Some of you may have seen Sebastian’s work on promo for Overthrill who we have featured on Panik several times.  Sebastian is a versatile graphic designer working in fonts, typography and images.  On his website he has loads of examples of his past work from logo work to sexy images for band artwork.  He has a unique ‘electrographic’ style to his work which suits a lot of the projects he has found himself involved in.  His blog – which is basically a cornucopia of images – is pretty intriguing too, as an insight into his influences and inspiration which seems to be a cocktail of 70s and 80s fashion, some iconic images, illustration, pop art and some pretty weird stuff too!

Below is Sebastian’s latest work for Overthrill’s upcoming EP

I came across these guys when looking at In Flagranti’s page (who incidentally, I love!).  I know the mix is a bit old from last year to be precise.  Overthrill is a two man outfit from Germany, who are in my opinion some of the best electro/grind house remixers in the business.  They tirelessly release new stuff, mixes and mix tapes via their MySpace page – their Devastate EP is now out.  I just had to mention them on Panik as I they have a unique style and have some great artwork done by band member, Sebastian Bentler aka thirtythr33 some of which have a haunting SUPERSTUDIO style to them (look below).  For a full track list go to Discodust.  The mix encompasses music all across the genres, a bumper 82 tracks to be precise!  Check ‘em out, big tings ya know!

Dash Snow died on the 13th of July 2009, days before his 28th birthday.  Though I have never seen or know much about his artwork (aside from internet articles) I saw a link to some images of his.  A variety of polaroids taken mainly by himself and some by others documenting his, some might say shambolic life.  Illegal graffiti, tagging, drug taking, sex and partying.  The photos explore a darker side of New York life of a mis-spent youth some might say. The images make you laugh, smile, turn away in disgust and some make you think what pushed Dashiel Snow of the famous de Menil art aristocracy to become an outcast from his own family.
All I know is the pictures are an amazing documentation of a child of my generation and depicts youth culture in gritty reality.

Pete Nash is an artist/sculptor originally from Carlisle.  Having done a model making course in Kent at KIAD, Pete moved to Sheffield and did Fine Art at Sheffield Hallam.

The unique chess sets that Pete makes are created solely from reclaimed pieces of timber and uses traditional carving and finishing techniques.  Pete decided to use his skills as a sculptor to make chess sets when a neighbour of his saw a set he had made for himself and commisioned him to make a unique set as a Christmas gift.  Pete now has started a small industry of his own with his own website where one can have a bespoke chess set made.  If you have an idea for a set of your own you can contact Pete via his website: www.uniquechesssets.co.uk

Panik likes Pete’s chess sets and thinks they would make the ideal Christmas present.
