Posted by sleepboy, March 29, 2010

After stopping by the David Zwirner booth at Art Basel last year and checking out the wonderful Marcel Dzama pieces in their inventory, we also learned about an upcoming R. Crumb show. The controversial show from the infamous cartoonist featuring a comic version of the first book of the Old Testament (previewed), has come and gone but the good folks of Vernnisage TV have documented everything with some video footage (seen above).

Posted by juggernut3, March 29, 2010

On Thursday night, AM was on hand to catch the opening of Justin BUA’s homecoming show at the Pop International Gallery. Justin’s innovative mix of urban and illustrative styles drew many of the Big Apple’s finest out to attend the opening. As mentioned in our preview, this show had an impressive mix of old and new. From his classic “DJ” and “1981” to his latest centerpieces of Muhammad Ali and Jay-Z, he shows his talent for using his illustrative techniques and his creativity to capture […]

Street art lovers will be happy to hear that two pretty awesome films “Dirty Hands” and “Exit Through The Gift Shop” from David Choe (featured) and Banksy respectively will be opening in select cities in the United States.

D*Face x Christina Aguilera “Bionic” Album Cover

Posted by sleepboy, March 28, 2010

Looks like the rumors of D*Face (interviewed) creating the cover for noted art collector and singer Christina Aguilera’s newest album were true. After hitting up the Oscars earlier this month, the winged one continues his forays into American pop culture with this “Bionic” album (scheduled for a June release). Although mostly devoid of classic D*Face imagery, on closer examination, you can see his name and logo there along with others important in Aguilera’s life like “Jordan” for her husband, “Mom” for her mother, and “Max” […]

Streets: TrustoCorp – San Francisco to New York City

Posted by Ken, March 28, 2010

TrustoCorp (covered) went bi-coastal this month, hitting up the greater San Francisco area with some of his classic street signs; and then following that up with a fresh batch of new designs for his hometown, New York City. The counter-cultural and artistic parallels between the East Bay’s Berkeley and New York’s East Village are plentiful, making both locations ripe for the bombing. As always, if you’re a resident of any city that TrustoCorp has hit up, please feel free to upload any pictures you may […]
