20 years late and probably out of context for today, the sold sticker looking like Obey
Everyone has an issue with Shepard Fairey these days. Actually most people had an issue with him last year too, and the year before that… It’s kind of funny that I’m even posting about this but considering Fairey has a pretty good show going on at Dietch and has a couple murals floating around the sticker makes sense—or does it? The question I would through... Read More
The Secret Public by John Savage & Linder Sterling
I have to admit that I didn’t know anything about John Savage or Linder Sterling until recently when I read an article from Dazed talking about a show that was displaying their publication work from 1978 to 1981. If you’re in New York the show is at Boo-Hooray Gallery c/o Steven Kasher Gallery (521 West 23rd) from May 10th – May 23rd, 2010. What I liked about... Read More

A Couple things I liked from the ITP Spring Show 2010
Checking out the ITP Spring 2010 show yesterday I was impressed with the depth of work being produced. Thinking back after coming home there were two things that I remembered distinctly. The first was the Digital Terrarium by Michael Knuepfel and Noah Waxman. Dropping an ant hill on the table ants would disperse to find food. What made it exceptional is that the digital ants would...

At the risk of sounding like a tool I still think visiting deitch displaying shepard fairey is worth it
Over the weekend I checked out the latest stuff at Deitch by Shepard Fairey. He’s probably the one artist that I’ve really had to seperate the personality from the work. The fact that he lied about the AP stuff which in turn gave his original legal counsel no option but to step away from the case left a really bad taste in my mouth. I could go on about what an idiot... Read More
Comparing One Article in Print, iPad & Web from New York Magazine
I’m a fan of New York Magazine and how they’ve managed to balance both the print and online versions of the site. It’s one of the few that have done it really well actually—a lot of other publishers could learn something from their craft. Last night I cam home to the latest day late print edition of the magazine. At that point I had a small delimma, check... Read More
Why Did Notify NYC fail me Saturday Night in Times Square?
There’s much to be said about the car bomb scare that happened last Saturday night in Times Square. I have to wonder how much longer it will be till cars are not allowed in the area. I live a little more than ten blocks from that area and wonder about the initial information response to the event. That night I walked my weim Madison on our usual Park Ave stroll which takes...
