B/D Apparel Releases Seven New Designs for Fall '09!
 |
Beautiful/Decay just released seven new designs just in time for Fall! Artists Colin Strandberg, The SickSystems, Ben Tegel, Jessica Hische and Official Classic created some stand-out graphics you have to see to believe! |
Masters Of Disaster
The SickSystems take a superhero, high-octane title and combine it with a 2D/3D, building block style font. A real stand out in the primary colors of red, yellow and blue. Secretly embedded in the core design is the B/D Flag! |
Castle (White body)
Colin Strandberg's magic castle proudly flies the B/D Flag from each of its multi-colored towers. Mysterious googly eyes, cobwebs, snakes and tentacles peek out from each of its tiny windows. Who knows what else lays behind the B/D kingdom's locked gates?
|
Sleep When You're Dead
Jessica Hische takes the slightly macabre notions of resting in peace, the afterlife and all things spooky and transforms them into a bright, bold and playful slogan. White lily flowers and grinning skulls adorn tattoo-inspired typography- don't miss the tiny bone that takes the place of the standard Beautiful/Decay backslash!

Masters Of Disaster
The SickSystesms creates a bold shoots and ladders-style 2-bit logo, joined together brick by pixelated brick straight out of your Atari 3000. |
Time Warp
Colin Strandberg creates a throw-back to the mid-80's, "time warping" us into a strange, neon-laser vector graph in space. Purple mountains, owls, lightening, wolves howling at the moon, pyramids....need we say more?
|
One Man Band
Southern California based musician and illustrator Ben Tegel created this band T-shirt inspired graphic, based on his own experiences in frenetic rock n' roll bands.

Castle (Charcoal body)
Colin Strandberg's magic castle proudly flies the B/D Flag from each of its multi-colored towers. Mysterious googly eyes, cobwebs, snakes and tentacles peek out from each of its tiny windows. Who knows what else lays behind the B/D kingdom's locked gates? |

Southern California based musician and illustrator Ben Tegel created this band T-shirt inspired graphic, based on his own experiences in frenetic rock n' roll bands.
|
Geometric Bliss
Official Classic creates a retro-futuristic design that reminds us of high-tech, but in the 70's....think Space Mountain meets Buckminster Fuller! Exploding with multi-sided geometric forms!

B/D Blog Digest

Scott Wade
Scott Wade lives on a dirt road, full of limestone dust that loves to rest on the back window of any car that goes through it. Seizing the opportunity, Wade, instead of writing something like “Scott was here,” started his very own genre of art, “Dirty Car Art.” Yes, Wade “paints” with dirt. |
My Lover the Server
For anyone who has received one of Facebook’s virtual gifts from a lover, or a sultry, romantically-inclined message from a high school crush via Myspace, check out the upcoming exhibition “My Lover The Server” at the Concrete Store, Amsterdam. Digital artists Champagne Valentine, above, have created a series of looping animated wallpapers that explore the notion of internet romance, drawing on real digital communications with web stalkers, strangers and actual lovers, inviting the public to remotely interact with the artwork.

Beryl Fine
Beryl Fine’s newest exploration into the extraordinary ordinary is his series entitled “Baby Mama.” As the image above alludes, Amy-Ann is “very pregnate and very beautiful.” Fine’s series evokes an odd sensation, not sure if we should laugh, turn away, or see the beauty of a proudly pregnant woman. “Ordinary Beauty” indeed. |
Brion Nuda Rosch
Brion Nuda Rosch creates what I can best describe as collage-interventions that complicate the “reading” of every day photographs, paint, found objects and magazine spreads. Through the simplest of gestures, Rosch construes new layers and meanings within the context of his images.
