Glen Friedman: Idealist Propaganda

One of my favorite photographers of all time, Glen Friedman, will be exhibiting a new show in Los Angeles' Subliminal Projects Gallery. I am excited because he is displaying some never seen before photos. For those of you not familiar with his work, Friedman is a photographer who traveled back and forth from NYC and LA at a young age (his mother lived in LA and father in NYC I believe). He was a kid who had a love for photographing some of his very talented friends doing what they loved to do. It just so happened that these good friends happened to be people like Tony Hawk, Tony Alva, The Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Russell Simmons, Run DMC, Public Enemy and many more. His book The Idealist and Fuck You Heroes are MUST haves for anyone who appreciates photography. Here are some of his more memorable photos that you probably recognize:


A young Tony Hawk:

The Blizzards - The Reason (Music Video)

Irish indie band, The Blizzards, recently commissioned Wyld Stallyons to produce the music video for their single 'The Reason'. While I think the song blows, I really dig the video. Here is what the producer had to say about the video:

"Taking the lyrics as our inspiration, we took the germ of an idea from the singer of the band and combined it with some thoughts of our own about unrequited love and giant monsters destroying a city. We blended 3D and 2D animation to create a strange, monochromatic world for our characters to inhabit; and thanks to the power of Relentless energy drinks and our ability to go without sleep for days, the video was turned around in record time."

Apple triBook Info Leaked

Seems like the geniuses over at Apple are still geniuses. They have recently leaked some information about their next next concept - the triBook.



The dimensions for the triBook are 6.75 x 10 inches, and it is about 1 inch thick. When folded out, the landscape display is about 21 inches (cartwheel, cartwheel).

Laser Graffiti @ Art Basel (Miami)

Here is a video I cam across of some very dope laser graffiti done by Graffiti Research Lab (GRL) at the American Airlines Arena in Miami during Art Basel shortly after the Gen Art Vanguard show. Of course, some cops had a stick up their ass and decided to be 'agua fiestas' .

I don't hate many things, but I really do hate cops.
