60 minutes of Scope
This is all the art I could see. Highlights include Greg Lamarche in the Anonymous Booth, Evol, and some great Frank Sinatra paintings. Our girls at Jackie Paper held it down too.
Artorialust: Scoped Out
El Toro went over to Scope’s opening night and came back with proof that hot chicks love art.
90 minutes at the Armory Show
The Armory Show opens to the public today in New York. Besides the void left by Deitch, things were business as usual.
Revok Presents The World’s Best Graffiti (pt. 1)
A while back I asked Revok if he would be interested in doing a monthly column about who’s killing it in the graff world. I was psyched when he said yes. So now without further ado, Roid.
Babes of Yore: Marguerite Empey
Marguerite Empey was an American Model, dancer, and actress. A killer babe, with a killer body.
Big thanks to our girl Kristin who makes this feature happen every week
World War covers of Life
Life magazine’s emphasis was on photojournalism. Whoever art directed the covers from 1939 until 1945 was a beast.

Chicago Gang Calling Cards from the ’70s and ’80s
Our friends at We Are Supervision put a bunch of these calling cards up on their site last year. We decided to wipe the internet dust off and have a second look. Peep the full galleries here, and here.

This is simply a slideshow about the most exciting years of Iron Mike’s career. That’s all.
Gilles Barbier, L’Hospice (2002)
Beautiful.
If Garry Shandling was Hollywood
The Garry Shandling Show was it. I got sent this link to the Garry Shandling Movie Poster Project the other day and laughed. This link to Letters to Jeff Goldblum made me laugh too.
the 2010 Whitney Biennial
With the Whitney Biennial opening to the public, we look back at a slideshow from December showing examples of the work of all the Artists.
For more information on the Whitney Biennial, their site is a good place to look.
A look through Barry McGee’s Hoss
While digging through a bunch of old books last night, I came across this catalogue for Barry McGee’s Hoss exhibition at Rice University back in 1999. Sick stuff, Enjoy.
Philadelphia
I went down to Philly on Saturday, stops included the ICY Shop and a ride along the Septa to look at the Love Letter Project. Thanks to Mr. Lukas and Mr. Fosik for the hospitality, Mr. Rosenberg for the transportation, and Mr. Powers for saving me from a second cheeseteak.
