A while back an ideal art show popped into my head, "Brooklyn's Finest". The idea was to give Los Angeles a taste of Brooklyn Street Art. New Image Art has done just that with the upcoming show "The Burning House". Featuring Swoon, Faile, and David Ellis it looks to be a doozy, with the opening surely to be one hell of a party. My guess is that it will sell out almost immediately, so if you are in L.A. on the 20th of January, go to the opening. If not, then try to see the show before it closes on February 24th and go hit up a taco truck. Mmmmmmm Tasty!

This is the worlds best ever fashion campaign for Miu Miu, with a behind the scenes photo "documentary". After view the pictures, you feel like you just flipped through a PG-13 version of Nobuyoshi Araki's portfolio.

Phonogram is a brilliant six-part mini-series developed by Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie and released by Image Comics in September '06. With covers paying homage to some of the great britpop albums of the 90s ( Definitely Maybe, It's Great When You're Straight...Yeah, Suede, Elastica) , they've proven to be quite successful, with the first two issues selling out immediately (currently on their second printing). The premise of the story is as follows:

"PHONOGRAM traces the misadventures of Phonomancer David Kohl as he hunts for whoever is interfering with his old patron, the long-dead Goddess of Britpop, Britannia. If he fails, history itself will be rewritten - with him entirely out of it. "

Issue #4 is out today.
