Tom Sachs tries to familiarize us with the Studio Color Code. Represented by a standard 52 card deck, it’s a fun look at color theory.

There is revolution afoot in the world of Typography. Defenders of the font Comic Sans have banded together to try and bring a better understanding and appreciation to the often maligned type set. Casting recognizable brands and logos in the infamous type, the people running Comic Sans Project might just change some minds. It’s not just the font of the family news letter anymore.

Banksy recently updated the “outdoor” section of his website to include several new pieces in the UK. Looks like we are eating our words about the falling shopping cart piece.

In November, we brought you the images of El Mac’s work at the Montana Factory in Barcelona Spain. Today, Mac released this awesome wide format video on his blog. The video was made by Popcranc, who issued the following statement about the vid:

From the very start, when we had the opportunity to speak with Mac and find out more about his work, we decided to center the video idea not on the mural process, but on the style and inspiration of the author. The suggestive image of the girl which he painted really reminded us of Andy Warhol’s screen tests, and the simple details characteristic of Jean-Luc Godard’s Anna Karina. So we threw ourselves into the project, playing with that inspiration. The main thing was to use the dramatic combination of black and white, just as Mac did with his piece. We had a great time during the whole process with Mac, Ari, and Kim, and hope that they’ll come back to Barcelona soon. Many thanks to Montana for the opportunity!

Wyatt Mason penned an article about Ai Weiwei in the December 2011 issue of GQ. The article gives a lot of background on the artist, including chronicling his time spent living in New York, in the 1980’s.  The article also goes into detail about Ai’s constant struggle with the PRC. It’s definitely worth the read. Check it out over here.

In a cheeky set of new ads, the College for Creative Studies liken art school to drug use in not so subtle ways. Will this reverse psychology work? This is your brain on art kids, heed the warning…

ADR Studios brings us these hyper-realistic renderings of the way designer Antonio DeRosa imagines that Apple could further foray into the field of digital photography. The concept sports a modular design, in which the iPhone (based on the anticipated specs of the iPhone 5) docks in the rear of the camera unit and controls the camera.

The infamous London Police recently opened a solo exhibit at NYC’s Opera Gallery, called “Who Cares Wins.” Opening night featured an original music performance by the duo.

The London Police started when big English geezers headed to Amsterdam in 1998 to rejuvenate the visually disappointing streets of the drug capital of the world.

The motive was to combine traveling and making art to create an amazing way of life not seen since the days of King Soloman. Known for their iconic LADS characters and precision marking TLP have been together for over 13 years and their work has graced streets and galleries in 35 countries during this time. London policemen have come and gone but founding members are still known to walk the streets of every city in the world spreading love with pens and stickers.

The current duo have managed to form a partnership more cohesive than Han Solo and Chewbacca in Star Wars and are consistently producing slick artwork that is tighter than a butlers cuff. Never be scared, don’t be a hero and let the good times roll.

I was wondering how I could add to my vintage camera collection the other day and these are perfect. Such a cool concept to repurpose these old camera.

Jason Hull is repurposing (not pristine) vintage cameras from the 1950s and 1960s by turning them into swell nightlights. Hull, a long-time employee at Pixar, created them to sell at the company’s craft fair in December but says he’ll “put any unsold nightlights up on etsy” afterwards. via: Laughing Squid

I am going to be stalking his flickr page for updates until they go up on etsy…
