Video: “Pringle of Scotland Spring/Summer 2010 campaign” – Ryan McGinley

Posted by Khoi, January 15, 2010

Ryan McGinley, famed photographer, but also aspiring feature film director, recently directed a video (watch it after the jump) for luxury knitwear brand Pringle of Scotland. It stars Tilda Swinton (whom McGinley has long admired) in a Pringle of Scotland dress and features signature McGinley scenes, such as forest, rocks, waves, and caves. Sorry, no nudity this time. It’s been a busy time for the artist, as he also recently had a showing at Art Basel Miami (where he was scheduled to speak) and is […]

When Montana Colors heard that Streetfiles, one of the important graffiti webzines in Europe, was in danger of closing down because of lack of funds, they responded generously. In return, Streetfiles filmed this video as a special thank you to the spanish aerosol paint company for their help. Via Montana Colors.

Tonight, The Simpsons will air their 450th episode and with it, the award winning and and groundbreaking show will also celebrate their 20th anniversary.

You may remember our studio visit with Shepard Fairey around the time of the presidential election where we got a pretty extensive tour of Studio Number One. Now comes a fascinating video from Bomit where he takes a informal look through many of Shep’s stencils. Interestingly enough, do we hear some Howard Stern on the radio in the background?

Turn it into an art gallery basically – add characters that can live there to replace the ones that should have been […]
