Augustine Kofie at the White Walls Gallery

The amazing Augustine Kofie returns to the White Walls gallery in San Francisco next month for a new solo exhibition called ‘Circulatory System’.

I was lucky enough to see his previous exhibition there last year and he has posted two pieces from the forthcoming show here.

Also Kofie makes music as 4×4 Tracktor and he posted a soundtrack to the show

70’s Sci-Fi logos and magazine design

Going through a couple of recently acquired Mediascene magazines today from the late 70’s and I was struck by how much more imaginatively designed the headers on some of the articles were. A lot of them riffed off of film or comic logo design of the age but were mini works of art in themselves. I’ve included various shots of comic logos from ads in the mags too.

 

Olly Moss (again) Resistance 3 designs

Traveling past London Bridge station today I spotted a huge banner of Olly Moss’ Resistance 3 design, two poster designs are below.
And here’s a great little trailer inspired by his designs too

The Death Set new album & single artwork

.

Remember the iconic artwork for the first Death Set record back in 2009? One of my favourite covers of the year and their new releases are high on the list for 2011 as well. Another blend of B&W collage with yellow and red, this time coming on like Richard Hamilton meeting Eduardo Paolozzi. Below are the album and singles, front and back, plus a tour poster I found featuring additional artwork. Buy ’em all here.
