Friday Illustrations: Beer, bathrooms, & The Shining
-
Stay frosty:
- For the Beck’s Canvas project, "Four young artists will be selected by a panel of judges from the Royal College of Art to showcase their art on the labels of over 27 million bottles to be distributed nationwide from August 2008." [Via]
- Bryan Hughes came across a great Photoshop beer-drawing tutorial from Eren Göksel.
- How to draw anything in one step: Draw a dog covering the thing you can’t draw. (You may want to combine this with the drinking.) [Via]
- It’s the Waiting for Guffman of puzzle-making: Garson Hampfield, Crossword Inker is a subtle, insanely well observed parody of craftsmen who are just a tad too into their work.
- Love this set of paintings of families from films (the Torrances from The Shining, the Griswolds from Vacation, and more).
- Interesting bathroom decorating idea: pixels to tiles.

I thought the “How to draw anything” post was hilarious, especially since the person who publishes the post is named Katz!
[Nice; hadn't noticed that. Our neighbors' cat features a black & white finish that could be called "tuxedo" or "holstein," so we settled on calling him "Tuxstein" and claiming that his grandmother's name was Katz (ba dum, tssch). --J.]
Hey those are cool links!
The psdtuts.com is terrific tut site especially when viewed with a frosty Becks.
Stay frosty, eh? Would that make you Godfather or Captain America?
[My head says Iceman (as I resemble a less handsome/muscular version of that guy), but my heart--and running mouth--say Person. --J.]
“Garson Hampfield, Crossword Inker” — hilarious! And even a brilliant observation about a lot of idiotic attitudes prevalent in “modern art” — as well as other aspects of the human comedy/tragedy.
Pixels to tiles, what a wonderful idea. Reminds me of this marvelous fabric with which one could expand the concept to the living room: http://www.thecoolhunter.net/house/Pixel-Couch/
i think pixel to tiles is best. i can try it
Another thanks for the Crossword Inker ‘documentary’ link.
The sequence where Garson Hampfield compares the work of two other bumfreys is sublime.
