Visual Artists who worked with the Beastie Boys

[MCScoobyT]

I though it would be good to compile a list of the visual artists that have added to the image that the band created, by either designing for them, album cover wise, t-shirts, fronts etc.
help me out

without really digging these come to mind
Spike Jonez SOS cover, videos...
Glen E. Friedman's CYH cover
Ari M.
Ricky Powell
Mike Mills HSCp2 cover
Sunny Bak LTI photos
some 360 degree camera having dudes, PB cover...
Haze, lighting and stage shizz, right?
Cey, ton's of cool fonts

oh and here's a little trivia for ya...
I wanted Rodie to ask this one to Jim when he got to do the reverse 20 questions

What two Beasties albums use the same font on the cover?

and no I'm not talking about the logo on LTI and SGH

I think Mike Mills also did the Root Down E.P. cover.

Don't forget about Matteo Pericoli who did the TT5B cover.

[MCScoobyT]

You'er right on both counts!

[brooklyndust]

for the trivia is it some old bullshit and polly wog stew?

*edit you're talking about the body movin single and cookie puss

[MCScoobyT]

I was simply thinking of the drafting/drafters handwritten all caps front found on IC and in the words TT5B on TT5B.

not remembering... those other ones could be close, or right on. I'm going to go look at them right now (y)

also, Haze did the CYH fonts and Namaste LA Billboard

Shepard Fairey did some artwork wit Glen Friedman's photos for a benefit and a RIP MCA billboard, as well as for Oscilloscope's Compassion in Emptiness DVD about the Dalai Lama in NYC

[brooklyndust]

Looks like Bill McMullen did the DVD anthology as well. Some of my favorite album artwork is his. I really like his style.

Haze also did the Jimmy James single.

Does anyone know who did the Skills to Pay the Bills video animation?

[Bernard Goetz]

I gotta add Mrs. Marilyn Grasshoff. Those fashion choices took the PB era to another level.

[YoungRemy]

I'd like to add every artist that Mike D worked with for his amazing art show last year. I was hoping he would do it again some time.

also, Tamra Davis used to run with Basquiat and made that exclusive documentary about him...

[JConXTC]

you are missing my favorite Todd James aka REAS (Brooklyn Dust logo)

[Bernard Goetz]

^maybe he did the Skills animation?

[brooklyndust]

Did a little bit more searching and it looks like the skills video was done by Wolf Aok. Is it the same guy as Todd James?

Don't forget about the shout outs to Vaughn Bode, Van Gogh, Cezanne and Picasso.

Who were the people who did the Shadrach video?

This is the best thread in a long while.

[MCScoobyT]

Ya the tread is rolling along nicely, still their has to be a lot more to be shared by the collective heads of these boards.

I really want to know who did the art for HSCp1???

[Kid Presentable]

The same people who animated The Simpsons did Shadrach. I think. It's on the Criterion commentary, in any case. I don't know if that means they painted it all, or what.

It would be mint to do a canvas print of a high-res grab from that video. Or, you know, own an original print of a frame.

Thought Cey did it, but not sure.

Terry Richardson did some photos with them during TT5B.

This is the one I'd want:

The original Hot Sauce Cover was inspired by Billy Ocean's City Limit album (http://tinyurl.com/ca3ol89)

They don't mention the plane looking like a smoldering joint though.
So, add Steve Byram and World B. Omes to the mix.
