Radiolab’s Making the Hippo Dance

If you don’t listen to WNYC’s Radiolab, you’re missing out. It’s seriously one of the best podcasts/radio shows I’ve ever listened to. It’s a show that delves into science using artful audio production techniques to sweeten the listeners’ experience. Recently the show’s hosts, Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich, gave a talk explaining the creative choices they make producing one of their segments. Listen to the episode here.

There are many designers, painters, and poster artists getting a lot of exposure on the internet nowadays. Dave Kinsey is one of the few who seems to stick above the crowd with his own style. I am particularly drawn to the blend of screen printing/painting techniques in each of his pieces. They ride the line between drawing and painting in a lovely way that really gets me going. His influences are also a good mix of classical Eastern cultures and modern street culture. Combine that with a strong use of color (mostly a vibrant red), and you’ve got a set of winners. Now if I could only afford to collect all of these lovely prints.
