Sam Flores, whose show Senso to Heiwa opens at Lineage Gallery next week, is half mexican. On his blog, he reveals that other half, Pepe.

Starting November 12th and running through the 16th, Brooklyn-based artist collective Faile will be holding a lottery to secure the ability to purchase work directly from them. Talk about demand!

“You will be able to enter the lottery at any time during these 5 days. The lottery will randomly generate a “winner / winners” and those people will be notified through the email entered in the lottery site on Nov. 20th.”

If you like their work and feel good about playing the lotto then do it.

Steve Powers is one of our favorite artists ever, so we were ecstatic to get some great images of his 8 day week installation that is currently part of his The Magic Word show at Pafa right now. Enjoy!

Greetings you scat-daddy scallywags, as your Main Man Gene P curled up with his favorite Wednesday night accoutrements: a 22 of the Balantine and a bag of crab chips to watch his favorite Wednesday night primetimer: Kid Nation, he was met with the very screen you see above. At first I thought I might have eaten one of those Fisher Price toys with the GHB in it, but I remembered my roommate already took those to a party in Bushwick. Then what was I seeing? Russian spy messages? A heated game of Pong??? Nyet! It was just my shitty TV doing what it does best, stopping me from getting awesome with the weekly radditude of CBS primetime. How was I to ever know if Green would make the Upper Class??? No worry, for any of you that are so hopelessly out of the loop, each show is archived on CBS’s website. These bad boys are too damn good to not share and we thank the fine folks at CBS for realizing that. So if you haven’t already, don’t delay cause this show is one not to miss. There’s a talent show where Olivia does stand-up, Green FINALLY wins upper class, and there’s no bonus reward cause the suckers on Yellow couldn’t finish the challenge. They also gave the gold star to some girl who I think wanted to go home or something, I’m not sure, at this point I was kind of bored so I started eating plastic stuff around the apartment to see if it could get me high. I kind of lost track of the show when I started choking on the stands for one of the Wii controllers.

I like this site and its rant

A Kaws kind of day. I was happy to find that included in the box that contained the white Zooth were these sick tarot card stickers.

Not only is the name of this website great, its content is tip-top. Over the years Cocaine Blunts has unearthed some of the dopest songs that I had never previously heard, including Young D Boyz, Sellin’ Cocaine as Usual

Artist/illustrator Kerry Roper created this Ltd. edition Giclee print on 350g acid free fine art paper signed and editioned by the artist. Edition of 100. Buy now from 4wall.

What’s better than hot models making fun of people with addictions. Italian Vogue pulls out all the stops,”Super Mods Enter Rehap”, photographed by Steven Meisel, documents a few recognizable ‘spreads’ straight from the tabloids. It paints a perfect portrait on what celebrity rehab must be like. Here are more than a few highlights from the shoot after the jump. Enjoy.

Not only is Kaws talented with traditional mediums, he is also very apt at making plates of food into something special. As a reader of his blog, I have always been drawn towards his Art of Grub. Now you can be too.
