Snowboard Print Inspriation

Prints continue to inspire. The SIA show and specifically the snowboard brands inspired me to comb the web and dig for modern art inspirations. Here is some from artists old and new. The key, of course, is modern. Mid Century, or Mid Morning. Much of the work in this posting comes from painternyc. What a great resource for amazing art. There is some digital art in here but that deserves it's own entry. If your interested only in digital art you can get a dose by clicking here.


My fav, from Lane Twitchell Psychedelic spirituality makes me happy.



Similar but very different from Obey Giant.


This reminds me of the shapes and blocking happening in the clothing designs. Dorota Kolodziejczk is the artist. You have to see her site. Just full of color.


Toben Giehler. Amazing. Don't wait. Go see the site! Again, reflective of what's happening right now in snowboard prints.


Brice Marden. His stuff kept coming up in my search. I want to hang this on my wall. I'd settle for a tee however. I didn't see a home page. Just do an image search and be blown away.

The above two are from Nina Bovassa. Her stuff is feminine and fun. I don't think the above represents her the best but it reminds me of mid century modern stuff and colorblocking currently happening in snowboard. Check out her site for girls and kids inspiration too.



This is the work of Dutch artist Levi van Veluw. For more info check out lunaticadesnuda.


Oskar Fischinger, The Small Wave, 1940. Mid Century Artist and Inventor.



I found these two digital prints by doing a search on mid century prints. Some cool stuff on skate boards. The site is called deb. Worth a look.





The 3 above prints on stretched canvas were found on 2 Modern. Cute. The second one called "bubbles" kind of reminds me of a Volcom print on the 09/10 line so be careful how you use it.

A final note. For more retro geometric ideas check out Sean Scully images. And if you didn't already, you'll see his influence everywhere. Like in the next Pottery Barn/ West Elm Catalog you open.

Have fun! PS- if there is anything in particular you would like to see in this blog. Please shoot me and email, I love to research and inspire. S
