Pre-order: Laurie Lipton art book

Beinart.org is releasing “The Extraordinary Drawings of Laurie Lipton”, and while the book will not be shipped until December, the pre-order for the book is now available. The book will be roughly around 8″ x 11″, hardcover with 96 pages.. There is a nice blurb about Laurie and the book

“Laurie Lipton’s vast and eerily memorable drawings have been widely recognised for their sublime references to life’s predicaments. Portrayed with a teeth-clenching humour and consummate skill, her work is rich in imagination, artistry and social awareness. Laurie has been drawing since the age of four and has developed her own technique inspired by the 16th Century Flemish Masters: using thousands of tiny lines, like the brush strokes in an egg-tempera painting, to build-up tone and form.

At long last a comprehensive book on Lipton’s work has been published. The subject of her art— fear, politics, sexuality, murder, mayhem, greed, indifference — are timelessly classic yet relentlessly up to date. This publication is not only for art lovers, but for anyone who has ever seen the mask slip off “reality”.”

J.R. Goldberg limited edition skateboard

During the month of June, J.R. Goldberg had a skateboard design entered in a contest over at infectious.com. The winners have been announced and J.R. made top 5, we believe she was tops, but at least her design has been chosen to be sold on the site. The image is entitled “Is Anyone There?” and is a limited run, not sure how limited but I hope we can make these boards sell out as fast as possible. If you like collecting skateboards, or just want to help out an amazing artist make sure you head on over and check it out. J.R. also made sure to mention the Creep Machine in her interview here.
