Anthony Zinonos is a Hoarder

It’s no well kept secret that P’schoolers love Anthony Zinonos; his work and personality are both quite charming. Anthony has been posting pictures of all the wonderful vintage textures he comes across at car boot sales. Wait, what’s a car boot sale? For an honest opinion behind this magical place you’ll have to ask Anthony himself. Wikipedia “claims” that its a British form of a market in which private individuals come together to sell household and garden goods. Personally I think it’s a milk and honey treasure chest for collage artists and hoarders. See all of AZ’s flickr collection here.

SummerWinter by Amber B Diana

Really nice video that reveals all aspects of Amber B Diana’s most recent exhibition in LA. Her husband did a great job filming and the music is by the extremely rad band Cults.

Sy

Here we have some really creative graffiti by Sy.  I’ve never seen it done quite like this.  Via Format.  A couple more after the jump.

Helmut Smits

Helmut Smits is the kind of artist that you love to hate for having all the ideas you wished you had had. I spent a good while on his site yesterday digging around and can assure you its full of gold. I pulled a few selections for your enjoyment here, including the above titled Without Cabinet. More after the jump.

TypArchive

The preservation of the painted text is a passion of mine. Luckily I’m not the only one who feels that its an important task. Alice turned me on to the burgeoning TypArchive which serves the purpose of hosting an ever growing collection of user submitted photographs of painted typography as well as its 3-dimensional handcrafted equivalents. I’ve grabbed a selection of my favorites for this post, but you can spend a good amount of time digging around the site for yourself. Of course, you could also spend some time contributing to the collection for the benefit of everyone else as well. Thanks Alice!

I really like this work by Walker. Simplicity, loneliness, ennui.

Over it.

14.2 miles of string outlining 25 letters on 2,500 eyelets strung by hand by 18 artists, designers, fashion designers, copywriters, and art directors from Portland. This 18 person art show comprised of the familiar faces of Jelly Studio, Kate Bingaman-Burt, Justin Scrappers and Aaron Rayburn provides an amazing look into the collaborative process.

“18 humans created something that one person couldn’t. 18 busy people, that didn’t have time to spare, spared, made, fretted, and showed up. That’s enough, actually, everything else is bonus.” - Aaron Rayburn

For a full list of participants check out FortPort.
