Your Head On His Stick




He refers to himself as 'THE GIANT'. And standing at about 6'9", his height still isn't a match to the immeasurable weight that is his talent. The title of this blog is not at all sexual. It is a reference to the human lollipops that always catch my attention in the work of Hebru Brantley. To know Hebru or as I like to call him, Hebee, is to love him. He recognizes the God in him that is his ability to create from observation and he bestows his creations to those of us who can be inspired by it, which is to say all of us. Art is his genius, painting is his flair. From show rooms to street tunnels, from advertisements to web layouts, from wood to canvas, the greatness of Hebru Brantley goes unrecognized, and he's got the clientele numbers to prove it. His next show titled, Fade Resistant, is this coming Friday, May 1st at Three Peas Art Lounge from 6pm-10pm in Chicago.

All The Live Long Day

He doesn't stop. And I'd be quite perturbed if he did. Floyd Freshdaily Johnson also known as Faaallllooyyyd, especially around these parts, finally posted his photography site last night (still in the construction process at the moment). In just the last few weeks I've noticed some anomalous growth in his career. Now when you Google him you don't just get phone book or myspace results. He's been featured on many notable blogs and websites such as late boots, The Imagist and a new friend of ours-forget the midwest. Next time you're around Floyd we must pass around the peace pipe to celebrate.

Voila!




Illustrations by Antoinette-Fleur.
When I was in grade school, I was more afraid of sketching with ink (even erasable ink) than i was Bloody Mary or The Boogie Man. lol. My bristol pad, even when completed with illustrations, would be full of old eraser dust from old imperfections that I'd gotten rid of with the quick reverse of a pencil. Ms. Antoinette-Fleur makes it look like child's play minus the worry, as to say easy. A few nimble strokes of a pen and voila! Herb is impressed.

Indubitably the spirit of Bessie Burns is captured through the photography of Floyd Freshdaily himself, for the online store, On The Prowl Vintage Clothing. Consistently he seizes to amaze me with his skill.

A DOCUMENTARY FILM BY GARY HUTSTWIT: HELVETICA

You never know how much the small things matter until the big picture starts to fade. I first came across this documentary in my typography class, and second time around on colette. Helvetica is far and away the most widely used of all typefaces. It's everywhere, and as an art enthusiast and marketing connoisseur, I can appreciate. The film is unusually interesting.

Faaaaalloooooooyd Freshdaily Johnson

CRUDE, CONTEMPORARY, UNCONVENTIONAL, AND FRESH. Life replicating that of an American Apparel Photobook or one that is coextensive to a snapshot of The Wonder Years television show from the late 80's. This is the essence of Sir Floyd Freshdaily Johnson. I <3 Floyd.....and I just wanted you all to know. Photographer, art enthusiast, defiant fashionist (but definitely in a good way), and all around genuine person.
p.s. Floyd you should have ur own spot on my blog.
