1xRun Limited Edition Print Runs
(Two recent prints Greg Mike- Identity Crisis & Roger Gastman- Spray Cans)
If you’re ever looking for limited edition prints of low brow, no brow, street, graffiti, progressive, juxtapoz-ish art from up and coming and established artists, 1xRun is a pretty good spot to keep an eye on. They’re based out of Detroit (Inner State Gallery [formally 323East]) and got their head firmly in the game.

An Epic Illustrated Homage To All 99 Of Jay-Z’s Problems
We all know that a “bitch” isn’t one of Jay-Z’s problems but what exactly are the other 99? Well, cultural anthropologist (a.k.a. artist) Ali Graham has tackled this mammoth curiosity and enlightens us through his illustrated journey.
Do make sure to peep the rest which are being put up on Ali Graham‘s special 99 Problems tumblr. And send him encouragement to fuel his future historic endeavors.
(Also make sure to check out Ice-T’s original, less ubiquitous version of 99 Problems.)

Nelson Mandela Tribute By Phil Akashi
Photo from Phil Akashi’s website
I’ve been wanting to do a tribute piece to Nelson Mandela for awhile now (the best idea I’ve had so far for a t-shirt is “A T-shirt Does No Justice To This Man’s Legacy”). Lucky for us, I’ve been beat to the punch in the tribute department. Artist Phil Akashi did a mural in Shanghai of the legend by donning boxing gloves and punching a wall 27,000 times with a Chinese/Taoist ink and the characters 自由/”Freedom.”
Read about the location, technique, and watch video @Good Magazine and the artist’s website.
