Devils Rancher - Art-wear

Devil's Rancher (User #19026) has created a site that is nominally "A T-shirt and Screen Printing Blog" but really it's about the whole biz of scree-printing and the things that go along with it. I really enjoyed his latest post on how to make an optimal screenprinting set-up which he was recently able to do with the space he works out of in Austin TX.

Thorzdad (User #20558) does illustration and design and he's quite good at it. Also his daughter is a high school grad and was a straight A student. Way to go Dad!

Bård Edlund—edlundart

edlundart (User #10322) hangs out in the MeFiMusic backwaters a lot, and Bård's website showcases his music alongside his other artistic outlets--photography and poetry included. But it's his digital images and illustrations that stand out--mostly very tactile-looking, geometric, featureless bendy people, posed in various ways among simple, stark backdrops. There are also a few wordless comix featuring these people. The miscellaneous section of the site also yields a couple of gems: Bård has designed a double-heeled stiletto and a thong with f-holes! (F-holes as in like what's on a violin.) In his bio, we learn that Bård is "pronounced 'Board,' or yes, 'Bored.'" [Insert your own pun about boredom leading to creativity here.]

The design is pretty no-nonsense, sans bells-n-whistles, sometimes mildly frustrating as options for navigation are found in tiny fonts at the bottoms of some pages; but that was easy to spot after a few clicks.

gregorg—greg.org

gregorg's (User #18194) greg.org is a great site about (mostly) modern art and film and video. His reviews and observations are well-presented and interesting, and he's got some real gems (like an interview with Errol Morris). I like that today when I came across the site the lead article was about the Richard Serra show at MOMA, as I've been sending out a series of postcards commemorating Tilted Arc lately. This is a website worth spending some time reading, but it isn't light or quickly digested.
