Freedom found at Writers Block in San Diego

Who do you think posted this picture of graffiti art in San Diego? If you answered Youth Minister D.J. Iverson, you would be right. He spotted this piece, which he refers to as “Freedom”, at the Writers Block. Don’t worry, this man of religion is not condoning illegal activity here. Iverson says the Block is a totally legal place to paint. He posts more pictures like this, and other “ramblings”, on his Mac-powered djiverson.com. If you want to see more pictures from the Writers Block, make sure to visit this feature on Best San Diego and more on TrendyInk.com.

Funky artist uses Inspire to paint on iPhone

Overton Loyd (@overtonloyd), creative director for George Clinton, is apparently a digital finger painter. When he recently upgraded the Inspire iPhone app, he shared this mobile painting and predicted that the art of the future could be created “with fingers by kids raised on iPads.” You can find more of Loyd’s art on his site. You can find more Inspire art in the growing Flickr group.

Spy girl Yuki 7 makes Twitter appearance

Last month, Los Angeles illustrator Kevin Dart (@kevindart) announced that he finished this poster, which was inspired by Scott Campbell (@scottlava). The art is a promotional piece for one of many fictional films starring “swinging 60’s spy girl” Yuki 7. The book “Seductive Espionage” invites you to enter Yuki 7′s world, as illustrated in all its futuristic retro-ness by Dart.

I’ve don’t post videos on 140pix, but I think Yuki 7′s ultra-cool theatrical trailer, directed by Dart and animator Stephane Coedel, warrants an exception. Enjoy the animated espionage and if you want to know what it’s like to develop a trailer for a non-existent movie, read this interview with Dart, Coedel and composer Cyrille Marchesseau.
