Who doesn’t like a down ass tatted up mall rat with a dripping triple scoop ice cream cone? Cop a print at Rik Lee’s shop and make her yours. On paper at least.

New Swampy Print- Owl of Yawn
For all of those intrigued by the mysterious myth of photographer/artist Swamp Donkey who disappears and reappears via riding freights to every corner of the nation (and Mexico as well), He’s just dropped a brand spanking new print to help rustle up some greenbacks for his next big, secret project. And if you’ve never personally espied a Swampy doodle in some dark corner or train yard then you’re not living right and walking on the fringes. Hit up PaperMonster for the print before they go poof.
Co-opted and Commodified con’t
Does a relatively trivial family trauma plus a video that rips off Wes Anderson plus a media strategy aimed at the indy geeks at NPR equal $14,000 from friends and friends of friends? Paul Sahre is trying to find out.
If this project is funded it might usher in the Kickstarter backlash everyone wants.
Co-opted and Commodified
I’m going to call this out and say this looks like a corporate stunt, looking to mooch publicity off of the “controversy” of “street art” (all quotes specifically intended).
I personally approve of making dough off of anything. Especially street art. Co-opt to the max. But I’m also pretty broke and would just like the money.
[ed. note- just realized this is outside a gallery in Paris. Same thing, all of the above still applies.]
BaoHaus X Sophia Chang Art Collabo
Atmosphere and an appeal to the senses are everything next to taste when it comes to a restaurant and BaoHaus has got it on lock (yes this also applies to dingy hole in the walls, you know that adds to the experience). Not only does their in house playlist consist of classic hip hop from the 80′s to the naughts (classic doesn’t gotta mean old) which they post online but they also take care of your sense of sight while taking care of your sense of taste.
Enter their art collabo with Sophia Chang. She tackles the Bun Bao experience with a perfect combination of cute and hardcore, taking the bun and spittin out a hip hop pun. I’ll let her work speak for itself…with assistance by the lyrics of Action Bronson, Tribe Called Quest, Camron, Juelz Santana, and more.

Tupac/Animal Chin Bootleg T-shirt Of The Month
Toronto’s No Fun Press has added another future/present classic. Cop one before they’re gone like…
“On May 29, 2011, PBS News Hour reported Tupac alive and well in New Zealand. Since that date, until spring of 2012, there was a widespread media blackout and coverup. Following ‘Pac’s appearance at a popular music festival, another cover story, this time involving “holograms” has been spread throughout social media.
No Fun has begun the only thing that seems logical at this point – a grassroots awareness campaign. Tupac Lives! HAVE YOU SEEN HIM”
