SUPER HIWARA : GRAFFITI-COVERED KIDS’ SCHOOL DESK

I saw this desk at Salvation Army and thought it deserved its own post. Notice the date at the top, 1/7/99. I would have bought it & removed the surface to mount on my wall, but the price was $35.

I found this image by Saiman Chow online, on what looks like a Russian art blog at kulturologia.ru. His site says,
Saiman is a illustrator, designer and animator.He shows his works at gallery sometimes. He was born in Hong Kong and now based in Brooklyn, New York.
This set of 4 drawings is called
Summer of Love. Pictured below, middle, another Saiman Chow piece of a different style, called Forest

THRIFT STORE GRAPHICS

This highly inaccurate color chart must have been posted at least 10 different places in the clothing section at the Salvation Army. Red is actually purple, as are Burgundy and Pink. Meanwhile, Purple is actually split down the middle, half blue, and half green. Teal and Blue are actually both green, while Green is tan. Even if the chart were accurate, what would its purpose be?
Below, some shots of record covers.
A cassette tape set called SELF- CONTROL has been lowered in price by 80%, despite how much the typography really pops.
This used cash register had some custom made buttons. I wish my computer had dedicated buttons for PAGERS and WORD PROCES.

Some of Kathleen’s new work, which she describes was made for a show in Brooklyn [called No Money No Problems] by a non-profit organization called “Recession Art”. It was a very cool show and the two girls behind it are amazing. Recession Art interviewed Kathleen about the dollar bill series.

I put out a request for people’s pictures of their TV’s, usually taken with cell phones (sometimes taken with other kinds of cameras). I also dug up a few of my own that I could find. So many awesome ones got sent in! I also had a few bookmarked that I had come across on facebook. I’ve noticed lots of these on tumblrs, etc, and love them as a new genre of photography.

DISILLUSION, AT U OF M’S WORK GALLERY, OPENING RECEPTION FEB 12.
Posted by admin under Uncategorized
[4] Comments
Apologies for the lack of new posts. I was on a roll for a while then got caught up with a few things, including the conception and installation of a piece for the DISILLUSION art show at Work Gallery in Ann Arbor, MI.
DISILLUSION will give you a chance to see new and awesome work by myself (Tom Buckholz — got to get that SEO), Brian Hunter, Ted Kennedy, Paolo Carone, Louis Dickinson, and Ashley Elander (also co-curator of the show). I wish I knew more of the other artists, as literally every piece I’ve seen so far has been exciting and worth checking out.
I have a few new posts in the draft stage which I will give the deserved attention to after the opening (including the disappearing VIDEODROME post, which will reappear in a much more fulfilling form).

DANCE WITH ME - NOUVELLE VAGUE & GODARD
Posted by admin under Reblogging, Video
[2] Comments
Nouvelle Vague is a French band that performs
bossa nova covers of punk and new wave classics. They’re currently touring the U.S. Songs and tour dates at their myspace. I’m not sure who did the original song for this one. The clip, found on youtube, is a slightly edited version of a scene from the 1964 Jean-Luc Godard film Bande à part / Band of Outsiders. The Nouvelle Vague song replaces the original audio.It’s interesting to compare that version with the original film version of the scene, as excerpted here with English subtitles. The tone is a bit different and the scene contains moments where the music cuts out and narration about the characters comes in.
