Fine, so Ed Young's get-to-screwing sermon may be nothing more than a genius PR stunt. But the accompanying artwork on Fellowship Church's Web site is pretty fab. "Like Saul Bass and Paula Scher had a baby," says our art director, the great Alexander Flores. "Doesn't exactly say 'Seven Days of Sex,' but it is sexy."
On a sorta-kinda-enh related note, Shepard Fairey has made you a very special sumpin-sumpin if you're planning on protesting in front of City Hall tomorrow. Or First Baptist Chu
Dallas Observer art director Alexander Flores was out and about last night -- at the Target on Northwest Highway and Skillman Street, if you must know -- and spotted this message scribbled on the window of a Land Rover Discovery. (Which reminds me: Time to wash off the "Seniors '86!" note on the back of my car.) Perhaps now's as good a time as any to remind those Friends without Saturday-night plans that Messrs. Merten and Pulle will be out and about gathering election-night reactions. It was ei
Alexander FloresAround the same time the folks at the Hard Rock Cafe were showing local media the new Victory Park digs, Hillwood was handing over the development's keys to US Treuhand -- the German investors who, back in March, warned that Ross Perot Jr.'s company was in danger of defaulting on a $185 million loan. In April, Hillwood acknowledged that, yes, it was giving up control of Victory Park, and that it would instead only manage the ghost town surrounding the American Airlines Center. An
So, let's see ... we've got those Victory Park shirts. That Leppert poster. Maybe a Schutze tee or two.

Buzzoff's suggestion and turned Angela Hunt's "hell of a syllogism" into a T-shirt. Either that, or we use the proceeds to pay down the city's budget deficit.
I'm a big fan of illustrator Jack Unruh's -- you probably are too if you've seen his work in, oh, Entertainment Weekly, GQ, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, Time or ... look, you name it. The man ain't in the Society of Illustrators' Hall of Fame for nothing. He's a good. So, funny thing: I was looking for something on eBay and stumbled across this circa-1970s piece the Dallas-based illustrator did of the Dallas Convention Center.I called Unruh to ask him about it. He didn't know what in th
Who knew our two demented artist types--Patrick Michels (of Pairing Off art fame) and Alexander Flores--also had a talent for shameless money-grubbing...by which I mean marketing.This week they designed a line of blog-related apparel. My favorite item? The Dude Food trucker's hat.Great prize idea--except that Michels and Flores aren't really the "let's skip lunch, put together a business plan and contact that production facility in Slovenia" kind of guys. Nope, they're more, um, "let's skip
