Illustrator Jason Polan is on a mission. A mission to draw every person in New York. Jason is spending 2 minutes a piece drawing people he sees in the streets of New York City and blogging the results daily. The result is fun doodles of interesting characters and even some famous names. If you’d like to be a subject, check out the blog and email Jason, and he may inconspicuously sketch you at your decided location. More NY portraits after the jump.
Chris Duncan is a fabulous Oakland based artist that I have had the pleasure of spending some time with over the past year. His installations, performance, drawing, painting, book making, sculpture and print-work are not only ambitious, but easy to get lost in, and most importantly, totally gorgeous! One of the hardest working artist in the game.
There is so much more! Do you research. Mr. Duncan exhibits with Baer Ridgway Exhibitions in SF. Also, he has started a a very lovely publishing project, Land and Sea. Also, Chris constitutes one half of the force of nature that you may know as Hot and Cold. Also, he is currently doing a residency/project - The Sun @ Kala in which a record is being produced from freeform percussion jams, replete with sexy packaging. To here him talk about all of this and communicate by banging a drum, try to check out his upcoming lecture. And if you aren’t in the bay, listen to him anyway via Bad at Sports or watch and listen to him via XLR8RTV. He’s “up on the wall”.

From what I can tell, Pierre Bolide likes a few things: Space. Raging vein mutant muscles. And imaginary feuds with Chuck Norris. The only way I can describe these are like fan club illustrations of a long lost Nintendo video game that totally ruled and I played so much I saw the shapes on the back of my eyelids when I went to sleep at night, or some totally awesome TMNT (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) spin-off series based on one of Shredder’s obscure, but totally awesome minions. Found on B/D’s very own Creative Pic Pool!
Harmony is an interesting online drawing tool made in HTML5 (Not Flash, I was surprised to learn). The samples here (and the link itself) are from Anthony “Nedroid” Clark on Twitter.
This 10th anniversary self promotional animation for Record Makers is straight up bootylicious. It’s an adjective that so rarely applies but in this case it is positively apropos.
Christopher Davison earned an MFA in Printmaking from the Tyler School of Art. His work is dark, intense and deals in religious symbology, specifically Christianity. It’s a dicey subject to toy with in this day and age.
