The above program was produced for the Seattle Channel by Patricia O’Brien - and Warren has a show at BLVD Gallery in November.

BLVD Gallery proudly presents Atomic Autobody, an exhibition of new works by Seattle based painter Warren Dykeman. The artist returns to the gallery with a new body of work comprised of paintings and drawings that draw upon elements of folk art, handmade sign lettering, digital art, and collage. Utilizing a variety of materials, Warren creates work that contains an intriguing awkwardness which produces a rhythm between contour, color, and mistake. With a nod to the past, Warren embraces the new technology of the digital age combining his experience as a graphic designer to create compositions that use vector style graphics as a jump off for his unique take on primitive folk art styles.

Spotted via Cool Hunting this piece of motion graphics by Seth Brau is pretty cool and does it’s job. I sat through and watched the whole thing! Boing Boing have just posted about it too.

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, CH friend and colleague Seth Brau recently completed the rather daunting task of bringing the words to life with motion graphics. The result is on one hand elegant — using a two-tone palette, linear — and on the other an experimental take on scale, the use of typography and symbolism.
