Tedementa!! Wow, who are you!?!? I see you make tote-bags and pillowcases and t-shirts and love your arts and crafts. You're from Argentina, right? You seem to be in a lot of exhibits and turn your whole world into your vision. Your friends look cool, and I love how they don't mind becoming triangles and circles and rainbows and pinetrees. Everything you do just has that little bit more, from your doodles to your collages to your self portraits with drawn in friends. I guess in the end, this is just a fan letter to you, dear tedementa, whoever you may be!

8hands Featured Flickr Stream: the SWAMPDONKEY

Dania — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 07:08:59 -0400

Flickr streams usually come in a few forms. There are the snapshot streams, the portfolio sites, the open sketchbooks, the historical resource sets, and every once in a while you get to those super tight themed streams. I'm going to put the SWAMPDONKEY in that category.

Ok, I have to admit that the SWAMPDONKEY's stream is not completely single minded and has a somewhat varied stream of photos and illustrations. But there is one element that keeps coming up in his work: a half skull with horns and tusks. What I love about the SWAMPDONKEY is that he consistently portrays this beast and yet constantly varies its portrayal. He has T-shirt desgins, tattoos, graffiti, modified photos, rough sketches, and clean computerized illustrations of this skull. I've never seen someone riff on one theme in such a surprising yet dedicated way. Gotta give it up to the SWAMPDONKEY - may we all have such focus in our lives! Enjoy...
