Haunting Anti-War Bone Art

January 30, 2012 – 7:06 PM

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 [...]

Really? Facebook is scary. “How people bring your info into apps they use.” Nice.

Russian Criminal Tattoo Movies

October 17, 2011 – 2:33 PM

Found and watched this very depressing movie yesterday about the evolution and symbolism of Russian criminal tattoos entitled “The Mark of Cain.” They really treat their prisoners horribly over there, some scenes are difficult to watch. Also found out about this book called “Siberian Education” written by Nicolai Lilin, about a man’s autobiography growing up [...]

Kidult Documentary / Manifesto

August 17, 2011 – 12:47 PM

A video on Kidult’s perspective on making graffiti illegal, the commercialism of an art form for brands to make money, and his vendetta against the Dior family’s Nazi heritage. Raw and ultra-aggressive, this is not for the faint-hearted. For sure, his vision blurs the line between vandalism and the dichotomy of how people perceive modern [...]

August 4, 2011 – 9:10 PM

Lol @ Ali G With an MFA. I posted a while back about “Art Matters” with Hennessy Youngman, but here’s an update to his prolific works of shining, and refreshing light. There’s also a Art in America Q+A about the finer, and more sensitive nuances and knowledge of this modern poet and visionary. You can [...]

Nice Gawker write ups on Facbook and Twitter

April 7, 2011 – 6:46 PM

Some nice reading on Gawker about the over-importance of Facebook in brand’s reaching consumers, as well as a slam on the recent $22 million dollar Twitter tax cut, which really makes me sick. “Nobody Actually Likes Your Brand’s Stupid Facebook Page.” Link here. What could be a more powerful marketing tool than Facebook, fostering meaningful [...]

Anti-republican Moveon.org creates CNNBC broadcast station

October 25, 2010 – 5:36 PM

Moveon.org is using Facebook’s Graph API to create a subversive anti-republican TV station called “CNNBC” to remind people to vote before more war mongers destroy the world and make our country look even more stupid than it already is. I think it’s funny that this is an outside organization blending fact with a fictional, almost [...]

Because without land we are nothing.

October 25, 2009 – 9:50 PM

I’ve just watched the movie “Garden”. I’ve heard many times about landless farmers fighting for piece of land but never for a piece of land in South Central LA.
