Bad Brains Interview on SlamxHype

Christina — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 01:29:44 +0000

Nice exclusive interview and photos with HR from Bad Brains. His responses start to get a little convoluted toward the end, but you should always listen to old punks, even when they start talking like a bottle of Dr. Bronners…

Kevin Hayes Interview on Fecal Face…

Christina — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 21:59:10 +0000

Our good homie Kevin Hayes has a mini-interview up on Fecal Face! Kevin shoots takes amazing nude portraits of girls looking louche and comfy and totally like themselves, even when you can’t see their face. There’s so much trust in his photos, it’s sort truly moving and sort of fucked up at the same time. He also shoots lots of everyday things that remind of when everyday things mattered to you. A lot.

Kevin talks all sorts of awesome about his work. Read the interview here.

Scott Albrecht @ The Curiosity Shop

Christina — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:52:45 +0000

The Curiosity Shop is an San Francisco boutique shilling “crafts, kits, and curios for the creatively inclined,” as serves as a gallery space for artists from all over the country. SOMETHINGMISTAKENFORNOTHING is a solo exhibition of new works by artist Scott Albrecht. With his type-based imagery and hand-drawn/ hand-cut lettering style, Albrecht attempts to re-contextualize words and phrases stripped of their meaning through the sheer ubiquity of them in everyday language.

From the artist statement: “If we could only isolate ourselves from how we perceive these phrases, and experience them literally, as if for the first time, we might actually find that they have the potential of expressing something truly heartfelt.’

The show opens this Friday in SF. Stop by if you’re in the bay area!

Them Thangs Zine – The New Dark Age

Christina — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 01:33:14 +0000

Them Thangs is a a stunning/ridiculous/beautiful blog of visual inspiration from Amsterdam-based artist and graphic designer Justin Blyth. It’s a never ending digital scroll of images sourced from god-knows-where and who-the-hell-cares. The cryptically titled collages betray a mild obsession toward everything wonderful and awful about youth and sex and growing old and being cool. Or not cool.

The New Dark Age is Them Thangs’ first foray into print and commissioned content. The seemingly small zine folds out into a 24″ x 33″ double-sided poster with contributions from friends and countrymen William Eadon, Harper Smith, Mark Magiorri, Todd Tourso and more…
