Infectious hits the rust belt

19/03/2009

Welcome to the family Paul Burgess and his Urban Dirty catalog of “gritty, grimy and sometimes slimy” photos!

Urban Dirty was conceived in 2007 when Paul was mesmerized by the texture and ridges in this splatter of paint in the parking garage of his old work place. After taking the photograph, his eyes were opened up to the beauty of the texture and grit of Brighton, the city where he lives. He now collects all the paint-splatters, rusted metal and moss-crusted sidewalks that he finds inspiring him at urbandirty.com. He incorporates the photos in his artwork and as the backdrops of the websites he designs for bands like Royksopp and graffiti artists like Hutch. To see more of Paul’s work head to www.iampaulburgess.co.uk and delarge.co.uk

Also don’t forget to come say hi to Team Infectious on Twitter!

Emil ÷ MAD = Infectious’ Golden Ratio

12/03/2009

Today we welcome into the catalog two new pieces from Infectious founding artists Emil Kozak and MAD.

Emil Kozak shares with us a piece from his recent Trading Magic for Facts show. With “Fibonacci”, Emil wants to transport you back to your childhood, to a place where you spend all your days playing, without worrying about the future.

MAD switches it up with “MADGRAFIC” and trades in his more iconic character driven style for some hard edge graphics. He assures us that his name is buried in there somewhere. Yours to stripe across your laptop, iPhone or iPod from $9.99.

We’ve also just created an InfectiousArt Twitter account so that you can stay in the know on what we’re up to. Only seemed right seeing Tim who started Infectious, also had a hand in starting up Twitter. So if you’d like to pull back the curtain and see what goes on behind the scenes at Infectious HQ, you can follow us here.

Easy tiger! Infectious unleashes new vinyl art for your iPod, iPhone and laptop

04/03/2009

Congratulations to this weeks two new Open Submission winners!

Canadian-Indonesian artist Tessar Lo loves vintage stuff. He loves the mystique and stories that vintage objects acquire. He translates this obsession into his artwork, creating wash upon wash of color, “thin layers upon thin layers- the same way I guess older things accumulate layers of staining through either dust, dirt or smoke”. Tessar’s art was originally discovered by John Trippe from Fecal Face and they continued their support by inviting him to exhibit at their 7.5 anniversary show at 111 Minna. He is currently represented by Beau Basse from project:gallery and is preparing for his first solo entitled “future perfect”. www.tessarlo.com

Niel Quisaba (aka Digital Delight) hails from Manila in the Phillipines. He describes his cute characters as the visual equivalent of the theme tune from Mighty Mouse and Friends. His work has been featured in the Semi-Permanent book, Computer Arts magazine and BOX: The Evolution of Character Design. For more details please check out www.digitaldelight.org.

Infectious invites new artists into the catalog every week. So what are you waiting for? Come and join in the fun via Open Submissions, The City Series contest or our WordPress skins for bloggers competition!
