There’s something to be said about the consistentency of interesting artwork from a band. Although it’s not as important as the band’s music or live show, it’s key to create a visual image aside from the music for listeners to latch onto. Some bands manage to do this incredibly well, take Peter Saville [...]
Tonight kicks off NY Design Week and there are tons of events happening all over the City. The celebration centers around the 20th annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair at the Javits Center (May 17-19). Over 50 design firms, magazines, and retailers — including Vitra, ID, Surface, and Kartell — host parties around Manhattan [...]
Coan Nichols and Rick Charnoski have been amassing some serious footage and pictures for the past three years and are ready to release the highly anticipated film, Deathbowl to Downtown a history of skateboarding in NYC. Their nostalgic style has produced two of my all-time favorite skate documentaries, Fruit of the Vine and Northwest. [...]
If you live in or were recently visiting Philly, you may have noticed a winding trail of white-washed lines travelling through Independence Park, bounded by Walnut St. on the south, Chestnut St. on the north, Fifth St. on the west, and Third St. on the east. The white lines cut across cobblestone sidwalks, through [...]
Simple and Beautiful. Take a look here. Plus check out his colorful photos of my people in Vietnam on Flickr.
Polaroid is gonna stop making instant film so stock up for forever.

Sounds like a nice strange mix of stellastarr* and Gogol Bordello. Post-punk + [...]
I saw something similar to this using CD artwork to create collages, but not nearly as much fun! The Prince one might be my fav for its ridiculousness, but it’s borderline NSFW. Besides, you can’t go wrong with Tiffany.
As a followup to my Holiday gift post, here is a nice list of fairly inexpensive design gifts. Some of it quite ridiculous, some of it quite useful; like the reusable bags from baggu.
Take advantage of the shitty weather tonight and head out to Stonefox Artspace in Soho to check out the opening night of Alex Da Corte’s I Attach Myself To You. The exhibit will feature color portrait photographs and related sculptures that explore the nature of intimacy in a digital world where online dating, chat [...]
The Holiday season is upon us and for me, this means getting crafty. I’m big on handmade gifts, not only to save money, but to give something from the heart. Most people really appreciate the effort despite if it was on their “list”.
Last year I did custom framed photos, some shirts [...]
These ironic t-shirt designs made me laugh. Almost so much so that I would actually wear one.
Also, I’m not a big fan of Busted Tees and I’m sure this is already on its way for mass Urban Outfitters’ production, but you can’t deny how good it is. I can see strangers coming up [...]
I love this shirt from threadless that plays on Joy Division’s famous album, Unknown Pleasures. It made me think of someone I know right away. I think we can all relate to that message sometimes.
Speaking of heartbreaks, my favorite podcast had a great show a couple weeks back. Check [...]

Being an engineer and having a love for art, I’ve always been inspired by the kinetic sculptor, Theo Jansen. Working on the beaches of the Netherlands, Jensen constructs large sculptures that resemble skeletons of animals which are able to walk using the power of the wind. My favorite piece, Animaris Rhinoceros, is at [...]
Tomorrow will mark 2 years since Katrina made landfall in New Orleans and devastated the city costing the lives of over 1,500 people. The tragedy has left an indelible mark in our minds of death, crime, heartache, and poor government response for what is now known as the Lost City of New Orleans. [...]
I’m not the protesting type, but I do voice my opinion in my own way about the war. Expression through art is one way to make your statement heard. I love this stop sign modification found in Bloomington, Indiana by counterclockwise.
You can also wear your message through these nifty T-shirts. I have [...]
