Bargain Bin Blasphemy

Illustration // Thursday, May 02, 2013
"Bargain Bin Blasphemy" is a blog run by this dude who buys discount records from thrift stores and turns them into Satan-worshipping works of art. Bargain Bin has created such masterpieces as Michael Jackson's "Killer," The Beach Boys' "Endless Murder," "The Satanic Side of Cher," "Killy Joel Eats Shit" and the perennial "Satan" and Garfunkel's "Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Pain." Bargain Bin has found the dark side of all these musical classics and catalogues them in diligent fashion on his blog. Hit this guy up if you're looking for some kitschy Satanic  remastering of your favorite Simon and Garfunkel Album. As Bargain Bin would say, "NOG, SATAN, AND THE DARK WAY."

More Madness from Odö

Illustration // Friday, May 03, 2013
A master of minute details, Nicolas Le Borgne aka Odö creates his artworks on paper. Whether he’s using watercolor, pen & ink or acrylic, the work is meticulous. Playing like acid trips gone awesome, Odö's work blends psychedelic imagery, pop culture icons, and intricate geometric designs to establish a world that's all his own. Despite his young age, he has also been recognized by his peers within the Lowbrow movement. This dude is one to watch closely.

Psychedelic Robot Skulls by David M. Cook

Illustration // Friday, May 03, 2013
David M. Cook is the architect of a mischievous microcosm. Amicable and unassuming, he hardly seems the “type” to consistently and skillfully crank out such a lewd labyrinth of work, but the cheeky hedonism comes all too naturally. Based in Brooklyn but originally from Louisville, Kentucky, David (who also answers to Bonethrower) uses no shortage of fine lines to design a world that is equal parts modern mysticism and memento mori—at the end of the day, it all sinks in like a psychotropic drug.

Violane and Jeremy Illustration

Illustration // Wednesday, May 01, 2013
Violane and Jeremy is a graphic arts studio located in France. The two artists are designers, illustrators and also producers. They work in art direction, graphic identity, website, publishing and video production. These pieces are some of those the studio has put out. The lovely, hard-worked pencil tones evoke fantastical visions of flowers and beards, illustrations that are both fun and thoughtful at the same time. These illustrations have a nostalgic quality, pulling cues from the absurdist imagery of Rene Magritte and the kind of cobblestone characters from 18th century France.   

Drawings by Jeff Ladouceur

Illustration // Wednesday, May 01, 2013
Jeff Ladouceur is a self-taught artist who divides his time between New York and Vancouver, BC. He is represented by Ziehersmith in New York. Ladouceur's paintings are iconic and bold yet mysterious and multi-layered at the same time. Monochromatic, textured drawings that incorporate elements of old-time cartoons with props and visual cues from art history and the likes of Salvador Dali, Ladouceur's illustrations are strange, hybrid depictions of a wandering mind.   

Steven Ketchum's Paintings of Friction

Illustration // Wednesday, May 01, 2013
Steven Ketchum is a 29 year old designer and artist living in Brooklyn, NY. These multi-media paintings reflect a sense of confusion, anxiety or conflict as Ketchum sees it in the world. Ketchum says that his work "depicts dualities and the friction opposing forces present." The work depicts representative portions of bodies, facies and limbs, while each drawing devolves into curvilinear swaths of paint, representing fields of flux and ambiguity. These paint swaths are incredibly evocative and strange, giving these drawings a mysterious and dynamic element. We love these weird drawings. Ketchum spends his time drawing, reading, running, practicing Muay Thai and sleeping.
