abstract landscapes
Before I first encountered the work of painter Richard Mayhew, I never quite understood the notion that large-scale color field paintings operate as a form of landscape. Clearly, Mayhew incorporates the rhapsody and the elusiveness of abstraction while utilizing layered colors and light to recreate horizon lines and natural forms. You can check out more of Mayhew's work at G.R. N'Namdi Gallery in Chicago.

scene of the day
Move over Beyoncé and Rih Rih. First Lady Michelle Obama on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in late 2008. Take note of the brushing off of the shoulders...

compare/contrast
In this rendition of rapper Ludacris' album cover for "Theatre of the Mind," graphic designer Joe Buck is taking cues from OSPAAAL, the Organization of Solidarity of the People of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. OSPAAAL has been active since the 1960s, housing one of the most sophisticated workshops for poster production in the world. Artist and late Black Panther Party Minister of Culture Emory Douglass once collaborated with OSPAAAL in efforts to speak out against the subjugation of people of color all over the world. Contemporary artists like Shepard Fairey and Joe Buck are drawing upon a legacy of image production that even today still resonates with society.

Feeling very mainstream/futuristic today. Common's "Universal Mind Control" and Lupe Fiasco's "Daydreaming" featuring Jill Scott. Robots anyone?
