Old news by now, but I decided to take the train down to 2nd Avenue & Bowery to take a few of my own shots of the new(ish) RETNA mural on the Deitch Wall. You can still see some of the old Faile mural on the side of the wall.

Hennesy Youngman has been a busy man. In between getting written up by Gawker and the New York Times, he’s uploaded two new videos. The first a critique on performance art, the second an open call to contribute to his group show in Chelsea, New York called “It’s a Small, Small World.” I think I [...]

Stunning stop motion of one year in Oslo, Norway in 120 seconds. The filmmaker Eric Solheim shares how he made it here. Amazing he did this without using any sort of tripods or rigs. via Day at a Glance.

Dragon’s Lair was a video arcade game from 1983 by Cinematronics which featured beautiful graphics by ex-Disney animator Don Bluth. Seeing this machine as a child was pretty much the most amazing, magical experience – the holy grail of the arcade. I wanted this machine in my house so, so badly and used to have [...]

Beautiful execution of a series of photographs / logotypes entitled “Stop the Violence” created with human bones. Via FFFFound. When Francois Robert unexpectedly acquired a human skeleton in the 1990s, he knew he had to do something wonderful with it. Several years later when the economy collapsed and he found himself with time on his [...]

Never can get enough of Stephen Powers and his wit / aesthetic style. There’s something so satisfying about having any one of his pieces hanging on a wall at home – from the colors and simplicity of design to the sarcasm. The pieces we have collected over the years truly bring a smile to my [...]

Love this legendary skateboarder – his skate style, art, attitude. There are several day in the life films done on him which are all pretty amusing to watch if you want to chuckle. “I met him on the street and he liked my dog.”: “Mark on Allen” – filmed by Spike Jonze features kick flipping [...]

Saw this today on Unurth. It’s by a Slovenian artist named Miha Artnak. Really loved the simplicity, color and beauty of this idea.

Cris Cleen, ultra-talented artist and tattooer recently did some beautiful erotic-themed ink on comedian Margaret Cho. Cho writes an absolutely lovely description of Cris’ work and her desire to get tattooed by him. I was super stoked she mentions the short documentary I shot on Cris, and thought this was so cool that it resonated [...]

Randomly saw this video on Liveleak of MIT’s High-Low tech group’s project on a “kit for sketching electronics”, in which a designer is able to stick some crazy looking electronic components to a piece of paper and then draw with a pen to create a circuit. It’s really interesting at the end where an interface [...]

On our Christmas vacation we were very stoked to make it down to Niland, California to visit this colorful mountain installation called “Salvation Mountain” I previously blogged about back in August. It was about an hour and a half drive from Palm Springs, and a little difficult to find (we asked the locals), but it [...]

It was in Paris in 1927 that he created the miniature circus celebrated in this film. The Parisian avant-garde would gather in Calder’s studio to see the circus in operation. This film exudes the great personal charm of Calder himself, moving and working the tiny players like a ringmaster, while his wife winds up the [...]

This is a show amongst friends, some who are actual brothers, all of whom are actually weird. The artists in this show are brothers in art, [...]
