‘Be a Pin Up’ is a life-sized pin art installation by Lulu Guinness for Clerkenwell Design Week.

Original post found at Creative Greed.

The story behind the partnership of Trek Bicycle and iconic contemporary artist, Shepard Fairey (Obey) to create a new race aesthetic for Team RadioShack’s 2011 Tour of California.

ElectricSun found this at Design You Trust.

He was responsible for the classic Guns Of Brixton bassline and now the Clash bassist has been immortalised in a new limited edition artwork – The Guns Of Brixton (Paul Simonon) limited edition print by Obey.

Obey is, of course, Shepard Fairey and this is unmistakably his artwork, based on an original Clash-era photo by Kate Simon. The print is sized at 18 x 24 inches, signed by both Shepard Fairey and Kate Simon and limited to 450.

Just one per household allowed to be bought, you can secure one online for just $75.

‘I Love Acid’ T-shirt by Electric Sun… Available now!
Cast your mind back, if you can, to 1988 and the (second) ‘Summer of Love’. Illegal parties were being hosted in inconspicuous venues up and down the country and the headline-grabbing acid house phenomenon was everywhere. Drug use and police raids fuelled negative press coverage, but the psychedelic sound of acid house had a defining role in the development of electronic music and became a part of music history.

Rather than focusing on the narcotic, this Electric Sun T-shirt is dedicated to the machine that made it all possible over 20 years ago – the Roland TB-303. The unique squelchy sound of the 303 dominated the latter part of the 80′s club and rave culture, and still continues to appear on tracks to this day. As well as acid house, 303 basslines could also be heard on more radio-friendly tunes such as Shannon’s ‘Let the Music Play‘,

Heaven 17′s ‘Let Me Go‘,

and Orange Juice’s ‘Rip It Up‘.

Explore the acid sound… listen to these four classic tracks in the player below:
01: Phuture Phantasy Club – Slam
02: Fast Eddie – Acid Thunder
03: Humanoid – Stakker Humanoid
04: A Guy Called Gerald – Voodoo Ray
