Think Green. From the advice to sink in slowly project, which enlists design graduates in passing on advice and inspiration to first year students through an ongoing series of posters. Uber cool.

Otis Frizzell - Hero Tiki. Otis, and his father Dick Frizzell, were one of the highlights for me at this year’s Semi-Permanent. I loved this stencil in particular. Very cool.
Cassette Portraits. Erika Iris Simmons, a 26-year old self-taught artist, got into cassette-tape portraiture after noting how the coiled, stringy reels of old cassettes resembled Jimi Hendrix’ hair. Since then she has added similar likenesses of Kurt Cobain, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, and other icons to her portfolio. Cool. (via @glennztees)
Here Comes The Colours. My favourite from 2001, Simon Page’s minimalistic print series inspired by the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Jeremy Geddes. Cosmonauts. What more needs to be said. Some very cool paintings from Australian artist Jeremy Geddes. (via Kitsune Noir)
I came across Rin Nadeshico’s work today. She combines modern female characters with traditional Japanese styles. Very cool.

Secret Identity - The Fetish Art of Superman’s Co-Creator Joe Shuster.
Now here’s a coffee table book! From the book’s website:
“Secret Identity showcases rare and recently discovered erotic artwork by Superman’s co-creator Joe Shuster. Created in the early 1950s when Shuster was down on his luck after trying to reclaim the copyright for Superman, he illustrated these images for an obscure series of magazines called Nights of Horror, sold under the counter until they were banned by the U.S. Supreme Court. A murder trial, juvenile delinquency, anti-comics crusader Dr. Fredric Wertham, and the neo-Nazi Brooklyn Thrill Killers gang all figure into this sensational story.
The discovery of this artwork and the story behind it by historian Craig Yoe reveals the ‘secret identity’ of this revered comics creator, and is sure to change the way we look at Shuster and his creations—Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and Jimmy Olsen—forever.”
