It Gets Better is an artfully inspiring series of videos meant to show LGBT youth that the pains and frustrations of growing up L, G, B, or T in our culture fade with time. This episode, featuring Randy Potts, the grandson of fiery anti-gay minister Oral Roberts, is especially chilling and empowering.

When i was a kid, I thought graffiti was awesome. Not much has changed. I also thought it would be awesome to paint my parent’s living room. They refused, repeatedly.

In New York City, hip-hop and graffiti run as tight as Wu and Tang. Queens rapper Meyhem Lauren’s new music video for Got the Fever celebrates this hallowed union in glossy HD. Directed by rising photographer Tom Gould, the video catches the city’s finest street artists bombing landmarks across the boroughs. It’s also a beautiful example of the low-budget, DSLR cinematography that’s fast becoming the next major street art.

I don’t know how artists find their voice, what style and medium really speaks to them, and give them the desire to create. I’ve certainly never had deep thoughts involving sequins. But in Kristin Morland’s hands, they become beautiful images. I look at them in a whole new light now. Read more
Sriracha is probably one of the most loved condiments these days, and this print over at The Best Part celebrates the spicy/sweet Thai hot sauce and its iconic status in our current culture.

There are few more joys an artist has in life than coming across great resources for inspiration. Lately I’ve been studying typography, the meaning of words, and then something as simple as trying to find all the ’7 letter words’ I can so that it might fit into my latest musings. Read more
Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs are primarily remembered for the song Wooly Bully, but I’ve been incessantly listening to Little Red Riding Hood. As a metalhead, any song that features howling makes me happy.
