We have been reporting somewhat on Steve ‘Espo’ Powers Fulbright Scholarship in Ireland and now the New York Times gets into the act.  Big ups to Steve!  Read the article here and check the slideshow here

Tim Barber’s Tiny Vices has spawned TV Books.  The website went live yesterday and features a nice assortment of books as well as a gallery section featuring limited edition prints and originals by affiliated artists.  I already own a couple copies of Aurel Schmidt’s Burnouts and look forward to perusing the epic “Hello There” Patrick Griffin (above). Viva small presses!

New drinking glasses are always a welcome thing, you can never have enough. Once again, Upper Playground has released a new line of pint glasses in time for a new drinking season. I am especially digging the glass designed by Dora Drimalas (above) which throws me back to a 70′s glass my mom probably had.

It’s tough when a great show opens up over Memorial Day Weekend on a coast way opposite of your own.  Such was the case with Tiffany Bozic‘s Bedtime Stories which opened at Kinsey/DesForges this past weekend.  Well, bless the internet for having flickr, to give me immediate access to all the incredible paintings that I missed.

A radio show based on his favorite songs.  Head over here to listen

And by the way, did you see this fresh piece for sale at Jonathan Levine?

I caught this over the weekend and remembered it this morning. A nice bit of Art History.

Check out something I learnd dot com, looking for punk rock and free mp3′s then here you go. I must recommend one of my favorite bands of the 80′s which lead me to the site. State of Confusion.

Here’s a little taste.

On May 6th, 3 Oasis tracks leaked. You can read the review here and listen to them here. Regardless if it’s an “old version” (like when Radiohead leaked a while back) it’s new Oasis, and it’s good. Like most music junkies, versions are collectible!

It may have been around a while but, if you’re looking to stalk a celebrity, Page six has you covered. A google mashup allows you to track celeb’s, as they live their lives.

Some of his work has appeared in Soho. Here is Nick Walker‘s website, too.

I feel kind of dumb sometimes reporting on things like this.  It’s not like each time a writer catches a tag I take a picture of it and send it out into the internet.  But today is slow.  Thanks

When I wrote this the other day, I was joking. Apparently this girl was not. Fucking weird shit man.

Sites like this show the full potential of the internet.  See it here

If you missed the show in LA, you can check out the photo’s here. If you have no idea what it is read below …..

LA vs WAR highlights the travesty of a senseless war now going into its 6th year, giving LA artists a platform to exercise their freedom of speech. Hundreds of artists representing our diverse communities unite in delivering a universal message of peace and understanding, and offering resistance and opposition to the US government’s war policies.

Trent’s one of the good guys……
