Though I’ve always considered Conan O’Brien to be the funniest guy on late-night TV, I never really watched his show religiously. It wasn’t until seeing Conan O’Brien Can’t Stop that I became a “true” fan. The film won me over partly because it revealed how truly upset Conan was about how NBC’s handled the time slot debacle with Jay Leno. Even though Conan was by no means struggling to survive, I can get behind anyone with a creative vision who acknowledges and fights for what they are worth, tooth and nail.
During the six-month period that NBC banned Conan from appearing on TV, he was flooded with fan support—a lot of which came in the form of artwork. This past week, the New York Museum of Conan Art curated a selection of those gifts from fans to be shown at the Time Warner Center in New York City.
A few of my favorites after the click.
It seems as though more people are embracing hand painted murals/signs nowadays. I’m loving this one by Bryan Patrick Todd in Louisville, Kentucky. It’s located on a building in the Highlands, which is a funky and popular little neighborhood there. Way to embrace your local identity guys!
Happy Friday folks!
I’m really enjoying the work of Brooklyn based artist Courtney Reagor. She has a great sense of humor to her work that meshes really well with her slapstick aesthetic. Courtney manages to showcase a wacky personality in all of her work including this green onion wearing a scrunchie!
Also, make sure to check out her blog Raised On Sandwiches.
Wow, I love the photography of Diego Gravi… Oh snap, that’s not photography, that’s a painting! Diego Gravinese is a super talented artist specializing in hyper-realism. The paintings are astounding. More after the jump…
A few weeks ago, our very own Casey Dunn was asked to take photographs of various homes for the October issue of Tribeza magazine. This month his work is featured on the cover as well as across three articles. Even though creating the work during an ACL surgery recovery, the photographs deliver a sharp image of Austin’s most architecturally compelling homes. If you are in Austin, be sure to pick up a copy and if not, you can check out the magazine online. More selects after the jump.
