Shepard Fairey Tuesday: Supply and Demand Reviewed on ArtNet

As the summer vacation season opens up, I am once again reminded to schedule in a weekend trip up to Boston to revisit Shepard Fairey’s 20 year retrospective at the ICA. ArtNet just published this nice review of it.
sex (not sex)

This is an awesome site that is not safe for work in the slightest way. Do it.
Fuck Yeah, Ryan McGinley!

The title says it all, Ryan McGinley 24/7. Tumble on Tumblrs!
Rumsfeld Documents

Donald Rumsfeld was that deceptively scary kind of crazy.
Friday suicide(girl)

Everyday the girls over at Suicide Girls send us a preview of the day. So we thought that we would wait until Friday and pick our favorite. Plus, I can’t think of a better way to start of the weekend. This week…Amanita Suicide. More info about her after the jump.

Taki 183 returns!

On July 21st, 1971 the headline ‘Taki 183′ Spawns Pen Pals appeared in the NY Times. On May 13th, 2009, Taki 183 got a website. The first two lines of the Times article read as such “Taki is a Manhattan teenager who writes his name and his street number everywhere he goes. He says it is something he just has to do.” I didn’t want to pay for the rest of the article but, you can (or if you’re smart, download it from his site or peep it after the jump.) I am more concerned with spending my money on one of the spraypainted prints that are for sale on his website. Yes, that tag above is original, and spraypainted by Taki himself. True graffiti history.

He takes nice photographs, have a look.
Chicken Wings! really?

I forgot how much I like Vice’s Do’s and Don’ts. The scary thing this one was under “Do.”
“Quitting cigarettes is easy. But wings? Those fuckers are impossible to resist, so don’t even try. Just accept it and be proud.”
screen caps

There is so much great material in movies that capturing stills can become an art form of its own. With that in mind, Screen Caps is a website that can survive until the end of time.
