It may be a month late, but new ideas are never out of style. Studio Number One just issued their 2009 New Ideal Calendar with 12 months worth of fresh typography and illustration from Shepard Fairey, Zach Gibson, Kristian Henson, Philip Lumbang, Jesselisa Moretti, Cleon Peterson, Casey Ryder and Florencio Zavala. With so trouble in our time, they chose to see each day as a little bit of space for working toward innovating and solving problems. Studio Number One’s 2009 calendar is printed in black and white, spiral bound and measures 9″ x 14″ (opened). Perfect gift for font nerds who need organizational tools. Available now at Subliminal Projects.

It seems like Steven Harrington is always up to something. He’s like our own personal Ryan Adams. The guy is always busy. After pulling off his traveling art show for his Our Mountain book and spending the summer traversing the European continent, the National Forest Design principle is back in the States. That doesn’t mean he’ll be kicking up his feet any time soon. Harrington is set to release Our Mountain domestically, and what book release would be complete without a book release party? Answer: No book release. So in order to celebrate more stellar output, Harrington along with Sixpack France will be presenting their own little shindig at the Subliminal Projects Gallery on L.A.’s Sunset Blvd on Thursday September 4th from 6 to 10 p.m. Steven and book designer John Harrington will be signing copies of their new book. So if you’re in the mood for a good time gathering and getting a sneak peek at some fine work, we recommend being there.

Yesterday there was a lot of Shepard Fairey news to cover. Today we have an update from his better half. Shepard’s wife Amanda, the curator and co-founder of Subliminal Projects gallery in the Echo Park section of Los Angeles, takes a second to explain in an exclusive interview with Karmaloop TV why this fresh art space focuses on promoting artistic diversity and discussion.

Attention Los Angeles-based art-seeking missiles: Have you been scanning your radar looking to track down another enthralling exhibit? Well a new blip has popped up at the Subliminal Projects Gallery in Echo Park (which also happens to be owned by Spear favorite Shepard Fairey). On May 17th through June 13th the gallery will feature the work of two extremely exciting artists: Louise Bonnet and Deedee Cheriel. The Swiss-born Bonnet’s work is known for its “hippie-ish style” and “punk iconography.” Cheriel’s is a more satirical look at the relationships between humans, animals, and nature. Talk about the original odd couple.
