Tom Gregory: The Influence of the LA Streets on Art

Tom Gregory: The Influence of the LA Streets on Art:

Cover of Endless Summer [UMD for PSP]

L.A. Influential features a panel of native Los Angeles artists discussing the current interest in LA's diverse subcultures' impact on art as demonstrated in exhibitions such as MOCA's Art in the Streets and Street Cred: Graffiti Art from Concrete to Canvas at the Pasadena Museum of California Art. These exhibitions have raised myriad dialogues concerning art and the cultural influence of Los Angeles in the global art scene.

John Van Hamersveld is known for an enormous catalog of pop images. From his iconic poster for the movie The Endless Summer, which singularly summarizes surf culture, to his album cover work for The Beatles (Magical Mystery Tour), Blondie (Eat To The Beat), Jefferson Airplane (Crown of Creation) and the Rolling Stones (Exile On Main Street) to name but a few, Van Hamersveld's iconic images have had a tremendous impact on popular culture and fashion from the early 60s to the present. Shepard Fairey recently acknowledged that Van Hamersveld's iconic Hendrix concert poster influenced his Obama "Hope" image.

Typographic posters of Alvin Diec | grain edit

grain edit Alvin Diec:

"Running across the work of Alvin Diec was a real treat. Alvin’s in Atlanta, and he sure makes a fine poster, among other things. I love his use of type and restrained style.
hampus jageland

The thinking behind is work is evident — it’s fresh, and doesn’t approach the clichés rampant in much of today’s poster scene. Due to the number of choice pieces, I’m highlighting Alvin’s poster work exclusively. Be sure to browse his site, though, his logo and branding pieces are exceptional as well."

NZ Gig Poster: The great Prince Tui Teka | Stuff.co.nz

The great Prince Tui Teka | Stuff.co.nz:

"One of the best presents I have ever been given is a print of a Prince Tui Teka gig poster; my parents gave it to me as a gift for finishing my university degree - roughly a decade after I started it. But that part's not important to the story.

It's framed now. It hangs in the hallway of our home. Not the degree. That has coffee stains and cigarette burns on it (no, really) and will never be put to use. No, I mean the Tui Teka print. It's framed and has pride of place outside our study; near the front door. I pass it every day and it reminds me of Tui - a hero of mine.

Prince Tui Teka learned his craft/earned his stripes working with The Maori Volcanics and other showbands of the time. He was born Tui Teka and took on 'Prince' as part of his stage-name; a royalty bestowed upon him. Elvis was the King, so he wanted to be (New Zealand's) Prince. Another stage name was Tui Latui - he performed in bands, The Royal Samoans and Maoris and Prince Tui Latui & The Maori Troubadours."
