We asked Old 97’s frontman Rhett Miller to guest edit magnetmagazine.com this week, and he pawned it off on a bunch of his famous friends: other musicians, actors, writers and comedians. Well played, Rhett. But you can’t hide behind a self-titled solo album. Rhett Miller (Shout! Factory), a Beatlesque beauty featuring Jon Brion, is out this week.
Gary Taxali is an artist/illustrator who lives in Canada. You know his work. You may not be aware that you do, but you do. All sorts of magazine covers, Aimee Mann’s latest CD, not to mention his real paintings and sculptures. Love this guy. Gary Taxali recommends:
Art Shows
I recommend seeing the Picasso: Mosqueteros show at the Gagosian Gallery in NYC. It’s up until the middle of June.
Online Interest
I wrote a post on my blog about low rates and declining fees for graphic artists. There are more than 200 comment replies, and it’s been all over the Internet. It’s a very hot topic for all illustrators!
Joe Morello
Let’s just take a pause for a great piece of history. Joe Morello is one of the greatest drummers of all time. Here is a great video from 1961 of Morello and the Dave Brubeck Quartet in action. Can anyone say genius?
