I created a new shop recently that features artsy things: some limited edition prints, some t-shirts, and some bags. I consider the tees to be more like wearable art, all silkscreened and hand-dyed in my studio in Brooklyn. Read more

This video by the Zebra Katz reminds me of a scene from The Ring, but set in the hallways of middle school, with vogueing and braids. It’s some dark evil groove.

These paintings I’m working on lately are part of the mosaic series which are my progression of street art. I like to use different background elements that mimic the variety of textures you get on city walls and buildings. All imagery comes from the sacredness of youth. Read more

Lenert Engleberts is a Dutch multi-media artist who writes and directs short films that make one ponder things such as procrastination, beauty, art and life. They are presented in an oddly humorous and artistic way. Even the commercial and print work he does is quite satisfying. This film is titled How To Explain It To My Parents.

Michael Scoggins work is right up my alley. It is lighthearted, but they say something about how a child’s mind filters the world. His doodles are done on sheets of paper that are six foot high. He cuts the holes and draws the lines by hand, so it looks like notebook paper. Read more

Mia Christopher’s colorful paintings on paper might look like a used palette left on an easel of a painter’s studio, but that’s what why I like them. Read more

Liam Sparkes’s medium is ink on skin. He is a tattoo artist based out of London, mostly. His tattoo imagery looks of old school book illustrations and woodblock prints. I like the lines and cross hatches. Read more

Artist Aaron Smith creates manly portraits of men that existed back in the old days. His bright colors give these vintage men a fresh look. I saw one of his recent shows in New York and the surface of his paintings are thick with textured paint. Wonderful work. Read more
Illustrator Jashar Awan now has a new website devoted solely to his butt kicking superhero comics and moody graphic novels. This is the kind of stuff that will appeal immensely to the childhood superhero fanatic in all of us. Read more
I generally don’t like t-shirts so much, but I really like the ones at The Martinez Design Project, the Etsy store for designer Leslie Martinez. Her work transcends the glut of silkscreened clip art in the DIY aesthetic.

Activists from all walks of life — architects, artists, children, students, skaters, and more — are documented on the Tools for Actions website, aiming to show us how, whether deliberate or not, the tiniest or the biggest project driven by the quietest or loudest voice can trigger radical change in today’s urban centres. It’s an inspiring blog, particularly for those feeling disempowered. Read more
If Pharrell’s calling these guys ‘geniuses’, you’d better watch out! Chester French are Ivy League prep boys from Massachusetts who have mastered an interesting Beatlesque sound tinged with Motown influences. When, in May 2007, the duo — D.A. and Max — completed their recording and their degrees (in African American Studies and Social Anthropology respectively), they were snapped up by Pharrell Williams’ label Star Trak.
