Keep that weekend golden, baby.
Bicicleta Sem Freio
Brazil has been tearing it up as of late, and I appreciate the colorful, crazy-ass style that country produces. If you need an example, look no further than Bicicleta Sem Freio (Bicycle without breaks), a trio of Brazilian dudes killing it big with their illustrations. These guys were so amped to make posters for a band that they just formed one of their own. You can see the results for yourself, and they won’t disappoint. Looks like sometime soon I’m gonna have to take a trip to ol’ Brazil, soak up some of that fresh art flavor. Anyone interested in bank-rolling my journey? I’ll write you something real good, and bring back plenty of photos of myself doing stupid things. Include bail money in your financial presentation.

Not even close to enough
Jimmy Baker
Finally someone that loves the sky as much as I do. But in this case Jimmy Baker has one-upped me, because I could never paint the sky that well. I’m also a big fan of how he creates such soft edges; makes everything seem a little out of focus, a little more idyllic. Top notch, old bean.
Christopher Delorenzo
I know that dude is blowing up on the internet recently, but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that Christopher Delorenzo can do no wrong design-wise. I’m pretty sure that he and Frank Chimero need to form like Voltron and melt our brains out with their laser-sword of amazing illustration. In the meantime, Chris has me opening my sketchbook after a long hiatus, so now I owe him a serious favor. Need anybody killed, Chris?
Rollin’ by Bandito Design Co
I just want you to know: this print is awesome. That is all.
Tyler Lang
Oh, Tyler Lang, with your oh-so-buttery infographics, and your simply-sweet iconography. If I were one of those weirdos that is into some freaky shit, I would be into that freaky shit with your design work. Me and your design work would date for a while, and then, after we had slept together a few times, we would have an awkward conversation about the freaky shit that I wanted to do, and your design work would look me in the eyes and say “ok, just don’t tell anyone about it.” It would be weird and hot. That is if I was into stuff like that. Which I’m not.
M. Escribano
Man, these photographs are like a cool drink of water on a hot day. I think I’m partial to the black and whites, because the contrast and complexity are really well put together. But the color work is almost as good, which puts it around 12 on a scale of 1-10. Just some really fantastic photography, and not because of the boobs either. Although they certainly didn’t hurt.
Beardoff 2009 Judging
*voting is now closed* For those of you that voted, thanks and keep watch for the randumb prize winner tomorrow. For the other 300 people who read the post and didn’t bother to vote: eat a syphilitic dick. Can’t even spare 30 seconds to vote. Cock-knockers.
At the beginning of April my friend Matt and I decided that it was high time we stopped being little girls and grew manly beards. Dudes that we are, we decided to make it interesting by turning the whole beard growing process into a competition, and so Beardoff 2009 was born. Both of us have suffered through the slow, itchy, and disgusting process of growing a beard for 30 long days, and now it’s time for the winner to be decided. That’s where you come in, internet. We need you to be our impartial judges, so one of us can throw their beard-mastery in the other’s face. The loser also has to buy the winner a big, manly, delicious steak, because we’re men and that’s what men eat.
To sweeten the pot, one random voter will be chosen to receive some sweet prizes in the form of a DEATHCAT!!! t-shirt that Matt designed, and probably some drawing from my sketch book. That’s as good as we can offer without corporate sponsorship. The real prize is knowing that you have helped one man make another man cry, and at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about.
Leave your vote in the comments. Make sure to leave your e-mail so we can contact you about your fabulous prizes.
