Jonathan Levine Gallery Openings Saturday: Parra and Olek

: Olek

: Parra

If you’re in the Nyc area tomorrow, Saturday the 23rd, Jonathan Levine Gallery has a couple of decent looking openings. Don’t really know much about Olek but she seems to be kind of bad ass and have some pretty interesting stuff. And Parra is still doing Parra with his iconic 70′s cartoon type style.

Unintended Street Art Collaboration Storytelling

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Unbeknownst to the buff, they were providing a canvas and being part of an unwilling street art collaboration, “…and so a strange harmony was found between two opposing forces.”

Kool A.D. – Eroika

Kool A.D. – Eroika has a lot of references, from Twin Peaks to YouTube, and I can’t tell if I want to party in that basement or not. Dig the screen-shirts. See also the track listing for his new album, out next week.

José Parlá/Brooklyn: Win/Win

Jose-Parla-Barclays-Center-Mural-Diary-Brooklyn-AM-19

Via Manuel Bello at ArrestedMotion

It’s always great to see good things happen for amazing artists and all around good guys. With that, cheers to José Parlá and the Barclays Center on the new 10 ft. x 70 ft. (i.e. LARGE) mural, Diary of Brooklyn, just released over the weekend. Brooklyn is lucky to have such an epic artist that calls it home.

Check out more about the story behind the mural and many more detailed photos @ArrestedMotion.
And of course, José Parlá.
