Matthew Palladino

© Matthew Palladino "Citing influences including Jim Jones, the tiger that escaped from the SF zoo earlier this year and the Mission School, 22 year-old artist Matthew Palladino's paintings are, to say the least, bizarre. Primarily working on watercolor paper, images of gang members, drug dens and bleeding bodies are rendered in simplified shapes with rich, saturated colors.

The faux-naive allusions are many — Darger, , Dzama, Clare Rojas, Chris Johanson, among others — but the SF-native's honesty shines through in his meticulous detail and the freely-associated subjects. And his sense of composition likely has to do with a stint at the California College of Art. To learn more, check out the Fecal Face interview." - Cool Hunting

Andy Rementer's - Techno Tuesday

The best way to start a tuesday. Andy Rementer's ‘Techno Tuesday’ began as an exercise in drawing comics and complaining. In fact it still is, after it’s inception in January of 2006. The comic, which is based on technology and the modern world, originally appeared on the Fabrica blog. And has since been published elsewhere online as well as in print. It has been featured in Adbusters magazine, Clark magazine, and exhibited at Lift in Switzerland, and the Pompidou Centre in Paris.

Some of my favourites from the archive.
