This is the second batch of scans from my Cantinflas Show magazine collection. I believe this magazine was published during the early 80s in Mexico. Although the content was mostly Eurocentric -including some questionable stereotypical representations of the peoples of the world- they were nevertheless fun, educational, and featured awesome art.
First set of scans is here.

I posted a bunch of flicks over on the Seeking Heaven blog from a place Sky High above the city that we've been painting since around 1993. The spot is in the Pico-Union area of L.A., but that's all i'm gonna say about that. I have a few more photos from there I need to dig up, and I'll post 'em as I find 'em.
Peep the whole set over on the Seeking Heaven blog.

VivaLaTranza features some rad photographic documentation of Los Angeles and its many facets. I live in L.A. and every time I check out the site, I realize how much of the city I know and don't know. The gritty and the slick aspects of L.A. are displayed with equal respect and often a solid sense of irony, giving the viewer a byrd's eye view into the big City of Angels.
(Some content may be NSFW, but I guess that depends on where your place of employment is...)

Madness
The Prince 7" (Madness B-side)
2 Tone Records
1979
The Beat
Mirror in the Bathroom 7"
Go-Feet Records
1980
The second wave / two tone / ska revival bands used some dope graphics on their records. I always dug their stripped down color palette and sharp iconography, as that aesthetic carried through to all aspects of their music and scene.
Madness kept it strictly black and white on The Prince 7" with use of the second wave fave checkerboard motif and the classic 2 Tone Walt Jabsco logo designed by Jerry Dammer (based on a photo of Peter Tosh.)
The Beat rocked the magenta on this Mirror in the Bathroom sleeve, keeping it two tone AND referencing new wave at the same time. (Sorta like their sound...) They also one-upped Walt with the iconic The Beat Girl designed by Hunt Emerson.

I subjected myself to some audio-visual waterboarding-level type torture to nab these screenshots. I got 'em from a "music" video by a $inger that I still can't believe is not some female Weird Al or SNL type of parody... Anyways, I won't put anyone through the pain and post the "song" but, yup, there does appear to be a mural Cache and I worked on with a few other homies in the background!

The homie Tanner Goldbeck aka Racecar13 recently released this limited-edition t-shirt for his Cranium Blend line.
Grab one before they're all gone! More info here.
(Last time I was this stoked on a skull shirt graphic was in '88 after coming up (heh heh!) on a button-down Jimmy Z shirt that had some crazy all-over skull motif printed on the back!)

1000 Ideas For Graffiti and Street Art
by Cristian Campos
maomaopublications.com | rockpub.com
This nifty book combines what I miss from many now-defunct graffiti mags and the top-notch production value expected from books on the subject. In 1000 Ideas For Graffiti and Street Art, author Cristian Campos presents an extensive selection of graffiti and related forms of expressions. Top notch European writers such as Shok, Toast, Mr. Wany, and Reso are well represented in the book; and from Los Angeles, a nice compilation of work by Seeking Heaven (and yours truly) makes good on the subtitle "Murals, Tags, and More from Artists Around the World." Cache, Yem, Skypage, Gorg, and a few more of the homies have cameos as well! (My only gripe with the book is that the credits got fudged a bit -they credited me for the flicks but not err'one up on the walls... I apologize profusely.)
