new york art book fair

at MoMA PS1 the new york art book fair is a huge chic open art party with  entertainment, cash bar, food concession. but in some ways this groovy scene is weirdly like a spruced up expensive version of the wall street occupation.  i mean the diversity, the outfits, festive atmosphere, graffiti-like signs and posters... the degree to which street style permeates the cultural atmosphere.  i tend to love high culture and low culture and avoid the in between (dive bar to balthazar! when i see the new york magazine approval matrix i only look at the corners. maybe this sounds liberal elitey, but i'm DEFINITELY not elite) it's cool how they influence and mirror each other.

japan relief shirt / los angeles street art on melrose and fairfax / ken brown istanbul street art pics

we're printing a new edition of the shirt with the japanese stamps on it and will donate 10% of the total sales (wholesale or retail) to tsunami relief. we wish we could give even more but we have to be sure we cover our costs 'cause we're starving artists.



on another note this familiar owl recently appeared as a handsome piece of street art in la by wllm. the photo is from the terrific street art blog melrose and fairfax. when i saw this i sent them a photo of our owl skirt...

but they didn't want to run it because it would be too close to marketing... which is not their mission... which only endeared me more to this blog! ha! happened on it when googling some art a few months ago, and briefly got a little addicted. smart, funny, sincere. insidery. posts of beautiful art at almost live blog pace- at least 3 (or 6... or 12!) times a DAY. the blow by blow los angeles pre-oscar banksy visitation, and all the crazy mayhem that ensued, is here, and so are artists unknown.
