Keepin Up With...Phlegm

Alpha Zine

Last month i was sorting through some of my lettering to make up the word phlegm for the header on this blog, and i realised i was pretty close to having the whole alphabet. So this week I've sat down and done the last few and started screen printing it as a small a6 book. The next issue of my comic is taking a while so i figured it would be nice to do this in the mean time.
Here is the test print for the cover. Silver and metallic navy ink on black card. Its going to take a while to screen print all the inside pages but i hope to have it all done by the end of June.

Thanks to Phlegm for text and images.

JUXTAPOZ
June 11 Edition



Woop...Juxtapoz has hit the stands and with a devil ridin a surf board on the cover, the mind
boggles as to what's happening inside...lets take a look.

The cover 'Surf or Die' by Don Ed Hardy is one of the artists featured in the mag, along with The History of American Graffiti (the title we reviewed not so long ago), Sage Vaughn, Marnie Weber, Bread and Puppet and much more...

Graffiti Revolution: The making of The American Graffiti.
Jux talks to Roger Gastman and Caleb Neelon about the compiling of the book and amount of memorabilia they had to wade through to get to the end product, an interesting read especially if you have seen how thick the book is. Take a look at our review at the bottom this post.

Marnie Weber: An exploration of her art, collage, music, stage performance and her belief in ghosts

We also noticed they have a "Background" box as a new feature with their interviews.
Full of the multi-coloured style and charisma that we've come to expect from Jux, it doesn't disappoint!

Big Eye Art

Blonde Blythe and Jasmine Becket-Griffith

Publishers: Merrell

Everyone likes eyes don't they, these orbs are the windows to the soul, or so they say??

So let's talk eyes then, they are focal points in most art, from animals to portraits, weird things from the blue lagoon and every imaginary image in between, so are they important- we think so!

This is why we are reviewing an older book (2008), but one that should exist in your collection...a virtual eye-opener in orbital art images (try saying that fast)☋

"Big eye"art was introduced and was a phenomenon of the 1950's by artists like Margaret Keane and Gig they drew sweet illustrations of young waifs and strays, their art attracted a cult following. Things have changed now you get gothic lolitas, witches, demons, cult dolls, fearsome felines and other mythical concoctions leap out at you from this compelling book.

Author and illustrator Blonde Blythe (Toni Boozer) was into dolls and art and decided to combine the two. Now painting big eyed characters like mermaids, pin up girls, doll-like fairies. She is in the book along with the other artists listed below.

Abril Andrade

Sherri Balady

Jasmine Becket-Griffith

Misty Benson

Lindsay Cormier

Dennis Finley

Carrie Hawks

Noelle Hunt

Mark Gleason

Misha

And there's more...another 12 artists to be exact.

So if your scanning the horizon for some excellent eye candy then don't delay, get along to Merrell Publishing for more info...at bottom of post.
