Mark Goss

Ask and you shall receive. We asked for submissions while we were on vacation, and we got a great one. Mark Goss is an illustrator and graphic designer from Antwerp. His fantastic portfolio has a little bit of everything: tattoo inspired illustrations, paintings, graffiti, hand lettering and zines.

Most recently, Mark was part of a show called Dirty Fingers that just opened at Artspace Leguit in Antwerp. Behind the cut, you can check out a video of his step by step installation of one of the pieces for that show.

(p.s. Horse Feathers is an amazing band. Their recent Daytrotter session is highly recommended.)

Happy Belated Birthday, America

How was your 4th? We were VERY hard at work (hence the lack of posts). It was probably not the best idea to start refinishing our floors in the same month as three major art + craft shows. In between making a lot of sawdust, though, we played with sparklers!

And, we made this: our latest screenprint.

It’s the City of Detroit’s motto. We’ll have it for sale at Baar Bazaar on Saturday. Hope to see you there!

The Comet Substance

Ronny Hunger of Switzerland is putting out some great posters under the name The Comet Substance. I love the layering of vintage images, and there’s just the right amount of dirty grit running through his designs.

He also designed some posters for an ice cream brand. I have no idea what Fraise Erdbeer is, but I bet it’s delicious.
