This isn’t technically MY post, but the first by none other than Our Man in Japan, George Guida. George and I went to high school togteher and shared countless hours speculating on who would play Wolverine if they ever made an X-Men film, and discussing the finer points of Nicholas Hammond’s acting in the live action Spiderman TV show from the 70’s. We also made an ambitious film of our own (more on that later).
It is both my personal and professional opinion that the snowboard may be mankind’s greatest invention. My brother Phil owned a Snurfer back in the mid-eighties and we used to bomb the woods behind my parents house when there were 2 inches of snow on the ground. So as a tribute to the snurfer, the new INVISIBLE MAN redesign (thanks Jon) and my ongoing obsession with sharks and waves… I present the graphics I would put on a snowboard if someone were to hire me to do such a thing.
I love a good thunderstorm in the summer. Nothing like it to refresh the muggy air, and it creates a contrast that is nothing but eerie. Though it does make Logan shake like a leaf and take refuge under my desk.
A few icons whupped up for the Gelf Magazine gang. Gelf contributor Keith Huang recently had a good write-up about the comedy troupe The Hollow Men.
This is a must see show: Barry McGee at Deitch in SoHo (18 Wooster St. btw Grand and Canal). It’s running from now until August 13th. Graffitti, illustration, kinetic sculpture, sketches, video, wallpaper patterns, entire upended vans stacked on each other. Go. Across the street is one of the best tagged buildings in New York, certainly in SoHo. So you can get a double dose of street art. Why are you reading this and not on your way already.
Fellow invisibleman KW has been hiding a collection of his best NYC street photos on flickr. I thought I’d liberate one of them from the darkness..Check some more out here.
