Jess Bonham

i like how UK artist Jess Bonham incorporates, like, six decades of fashion into these shots...it makes them timeless. they're like marie antoinette/vogue meets so me/glow-stick-holding hipsters.

my fav shot is the the first one:

"the art of music" if you're in LA

"the art of music" - an exhibition
france's ill studio commissioned fifteen influential artists to address the notion that artists' musical tastes are strongly related to their work. each artist created a poster for the concert of their dreams, with the line-up of their choice in any real or imaginary venue. in addition to these ultimate concert posters, every artist will exhibit a wide collection of music-related pieces in the vast open gallery space, including original drawings, paintings, record sleeves, posters, objects and installations.

the artists include So-Me the art director for Ed Banger Records (Justice, Uffie, DJ Mehdi, Mr Oizo, etc), Swiss Studio //DIY, death-metal influenced artist; French, Australian studio; Alter who designs for Modular (The Presets, The Avalanches), Sanghon Kim who has designed for everyone from the band; Air to brands; LaCoste and Hermes...to the Tate Modern Museum in London, Steven and John Harrington, P.A.M., La Boca, Museum Studio, Stefan Marx, Ryan Waller, Ill-Studio, Smal and Paze, Artus De Lavilléon, and Josh Petherick.

so-me's piece (above). so-me knows how to have a good time.

Preview the work here.

Justice Tour Documentary: A Cross the Universe

Ayoooo, Xavi & Gas & So Me are working on a new ugc Justice Tour documentary called "A Cross the Universe". Dig up your Pentax 9000 and upload some footage of those crazy nights at the club with the Ed Banger frères.

From the horse's mouth, French accent required:

"Hello,
We're currently working on the booklet for our next release, A CROSS THE UNIVERSE (documentary + live) and would like it to be made only of images provided by fans (though if you hate justice but have good material it's OK). Any fun (or dramatic) picture, image, or art related to justice ? Please send them to justicematerial@edbangerrecords.com"

Nod to Hipster Runoff, always on point, pormanteauin' - joustache!

"But srsly yall, I can't wait 2 see this documentary which proves that
1) not every1 can make bangers
2) it's harder 2 partie than yall think
3) there's more 2 jousteice than just '2 frenchies in leather'
4) joustache [fingerbangs] more entry level alts than Daft Punk could even dream of.
5) Part of the banger nvr dies."

Here's a teaser -- not sure how the chickenhead at the 15 second mark doing the wakka wakka dance made it in. Whateva.
