The Art Of David Lynch

posted July 10, 2017 #

This VoorDeFilm video essay on The Art of David Lynch is a short piece but does a fascinatingly good job of showcasing how many of Lynch's ideas stem from fine art. In a world where Everything is a Remix, it's nice to see that directors on the scale of Lynch are paying homage to their favorite works in this direct of a manner. The Bocklin and Edward Hopper tips of the hat were especially pleasant to see.

Spoiler alert, if you haven't been watching Season 3, you'll see plenty of footage in here that you might want to wait on.

Accidental Wes Anderson

posted July 10, 2017 #

The Subreddit Accidental Wes Anderson captures images from locations around the world that seem to be lifted directly from the director's work. They are often highly saturated, monochrome (one color, not b/w) and extremely symmetrical. They are exactly as you'd imagine them to be with a title like "Accidental Wes Anderson."

This gallery is a nice place to start for many of the Best Of images that really seem to evoke the Anderson style but there's plenty of submissions to wade through if you're looking for more. There are lots of gems and it's a nice reminder that the fantastic visual elements of those films do exist out there among us, you just have to be looking for them.

Perky Bros LLC

posted July 10, 2017 #

I recently came upon the Nashville design firm Perky Bros, a small shop making some excellent work. Their work for NJ microbrewery Forgotten Boardwalk Brewing is particularly compelling as they've given it a strong modern identity but leveraged a lot of stick-n-poke style tattoo illustrations to tie everything together. It feels great.

Lots of other fine work to peruse as well - such as the Woodland Wine Merchant, No 6 Depot and Run Mfg but I suggest a cruise through every piece, as they've all got something good to see.

Friday Videos - July 7th, 2017

posted July 7, 2017 #

I mentioned this on Twitter but before you dive into your deluge of Friday Videos, please take a moment to read this Naomi Klein interview that The AV Club posted recently. I get worn down by the daily barrage of awful news stemming from our country these days but Klein does a phenomenal job of articulating how we got here and how it continues to happen. They only ask her a handful of questions and she really runs with it in the most rewarding way.

I know politics are depressing so let this list of videos be your cleanser.

Can Stomper - this Letterman appearance of Line Dancing fused with Can Stomping is entrancing. Thanks to Geoff for helping me unearth.
Country Hip Hop - I also stumbled on this horrible instructional video. It's longer than your attention span but worth a scrub.
John Wick is Michael Jackson - I watched this and thought it was impressively stupid. Then I watched it again. Then I couldn't stop thinking about it and watched it again. Still stupid but worth a romp.
Eid Mubarak Dance - sometimes the Internet delivers the perfect gift.
Garth Brooks on Facebook - Cringe videos are all the rage. Never forget this 2014 missive from Chris Gaines.
What Year Is It? - a promo video for this rather bizarre 17776 art piece from SB Nation on Sports in the future. I'm not sure what to make of it but the video is oddly engaging.
Bigger than a Train Horn - I can't explain it but this guy has outfitted his truck with various train and ship horns. He drives to isolated areas and records them being played. It's a massive sound and a seemingly bizarre hobby. But who am I to judge? I loved watching it.
Bjork DJ Set - here's 9 minutes of Bjork being a totally regular, normal person but in the best Bjork way possible, DJing a party and dancing in full Bjork gear.

Sam Alden

posted July 7, 2017 #

This Sam Alden Garfield comic is a bit of a misrepresentation of his body of work as a whole but it's so well executed and perfectly creepy, it's a good starting point to familiarize yourself with more of what he does.

Alden's Tumblr is filled with full short stories of original characters traversing the world encountering oddities and the occasional hardships. It's not a panel from a thing he might make one day, it's the full thing.

Overall, he's probably most likely known for his work on Adventure Time or that Garfield comic but there's a lovely world of work to explore here if you're intrigued.
