Those of you that know me, know that I adore my family and am super close to them despite living 3,000 miles away. So it’s moments like when my brother, Fresh Friday Finds alum Angry Tiki God (Allan Cruz), recently gifted this Bruce Springsteen painting to…

BRIXTON VISUAL RELAY | PHOTOGRAPHER BEV DAVIES

We’re back with another look at another inspiration of ours: freelance photographer Bev Davies.

Bev is a long time music-based photographer who spent much of her career in Vancouver, B.C. where she still resides.

Her mostly black and white photography encapsulates exactly what it’s like to be a part of a live show, fully capturing the feeling and intrigue of those who are performing, which is not an easy task in low light and with a manual focus… All during a time when she was likely one of a handful of people who were able to take a picture.

She’s still out there now, although these days she’s surrounded by smart-phonetographers at every show. Here’s a look at some selected imagery along with an interview, all of which we’re thrilled to share.

Sign maker Chris Ballas‘ art show during First Friday Santa Cruz earlier this month reminded me of two things – all the signage I saw cruising around town on my bike as a kid and a list of my adult vices including beer and tattoos. Adorning the walls of Rosie McCann’s Irish Pub & Restaurant were hand painted signs from the young artist who values traditional hand lettering technique and exudes old school style.

Merging art and function, Ballas’ work is clean, simple, and approachable. His art showcases an attention to detail and honors classic craftsmanship. Not overworked nor complicated, his pieces are much more literal and still playful. With such a clear and creative point of view, Ballas is definitely an artist to keep an eye on!
