BILLY SCHON 'FRESH PAINT NYC" BOOK RELEASE

Billy Schon's new book 'Fresh Paint NYC' (on Schiffer Books) is set to hit the streets in a couple of weeks. Billy has busted some serious ass to document some of the finest crews around. Fresh Paint NYC is hardbound & only 35-bucks...that's about the same price as 2 Venti-Lattes at Starbucks!

Check out Fresh Paint's Blog: http://freshpaintnyc.blogspot.com

"Over 400 eye-popping photos provide a decade-long tour of graffiti in New York City. Walls, trucks, and subway cars are featured with graffiti by the crews X-Men, KD, TNB, 156, RIS, AOK, TC-5, FAME CITY, COD, XTC, TFP, MCI, IF, DYM, 718, TD4, SMART, TATS CRU, FLY-ID, GFR, AKB, and many more. Because New York City has made a concerted effort to remove graffiti from the city, the images captured here will never be seen again. Walls were repainted and some buildings were demolished, keeping graffiti crews working fast to keep ahead of the trend. The author worked even faster to capture their ephemeral efforts."

'I LEGO NY' by CHRISTOPH NIEMANN

"I LEGO N.Y. is an imaginative look at life in New York City constructed entirely out of LEGOs. Designer and illustrator Christoph Niemann was inspired to create a series of miniature New York vignettes out of his sons' toys after a few cold and dark winter days in Berlin. The former New Yorker then posted photographs of his creations along with his handwritten captions on his New York Times blog. Resident and honorary New Yorkers around the world responded enthusiastically to the clever and minimalist inventions, which captured both the iconic (the Empire State Building) and the mundane (man standing on a subway platform) in fewer LEGO pieces than one might think possible..."

KANYE WEST...IS A BLOGGIN' MUTHA' F*KKA'!

If you know me, then you know that I've got no love, zero, zip for the Kanye West. I think that he's a spoiled little baby. A megalomaniac, to the ump-teenth degree. I don't think that in any way, is he the 'best rapper alive'...much as he believes himself to be. And I sure as shit don't think that he's the accomplished fashion designer some of you Kanye-lovers out there in Kanye-land have convinced yourself he is.
So needless to say, it was very, very painful for me to visit his new website...in all its A-typical Kanye-hype and all. He's really pimpin' this to be the next-level 'fashion & art' blog. I however, was sure it'd also be yet another platform for him to promote himself. Sometimes the universe proves me wrong...like this morning. I went to his site and other than the one Kanye-poem, it is a website somewhat dedicated to art and fashion...of course, fashion that real people could never in their lifetime afford.
So with a grain of salt, I am suggesting that you hit his site. http://www.kanyewest.com/home

Random House releases Martha Cooper's newest book, 'Name Tagging' on March 23rd.

"In Name Tagging, graffiti photography legend Martha Cooper presents a dizzying array of "Hello My Name Is" stickers adorned with tags, the origin of graffiti and today's street art cultures. Cooper's introduction, artist interviews and photographs make clear how artists famed and anonymous take advantage of the accessibility and practicality of nametag stickers. From CLAW MONEY and NECK FACE to TWIST, SURE, FAUST, COSBE and many, many more, Cooper's camera has captured the artistry and audacity of these artists and their distinctive tags."
