I guess today is a photo kind of day. The folks at Vanity Fair bring us an easy on the eyes slideshow of Bond Girls. All the ladies here

Giant magazine has a nice little slideshow from a visit to Kehinde Wiley‘s studio. Kehinde Wiley is kind of awesome. See the photos here

Went deep into Bed Stuy for the opening of Bast’s show last night.  Nice crowd, nice space, nice artwork.  As always pictures can never do the real thing justice but, if you’re interested, picture evidence after the jump.

Sometimes, I get to thinking about what I would like to see in art. Dioramas are one of those random approaches that keep coming back to me. For his upcoming group show, Poets of Paste, Armsrock has created four unique dioramas. Each piece reflects sharply, his dark, scrambling black and white drawings. After the jump are the three others that will be on display at Ad Hoc Art this Friday.

Well, I’m glad somebody thought of this.

Bless that man Larry Flynt for giving us such a great title.  See them all on xpozio here.

Tonight, deep in the heart of Brooklyn, Bast will inaugurate the Brooklynite Gallery with his show Nose Candy.  The street collage master will be returning to his roots and featuring a show strictly focused on his prints.  The opening is from 7 to 9, if you have the chance, stop by.

Before Obey Giant was an individual entity, Shepard Fairey was a partner with Dave Kinsey in BLK/MRKT Visual Communications.  I found a great photostream taken by Acamonchi of the offices between 1998 and 2002.  Above is Shepard’s desk, circa 1999.  Enjoy.

Lucky for us in New York, Swoon has been beautifying the streets once again.

If this makes it into production, sign me up.

Swindle has got some great flicks of Supervision and the Seventh Letter Crew in Korea.

In celebration of Factory Fresh opening tonight in Bushwick, C-Monster is giving away this Fresh crate by Skewville on her site.  To win, leave a line in the comments here about why you need some freshness in your life.  Can’t beat that.  And check out the entire site as well, rather informative and dope.

I caught a glimpse of this album cover this morning and something struck me as very similar.  I remembered this Banksy piece (below) from his Barely Legal show in Los Angeles.  Quite similar, no?  Banksy has been known to do album covers in the past, and Coldplay is British, so it wouldn’t be a stretch.  If he did not do this however, the designer who did should get a finger cut off or something to the sort.

The print of this is available through Upper Playground right now.  Very well worth it.

Holy Taco has put together a list of the 10 most worthless college majors.  I dunno about this one.
