There is some great art hanging in the most unlikely places. Places where generic reprints dutifully fulfill their obligation to not offend anyone. But sometimes, illustrators like San Diego’s Lyndi Parrett (@Lyndiparrett) provide the visuals for places like the housing at the University of California San Diego. Parrett recently used Twitter to share three pictures of the panels she created. The simplicity of those panels can be found in some of her other work at lyndiparrett.com. The site also houses some of Parrett’s extremely detailed illustration skills.
Color me ignorant, but I always assumed that those big graphics on the side of trucks, buses and trailers were just created by some computer magic. I didn’t realize that what I was looking at was a large moving canvas upon which a designer practices his or her art. Loring Studios is a Lake Elsinore company that designs and installs vehicle wrap. On Twitter, they go by @awthentikwraps, and they share pictures of their work, like this one of a California Pizza Kitchen trailer. I heart pizza, so I knew I had to share this picture when I saw the trailer roll through my Twitter stream.
Crewest calls itself “Downtown LA’s premier graffiti gallery.” Its director, Man One (@crewest), is an artist himself and is all over social media. I heard about his art, and the gallery, when Man One shared this piece on Twitter during a recent trip to Monterey Bay. You can see art from Crewest, and more of Man One’s work, on his Flickr page. You can also catch Crewest on MySpace and Facebook. For the latest gallery news, make sure to subscribe to the gallery’s blog and don’t forget to visit crewest.com for everything else.
