Shepard is everywhere these days. This video profile is for USA Network’s first ever “Character Approved Awards” which honor “individuals from a cross-section of creative disciplines who are positively influencing American culture”. This video was made by Henry Alex Rubin (the guy that directed Murderball), and might be the best quality Shepard Fairey interview you have seen.

Preview: World on Fire “Grammy” Show art work paintings

No comments:

Trent Reznor (NIN) by Travis Louie


Angus Young (AC/DC) by Shawn Barber


Madonna by Lori Earley

Art and music have always been intertwined. Whether it be Jay-Z including one of Murakami’s paintings in his music video “Blue Magic,” KAWS collaborating on an album cover with Kayne West, Good Charlotte’s Joel Madden collecting Luke Chueh paintings, or Dave Cooper creating a music video for Danko Jones, the examples seem endless.

One of these intersects will open next week with the “World on Fire” show at the Pacific Electric Lofts in LA where many well-known artists in the Low Brow and/or Contemporary Art genre were asked to paint portraits of even more famous music stars. In honor of the Grammy Awards opening on Feb. 8th, the show was curated by Kris Lewis, Justin Giarla (Shooting Gallery) and sponsored by Will.i.am with the auctioned off works as well as prints benefiting the Pea Pod Foundation.

Members of the Los Angeles graffiti crew MTA busted.

4 comments:

The LA Times has an update on the “tagging” arrests that people started talking about this morning:

Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies today arrested at least eight alleged members of the notorious Metro Transit Assassins tagging crew, some of whom are believed to be responsible for a several-blocks-long “MTA” tag in the concrete Los Angeles River bed that authorities say will cost millions of dollars to remove.

The arrests occurred during a series of early-morning raids centered in the Hollywood area. Among those detained for a parole violations is a famous tagger whose work “SMEAR” has has won acclaim in the art community.

Those arrested were booked on suspicion of vandalism, drug possession, narcotics for sales, weapons possession and other parole violations, officials said

“These individuals are responsible for tags not only in Los Angeles but Las Vegas and San Francisco,” said Sheriff’s Cmdr. Dan Finkelstein, who is chief of the Metropolitan Transit Authority police. “The Army Corps of Engineers estimates that removing the “MTA” tag from the riverbed alone will cost $3.7 million."

Cleaning graffiti from the river is far more expensive than cleaning other areas. Officials use high-pressure water spray to remove the toxic paint.

But hazardous-materials crews must then dam and capture all the paint and water runoff to prevent it from getting into the river. The crew did an additional $20,000 worth of damage to transit vehicles and facilities. Finkelstein said the Los Angeles River “MTA” tag, in a vast industrial district east of downtown between two rail yards, took about 400 gallons of paint — 300 gallons white and 100 gallons black. “It took them four nights to do it,” he said.

The three block letters cover a three-story-high wall and run the length of several blocks between the 4th Street and 1st Street bridges. The tagging crew, which is also known as “Melting Toys Away” and “Must Take All,” began about the time the transportation agency began using the MTA letters. Investigators say they have statements, including some on video, that implicate some of the crew members in the enormous tag.

To grasp how HUGE this tag is, watch this video.

Our thoughts go out to these guys. Let's hope they don't throw the book at them too hard. They should just leave it, it's like free advertising for the Transit Authority.

End of the Week Reward Lisa Dergan

The snow wont stop coming down. So to keep things hot I give you Lisa Dergen. And since its the Super Bowl this weekend I figured one more hot sportscaster babe. Good luck to the Arizona Cardinals and Kurt Warner !!!!

Lisa Dergan is as hot as sportscasters get. There are none hotter, or more willing to take it all off for her fans. Getting a break in 2001, Lisa was hired for a weekend sports show on L.A.’s KCBS. She then joined FOX Sports in 2002, gaining notable interviews with everyone from Tiger Woods to John Elway. But more importantly, she’s a former St. Pauli Girl, was Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for July ‘98, and she’s been in special editions of the magazine six times. Beat that!

MINDstyle's Hazel Minis by Kathie Olivas in Silver, Red & Blue

No comments:

Collectors have made MINDstyle's Scavengers mini-fig series (1 & 2) by Kathie Olivas one of the hottest in recent memory. Perhaps the hottest of all is the Two-Faced hazel. The original black chase from S1 is in high-demand and currently commands prices north of $150 if you're lucky enough to find one.

To add even more excitement to the hunt, MINDstyle and Kathie Olivas have recently dropped three special Hazel minis -- silver, blue and red. Each edition is available through its own way. The Silver Hazel Mini edition will be available exclusively from Kathie via circusposterus.com as part of a special Book set.

The Red Hazel Mini is a friends and family edition, given out to celebrate Chinese New Year and is not for sale (NFS). "It's our way to say thanks to fans and friends who have made the MINDstyle's Scavengers mini figures series a huge success," stated Emi Uchiki (MINDstyle's Relations Manager). " The Red Hazel will also be available to Art Toy Society (ats) members with renewal and to all new members. If you would like to join the ATS, please email info[at]mindstyle[dot]com. Finally, we're pleased to reveal as a special bonus and thank you, the Red Mini Hazels will be randomly packed-in with the 9" Two-Faced Hazel FDR figures which were sold through Vinyl Pulse Exclusives and will be shipping shortly.

The Blue Hazel Mini is available as randomly packed-in chase figures (1 in four) with both the Asian and European editions of the 9" Two-Faced Hazels. So that's two opportunities to score the Blue Hazel mini for free (no additional cost). The Asian edition is currently available from retailers in Asia. The European edition will be released through select MINDstyle EU retailers in late spring and later online through Cardboard Spaceship.

N.A.S.A COVER ART CREATED BY SIZZLING HOT ARTISTS CD TO BOW WITH FIVE INTERCHANGABLE COVERS IN PACKAGE SHEPARD FAIRY, MARCEL DZAMA & MARK GONZALES AMO

No comments:

The cross-cultural collaboration of N.A.S.A.’s debut album The Spirit of Apollo (Feb 17, 2009 on Anti-) has been passionately carried over to the album artwork. Each album will contain artwork for five interchangeable covers by popular artists from varied backgrounds and cultures.

The artists who contributed covers include:

Shepard Fairey. Los Angeles-based artist and graphic designer Shepard Fairey recently gained international prominence through his iconic imagery of Barack Obama (which subsequently graced the cover of TIME Magazine). Fairey’s cover utilizes his distinctive graphic style to address the themes of money, capitalism, war and various other upbeat global issues of the day.

Sage Vaughn. Los Angeles-based artist Sage Vaughn started out as a graffiti artist and has become one of the most respected painters in the contemporary art scene in
Los Angeles. Vaughn’s collage for the cover of The Spirit of Apollo deftly incorporates a disco ball, rockets, seemingly drunken astronauts and a religious Spaniard.

The Date Farmers. The Date Farmers (Carlos Ramirez and Armando Lerma of the Coachella Valley) artwork echoes their Mexican-American heritage rooted in California pop culture. Their paintings, collages and three-dimensional sculptures contain elements influenced by graffiti, Mexican street murals, traditional revolutionary posters, sign painting, prison art and tattoos, all elements present in their cover for N.A.S.A.

Marcel Dzama. The Canadian artist known for small-scale ink and watercolor drawings of human figures, animals, and imaginary hybrids. In addition to creating iconic covers for such musical artists as Beck, They Might Be Giants and The Weakerthans, Dzama’s visual art has been praised throughout the world. By signing onto the N.A.S.A. project by contributing a cover Dzama’s reach may finally expand into space.

Mark Gonzalez. A former professional skateboarder and artist, Gonzalez is known in the skateboarding world as the pioneer of modern street skateboarding. Gonzalez has designed skateboards and clothing, and his original art has been shown in galleries around the world. Gonzalez chose an aquatic theme for his contribution to N.A.S.A. – we can only hope that there are fish on Mars.

All of the cover artists have contributed to The Spirit of Apollo’s animated music video project, which pairs these artists with animators to create music videos for songs on the record. The first such video, featuring the art of Shepard Fairey, was released digitally in late 2008 and can be seen here:



Shepard Fairey also designed the first official poster for The Spirit of Apollo, using graphical themes and images from the video for “Money.”

We’re not finished, N.A.S.A. will be launching two skateboard decks to commemorate the record release. A limited edition deck for Girl Skateboards will feature art by
The Date Farmers, and deck brand Chocolate will be designing a N.A.S.A. deck with their in-house design team. Both skateboard decks will be available in skate shops by street date and will include Mark Gonzalez-designed sticker/download cards – which will allow buyers to download the entire album.

Polluted Culture: Volume 2 Art Print by Jermaine Rogers Onsale Info

No comments:


Jermaine is kicking out some kickass art prints this year hear is another one. Little Beatles little U2. “Polluted Culture: Volume 2″ is going to be a huge 20″ x 38″ screenprint poster. It will drop Tuesday, February 3rd between 12pm-3pm Mountain Time. Visit JermaineRogers.com.

Jermaine's thoughts about the piece:

“Seeing the totality of modern popular culture as one whole, dissecting it, and re-attaching its parts is a wonderful and satisfying exercise. Years ago, before the first ‘Polluted Culture’ print, I did an image for a Mudhoney flyer depicting the Beatles as a grunge band…ripped jeans, Chuck Taylor’s, and all. Here, I wanted to revisit that aesthetic in a sense. I chose to take the band that many feel are the modern-day torch bearers of the Beatles, U2. The imagery from the 1987 album, ‘The Joshua Tree’ was always very striking to me. The starkness and weighty aura surrounding the photographs of the band were almost religious…and actually very prophetic in a sense: this was the album that many feel rocketed them to ‘biggest-band-in-the-world’ status. To depict the Beatles in this modern ‘clothing’ was delicious. Pop culture belongs to you and me. We birthed it and groom it every day. ‘We are the music makers and the dreamers of the dreams’. Culture is ours to hijack and choreograph. Past popular culture is our plaything. We can do whatever we want with it. You don’t need a reason.”

PUSHEAD 92 Minutes of Pus at SDCC NYCC Feb 7

No comments:


Pushead’s ‘Minutes of Pus’ events are one of the highlights of each year’s SDCC shows. So we’re stoked to report that for the first time he’s bringing the heat to NYCC ‘09 with 92 Minutes of Pus on Friday, February 7th @ 2:09 PM in the Toy Tokyo booth (#858).

For this first east coast Pus event, Pushead will debut the Lefty Skull Pirate, the first edition with a left amputated arm. Lefty features red, black and metallic tones. Plus, the insanely limited ‘booty sack’. Each sack contains a rare or handpainted figure for a fixed price. Plus, expect a few dope handpaints for sale.

Joining Pushead, Mike Sutfin will rock handpainted Bop Dragons by Rumble Monsters. Also, he’s going to offer a very limited set of matching handpainted sets of Bop Dragon and Mini Damnedrons. Mike will be at the ‘con but he will not be signing at the event.

Finally… Secret Base head honcho, Hiddy will be in the house. He will kick off a special Secret Base event on Saturday, February 7th @ 4 PM. This one is loaded with vinyl goodness. First up is Usugrow’s Rebel Ink Premium Black edition which is specially plated to render the bandana and pants in black flock. Next, Usugrow’s 2nd figure – Salvation Ink in a ‘dark’ clear brown Valentines ed. Following that up will be the new Blue GID Secret Base All stars, a few Deka Bee handpaints and the latest SB release – Dr. Mortality.

So if you bleed Kaiju, then you need to make it out to NYCC and park yourself at Toy Tokyo’s booth (#858).

"The Real Batman"

By Alex Pardee.

Limited Edition Of 200. $40

17" x 22" Printed with Archival Inks on Acid Free Velvet Cotton Rag.

Each print is hand signed and numbered by Alex Pardee.


"BATMAN (yah, your favorite masked detective) was originally an ancient mythical cult being whose story was basically about a bat hunter who, in a fit of symbiotic revenge rage, captured the bat that killed his wife and, since he couldnt live without his wife, he wanted to show the bat what it was like to depend on someone else for life and love. So the hunter shoved the Bat onto his head like a mask and forced the bat to remain a part of him. Shortly after, the tables turned and the hunter's foolish attempt at revenge backfired when he suffocated and died. The bat then took over the hunter's body and used his new found appendages and abilities to lead warriors to kill weak people because it was fun. True story."

Head over to Zerofriends.com to get one. Been looking forward to this for a while now.

Methamphibian Strikes Again- Angel of Death figure

No comments:

We don’t get to see too many 1/6th scale custom figure offerings, but Peter Kim, aka Methamphibian, is definitely at the top of the 12″ pile with his awesome original creations.

Last weekend saw the release of four more unique, one-of-a-kind figures from his ongoing ‘Shadow Project’ storyline, which focuses on top-secret government operatives called ‘Black Ghosts’. What they do and which government they’re associated with is ambiguous, but the eerie mix of skull-faces and military battle gear is stunning indeed. Mix in the new leather-clad, curvaceous Angel of Death and you have the makings for an intense narrative that’s suddenly departed from traditional ‘top secret agency’ stuff.

Each one-off, handmade figure sells for around $200 to $250 each, with the elaborate Angel of Death selling for $400. These are available for sale on his website, at the ’store’ link, along with various art and t-shirts. And if you dig the 1/6th custom thing, don’t forget to check out Triad Toys and their absurdly extensive collection of scaled outfits to make your own figures with - most of them providing ample views of secret agent cleavage.

Pelosi Open To More Federal Money For Banks

No comments:

No no no more money for them. They need to answer for the first $350 billion and where it went. They need to go before congress and show how they spent the first installment and what they are going do with the rest of our money. The auto companies are getting a loan and they have to show their business plan. These damn banks are being given the money but don't have to show what they are doing with it. Why are they not being held accountable like the auto companies ? When you go to a bank for a business loan you have to present a business plan, yet they don't have to when they ask for our money. Its just plain wrong. Call and email your representatives and voice your disapproval. www.insidetherockposterframe.blogspot.com
