I’m very excited to be apart of the NEW Club Mumble website with over 100 contributing artists, skateboarders, photographers, and bloggers all bringing content to one place. Keep up to date with all of us over at clubmumble.com. Click here to view the full list of contributors including myself. Happy 2009!
View the work of photographer Steve Schofield. My main love is environmental portraits, so I love his Land of the Free series.
His statement:
“My practice is concerned with exploring the fascination that the British public has with American popular culture and the sub-cultural world of fandom. In the images, I have shown people in their own homes and environments wearing costumes that they would be dressed in to attend events with other like-minded individuals. It seeks to offer a glimpse into seemingly ordinary lives of my subjects and allows the private to become public. The work hints at the depth of people’s fantasies and the methods they employ to adopt this culture as part of their own lifestyle as a means of escapism.”
View the work of New York based photographer Jon Feinstein. I’m most into his project “Small Signs” in which he explores man made ojects and how they intersect with our natural landscapes.
Mike Perry launches his new website, with new work, and a new domain name over at mikeperrystudio.com.
Not only is Mike a great friend of mine, but one of my favorite artists. He’s recently released his book of hand drawn patterns titled Over and Over and before that released Hand Job a book of handdrawn type, which are both beautiful.

I love his empty spaces, how he finds shapes, and the lines that one might not notice just at first glance.
Just added over at Little Paper Planes are these letterpresed and die-cut ornaments inspired by vintage tin cookie cutters. “Ready to assemble and hang on a tree or a gift with bakers twine.” Another simple cheap gift idea for someone.
I’ll keep trying to find simple gifts and possibly make a whole post on things I find along the way up until the Holidays. Feel free to post simple gifts like this in the comments too.

View the work of Brooklyn, NY based photographer Raoul Gatepin. I love his pL.A.nes series. (found via Booooooom.)
My buddy Dallas Clayton wrote and illustrated a new childrens book (also enjoyable at any age) titled “An Awesome Book!” that came out over the weekend. After reading it, I was inspired to reach for the stars and follow my dreams, I hope it can do that for you too.
Since it’s holiday time, this is great gift, it’s only $15 bucks and you can buy it here and preview the whole thing here.
About the book: “Based on the simple concept of dreaming big “An Awesome Book” is the inspiring debut work of Los Angeles writer/artist Dallas Clayton. Written in the vain of classic tales by Dr. Suess, Shel Silverstein, and Maurice Sendak it is a sure hit for all generations young and old.”
You can also keep up with Dallas at his new blog http://www.dallasclayton.com.
Over at Little Paper Planes, they have combed through the site and made links to their favorite products to help you find some gifts for this holiday season. You can click each of theirs names at the top to see what they’re recommending. It’s a nice place to start on a site with a lot of amazing stuff.
