Don’t know who, what, where, when, and if there is even a how, but this is one of those photos that makes you feel good about humans and their ability to create. Everything about this building is flawless; space, shape, height, and curves. Breathtaking.
We don’t like to report on the finances of our friends, so we will let David explain about why he, David Choe, was on the cover of the New York Times today, just below the Egypt soccer riots, and why he and Facebook will continue to be tied together in some sort of way.
Fuck, have you had the dream where you ARE this guy?!? And then some kind of happy accident happens , and as you’re in the middle of this glorious car crash , you stop to realize , that there is actually no such thing as an accident, and no chance encounters, and that everything has a direct purpose ? am I the only one that has this dream ? You never had that dream?It’s actually very very similar to another dream I have where I wake up at noon to my phone ringing, and the ringtone is butterfly wings, I pick it up and it’s Howard stern, the view, Ellen, Charlie rose, telemundo and every news outlet in the world and they are all begging to have morning breath phone sex with me. I rub one out quick to a cacophony of moans and then I get up and see my picture on the cover of the new york times and I find out that I’m the most highest paid decorator alive……..To be continued ☺ LOL”
Belgian artist Jean-Luc Moerman has created this nice series of tattoos-like work over the top of religious classics. The baby balls, must we say, look better in Moerman’s hands. Er, we mean pen. (via)
One of the most underrated songs in the Beatles catalog (which is a dumb thing to even write) is the George Harrison 1966 gem, “I Want to Tell You.” Revolver is full of special moments, jumping from feeling to feeling, and Harrison seems to more in-tune with Lennon on this album, taking pop to new levels.
A true game-changer and one of the most influential American artists to come from the post-punk movement, Mike Kelley appears to have committed suicide today. He was 57. He did the cover of Sonic Youth album, Dirty, but also a slew of amazing installation pieces that incorporated mass culture with high brow fused together. He will be missed. A nice obit is at the LA Times.
The young artist Owen Gatley definitely nails it here. He has done commissions for Think Quarterly, Waitrose Magazine and The Times, and this map of the world is a new spin on an often-worked upon medium. (via)
