• Yours, Sighned “Its OK”

  July 9, 2008 · Words: Martin S · 0 Comments
  

  Cutting 1,000,000 “ITS OK” in wooden blocks has become a lifetime’s preoccupation for artist maverick Sighn (real name unknown to the masses) and he has already filled galleries and weirded-out friends with his ambitious project. I spoke to him right before he embarked on a 24 hour “cut-a-thon” in the name of DIY resolve and [...]

  How did you become involved in the world of street-art?
  Probably [...]

  “Run away Timmy, they’re coming for us”
  The characters found in the artwork of Russian-born illustrator Skinny Gaviar resemble the demented protaganists from some little-known 1960’s B-movie, or the weird hairy figures on an old Funkadelic record sleeve that scared the crap out of you as a kid. A nightmarish juxtaposition of real people and [...]

  Familiar Trees is the breezy monicker for Californian duo Fabiola Sanchez and Ken Negrete, who make the kind of subtle drifting music that you would find stashed under “lullabies” and “ambient” at the back of the record store. It’s a heady concoction [...]

  Sometimes the best art isn’t the prettiest, it’s the work that speaks to you with the most clarity and volume.

  January 31, 2008 · Words: Martin S · 1 Comment
  

  “Freedom” by Dufus, from the album “Ball of Design”.
  Fudsu. I mean Dufus. A band with more wild abandon than a bull on heat goring a matador in a china shop, Dufus have combined improvised playmaking and carefully-crafted chaos over their decade-long career, which began amongst the antifolk hustle in New York’s music [...]
