FM Hansen (@fmhansen) is a freelance illustrator and artist in the Los Angeles area. The other day, he shared his “attempt at painting on an object.” It looks like a miniature recycling bin transformed into a tribal trash receptacle. Make sure to check out the FM Hansen site to see more of his work, follow his blog for events and the story behind particular pieces, and shop at his Etsy store to buy his prints.
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.
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.
