Yes, typography is all that and a bag of chips, and we have a long-standing love affair with signage old and new—but what happens when you wipe the slate (or in this case the photo) clean of the ABCs? http://www.los-list.com/blog/shutterbug-josef-schulz/feed/ 2 http://www.los-list.com/blog/found-at-etsy-stellarquilts/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/found-at-etsy-stellarquilts/#comments Tue, 01 Feb 2011 00:14:56 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10885

Stellarquilts Phobos V2 Quilt

I've always been a lover of quilts - watching my mother create exquisite ones as a child, starting my own collection once I moved to New York City and discovered the East Village Flea and the wonders of eBay, standing awestruck before each Gee's Bend quilt during the Guggenheim exhibition a few years back... http://www.los-list.com/blog/found-at-etsy-stellarquilts/feed/ 4 http://www.los-list.com/blog/big-screen-chris-rubino-love-kills-demons/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/big-screen-chris-rubino-love-kills-demons/#comments Fri, 14 Jan 2011 00:38:40 +0000 Rebecca Prusinowski http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10777

How does an artist move forward without forsaking his past? Take something he's already made and give it new meaning? Over the course of one year, filmmaker Jim Helton documented New York-based artist Chris Rubino as he explored these paradigms and new direction in his work... http://www.los-list.com/blog/big-screen-chris-rubino-love-kills-demons/feed/ 3 http://www.los-list.com/blog/i-heart-art-karolin-schnoor/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/i-heart-art-karolin-schnoor/#comments Wed, 12 Jan 2011 20:52:26 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10673

Although Karolin Schnoor's roots are in Berlin and her home base is London, we can't help but notice (and love) the very Slavic vibe behind her illustrations, paintings, and sketches... http://www.los-list.com/blog/i-heart-art-karolin-schnoor/feed/ 6 http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-handmade-etsy/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-handmade-etsy/#comments Thu, 02 Dec 2010 21:57:39 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=10261

Etsy has to be one of the coolest places for gift giving — simply because most of the offerings on the site are handcrafted and one-of-a-kind. But, with this endless trove of offerings, a bushy-eyed shopper can quickly get dissuaded by too much good stuff... http://www.los-list.com/blog/gift-guide-top-ten-handmade-etsy/feed/ 9 http://www.los-list.com/blog/i-heart-art-orto-collective/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/i-heart-art-orto-collective/#comments Thu, 18 Nov 2010 01:46:10 +0000 Adriane Q. http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=9979

While the Americans are still cranking out duct-tape wallets, the Slovenians have gone above and beyond. (Tape wallets? That’s sooo '90s Janeane Garofolo at a Pavement show.) En lieu of spray-paint, the ten-person ORTO collective relies on neon-toned industrial tape — the material best known for fixing disasters — taping over the city’s dull streets with scream-worthy graphics... http://www.los-list.com/blog/i-heart-art-orto-collective/feed/ 2 http://www.los-list.com/blog/fashion-scout-lines-lab/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/fashion-scout-lines-lab/#comments Fri, 12 Nov 2010 18:42:48 +0000 Rebecca Prusinowski http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=9906

On a jaunt to the Far East this summer, Lo's List discovered Line's Lab. Based in Macau, China, Line's Lab is a multi-disciplinary design hub innovating fashion, products, furniture and events. Founders Clara Brito and Manuel CS arrived from their native Portugal in 2006. With its Portuguese heritage and access to textiles and production houses in mainland China, Macau seemed like the perfect place to establish their biz. "China is evolving so quickly and creatively," Brito gushed at her studio. "To witness that and be a part of it is really inspiring." http://www.los-list.com/blog/fashion-scout-lines-lab/feed/ 10 http://www.los-list.com/blog/shutterbug-sebastiaan-bremer/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/shutterbug-sebastiaan-bremer/#comments Mon, 11 Oct 2010 17:41:26 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=8562

These new works by Sebastiaan Bremer are a tinted and tender reflection of the artist's personal history, full of the vague layered euphorium that tends to surround family holidays of years gone by... http://www.los-list.com/blog/shutterbug-sebastiaan-bremer/feed/ 6 http://www.los-list.com/blog/second-look-dick-bruna-books/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/second-look-dick-bruna-books/#comments Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:36:55 +0000 Jerome Luc Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=8132

Dutch author and illustrator Dick Bruna is probably best known as the creator of Miffy — Nijntje in Dutch — the cute but inscrutable rabbit dressed like a toddler and pictured, in bold lines and primary colors, at the zoo, in the snow, at the seaside, etc... http://www.los-list.com/blog/second-look-dick-bruna-books/feed/ 17 http://www.los-list.com/blog/from-tel-aviv-haifa-broken-fingaz-crew/ http://www.los-list.com/blog/from-tel-aviv-haifa-broken-fingaz-crew/#comments Mon, 30 Aug 2010 13:55:28 +0000 Lo Martin http://www.los-list.com/blog/?p=7999

One of our hands-down favorite crews bombing the walls of Tel Aviv is the Haifa-based Broken Fingaz Crew. The 10-year-strong foursome (Tant, Unga, Dezo, and Kip) have a hypnotizing and intricate style which recalls 1960's psychedelic posters, old school American comics, and B-rated horror flick poster typography... http://www.los-list.com/blog/from-tel-aviv-haifa-broken-fingaz-crew/feed/ 25
