It’s inappropriate, but hilarious. Childlike, but grown. Like David Shrigley, but with color. Rob White’s forté for making satirical art at its most primal and ridiculous degree can be found in his ongoing project the Art Hole. Since 2002, a growing collection of exactly 907 drawings and 5 pieces of animation have been stockpiled, investigating politics, humor, and the unconventional. Check his stuff here.

FRENDEN’s explosively colorful illustrations came to us late last night via the whispernetz and forced us to immediately watch a stack of powell peralta videos, do an acid drop, and call in our medicinal marijuana prescription. If these prints came in blacklightable velvet we’d quit everything, make our bedrooms into a shrine to teenagedom, and dole out bags of whipits and JD cards to all our friends as communion.

Antwerp-based artist Kati Heck’s porn meets renaissance mosaic collage has been a recent inspiration in WMIG land. Her work expresses a complex visual narrative through photorealism and roughly illustrated images all smooshed into a massive single image that falls just short of making sense.

It could be the sad, sad sound of the always-growing-louder death knell of print that gets me all squishy for John-Paul Thurlow’s blog, COVERS, or the quaint nostalgia emanating from the stacks upon stacks of glossy magazines which I no longer have in my possession; but no matter which it is, combined with some swine flu and the remote possibility of someone douchey going to jail for torture, it feels like the times are a changing. So, what better way to celebrate than to sit with some beautifully illustrated mag covers from simpler times and toast to cooling off. Cheers!
