paints these lunch bags for his kids everyday, what a sweet thing to do. Definetly a memory I hope they keep and an idea I hope inspires other people to create art out of ordinary supermarket products.
Audrey’s drawings and paintings are truly beautiful, I love the simplicity and ornate lines she uses to illustrate her dark haired women. The link I’ve posted shows some of her work in progress and it’s inspiring to see her work in it’s rawwest form, still looking so delicate and elegant. The wood canvas, the simple lines, the women’s beauty, the subject material, everying about them I love. Again, inspiration.

One of the coolest tees I’ve seen recently is a piece done by Derek Deal for the newly launched brand Skeg Clothing. It shows a jar that holds the entire universe, and the ginormous print definitely makes this look believable. I can’t help but be drawn to this piece, and I’m sure that this tee would get a few double takes out in public!
If you haven’t seen it yet, Doodlers Anonymous has released a beautiful 32-page coloring book that features 29 different artists from around the world.

This is the project I’ve been working on for the past 2-3 weeks. It’s my final project for my 3d modeling class and the assignment was to make an alternative transportation system. Mine’s really unrealistic, of course.
