December was a fitting end to a momentous 2009 as visually addicting goodies kept us busy around the world. The staff from AM wraps up the last month of 2009 with a loaded edition of Second Helpings to revisit some of the best articles from the month. Get served after the jump.

Sketchbook: Yoskay Yamamoto

Posted by sleepboy, January 4, 2010

We hope you enjoyed looking through Nate Frizell’s sketchbook a couple of weeks ago. This time, we take a look at some of Yoskay Yamamoto’s (interviewed) creative process as we flip through his sketches. He was kind enough to share it with us during our studio visit with him last year. Take a look after the jump – maybe you will see something that will become a painting for his solo show in June at LeBasse Projects.

Studio Visits: Jesse Hazelip – “Sentimental Journey” @ White Walls

Posted by Ken, January 4, 2010

In 1944, the B17 Bomber “Sentimental Journey” rolled off the Douglas Aircraft Company’s California assembly line. With it’s eight thousand pound payload capacity and thirteen .50 M2 Browning machine guns, the B17 aptly earned it’s nickname, “The Flying Fortress”. The “Sentimental Journey” (whose nose proudly displays a picture of Betty Grable, World War Two’s most famous pin-up girl), the “Celestial Siren,” “South Sea Sinner,” and “Tempest Turner” are all subjects in Oakland artist Jesse Hazelip’s upcoming show at White Walls opening January 9th.

Studio Visits: Ian Francis

Posted by juggernut3, December 28, 2009

Earlier this year, AM visited the UK to hang with the talented Ian Francis in his Bristol studio. The groundbreaking artist has long been a favorite and it was especially rewarding to get an insider’s view of Ian’s workspace. A man of many techniques, Ian is known for his beautiful compositions in which he blends colorful abstracts with laser precise details, creating dreamy masterpieces that resonate with fans around the world. Many of his powerful creations often utilize hand painted characters, so intricately drawn and […]

Streets: Banksy Vs. Robbo

Posted by sleepboy, December 25, 2009

So… It seems that one of the pieces Banksy put up last week has a back story that most didn’t know about. Apparently, he stenciled over a 1985 piece by Robbo and other writers who were some of the pioneers of graf in London in the mid 80s. This has caused a pretty strong outrage among some old school graffiti writers and it looks like Robbo has gone back to paint over the piece, cleverly incorporating Banksy’s piece just like Banksy incorporated his. More images […]

Basel Week Miami ’09: Nick Walker – Primary Flight Mural

Posted by sleepboy, December 22, 2009

One of the artists we got to hang out with this year at Art Basel was Nick Walker, who flew in all the way over from the UK. If you liked the “mood board” piece that Nick sent us a photo of from his recent trip in Japan, then you’ll like what he did for Primary Flight this year. For these types of murals, Walker likes to mix different elements of his imagery into one integrated piece. In fact, you may want to check out […]

Sketchbook: Nate Frizzell

Posted by sleepboy, December 21, 2009

While visiting Nate Frizzell’s studio a while back, we had to opportunity to flip through some of his sketchbooks. It’s always a privilege to be able to look into the inner workings of an artist’s creative process and is one of our favorite things to do. Of course, we made sure to take some pics to share with our readers. Definitely expect to see more of these features here in the future. Take a look after the jump at some prelim sketches for completed paintings […]

One of the artists that we met up with this year at Art Basel, Gaia, recently collaborated with No Longer Empty (NLE) to paint a Chinatown pulldown gate in NYC.

Streets: New Banksy – Camden (Regent’s Canal)

Posted by sleepboy, December 20, 2009

Banksy fan and photographer Mammal sent us over some photos of new stencils from the elusive street artist near Regent’s Canal in Camden. Well-timed as usual with the Copenhagen climate talks ending without a legally binding treaty, Mr. B dedicated one of his pieces to the subject (after the jump) as well as this piece seen above with a pretty sweet tag. Take a look after the jump at more images as well as a third piece spotted by another man on the scene – […]
