Justin Walker is a spectacular photographer and exceptionally rad cat. He straddles a fine line. A line we know well; the delicate balance between managing and producing commercial work and finding the time to conceive and create personal work. Amen to those so conscious. The three of us spent a chunk of this morning perusing his portfolio. It’s quite impressive.

Nice little video whether you’re familiar with AJ’s work or not. We’ve been following his career for some time now (he used to have a studio at the old Andenken building). I’ve seen a few of his later pieces at David B. Smith Gallery and would love to pick one up in the future.

We just got wind that Chai and Diego (aka DGPH) have finished up their first comic “TOPO, ASOMBROSAS AVENTURAS / AMAZING ADVENTURES.” In their own words:
“It’s a 64 colour pages, soft cover, matte pages, filled with nonsese stories about the world we ve created. It comes with a sticker sheet to use in the book!”
Sounds awesome. “TOPO” will be prereleased at the Taipei Toy Festivat in Taiwan (July 9th), One UP! in Japan (July 18th) and Comicon San Diego (July 23rd - Munkyking booth). Otherwise you’ll have to wait until August 13th.

Denver by Design is a series of events and exhibitions taking place in the Mod Livin’ showroom during the month of August. The most exciting will be the DENVER BY DESIGN competition, a juried contest to select the best modern design object, art or furniture created by a Colorado designer. Our goals are two-fold; to bring attention to up and coming talent and to focus on the influence of modern design in our community.
The deadline is July 10th, 2009. In August, a winning design will be selected by the judges for a $1000 prize. Sorry for posting this up so late… but we’ve still got a few days to make magic happen right?!
More details can be found HERE.
