Even if you don’t recognize their names, you are likely familiar with the art of Ed Fella and Geoff McFetridge. In addition to many gallery-caliber art projects, McFetridge produces vibrant t-shirts, iconic movie posters (think The Virgin Suicides), and designer sneakers, while the equally ubiquitous Ed Fella is responsible for many of the fonts on your computer. Two Lines Align at REDCAT surveys the work by Fella and McFetridge that transformed them from oft-imitated designers to collectible and sought-after artists.

The Jeremyville Sessions focuses on the rise of collaborative projects as the new art movement of the 21st century. With the rise of internet communication and technology, disparate designers from all over the world – folks that would otherwise never have worked together – are able to creatively share ideas and projects. Using his own experiences as a case study, Jeremyville showcases collaborative projects that he has worked on with over 300 artists and companies – covering a variety of mediums from original art, apparel, animation, toys and more.

Collaborators include the likes of Beck, Gary Baseman, Geoff McFetridge, Shephard Fairey, Ben Watts, Saiman Chow, Circus Punks, UNKL, and STRANGEco, just to name a few.

The book also includes a fold out poster, die cut sticker sheet, DVD featuring toy templates and animation, wallpapers, screensavers, a game, terviews, art shows, short movies, and if that isn’t enough, a signed original drawing by Jeremyville when you buy the book at from his site.

Written by Barbara Bestor with Kimberly Stevens, this book focuses on modern architecture in an area of Los Angeles called Silver Lake. A haven for non-conformists for over 100 years, Silver Lake has a wonderful collection of modern architecture including work by Rudolf Schindler, Richard Neutra, and Frank Lloyd Wright, among others. Filled with playful illustrations by Geoff McFetridge, the book explores architecture in an area unlike anywhere else in the world. The book itself has a graphic approach to its design, making it visually feel more like a well designed magazine than a stale architecture book. The combination of Geoff McFetridge’s illustrations and the book design seemed an appropriate fit for the informal rough beauty of the area. You can find the book here.
