31 Days Of Halloween

Okay. It's almost October and I thought it'd be fun to get a jump on my month long series I call '31 Days Of Halloween'. We kick this shindig off with Wes Craven's 'The Serpent And The Rainbow' [1988]

Resurrect Dead: The Mystery Of The Toynbee Tiles

The artist responsible for the Toyenbee Tiles is unknown...and probably a few cents short of a buck...judging by the rantings I've personally seen on scores of tiles glued to streets across the US. To a small group of people, it was far more a mystery, enough so that a documentary film was created and ran all the way to the Sundance Film Festival. Now, I am intrigued enough to send a 'friend request' to the crew at Resurrect Dead and drop this indie flick into my Netflix queue!

Another State Of Mind

This documentary [1982] follows Social Distortion, Youth Brigade & a busted-up yellow school bus on their tour of 30+ cities in 35 days...or their attempt to. Near the ass-end of their tour they crash at Minor Threat's Dischord House, before calling it quits and heading home.

Bomb The Bass 'Megablast'

Dang son...it's crazy to think that I bought this single near 'bout 25 years ago. Bomb The Bass is still my all-time favorite turntablist. When Tim [Bomb The Bass] released this single/ album, he was something like 15 years old.

James Gallagher 'Frantic Fits'

The crew at Pawn Works bring what promises to be another fan-fukking-tastic show, featuring the collage work of Brooklyn based artist, James Gallagher.

"James Gallagher uses collage to investigate human form and personal identity. Piecing together images cut from discarded books, forgotten issues of National Geographic, and the occasional vintage sex-manual, Gallagher creates stark and provocative scenes that reflect the world around him. ..."

Jonathan Levine

"To commemorate the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, street artist WK collaborates with New York City firefighters to create a large-scale public mural, measuring 328 feet (100 meters) wide. Full of passion and motion, his images of the iconic firefighter (NY’s bravest) symbolize the many heroes that helped New Yorkers survive the tragic events of 2001, and how their courage inspired the world.

WK was born in Caen, France. He has lived and worked in NYC for the past 20 years. He feels grateful and proud to be a French New Yorker. With this mural he wishes to pay tribute to all the heroes of 9/11 and give something back to the city of New York..."

Cut & Paste: 21st Century Collage

"In the digital age, the original meaning of cut and paste has been replaced with a few clicks of a mouse, This has led to a lot of derivative and unimaginative computer produced work. In response to this, artists have returned to using more traditional methods of making images. There has been a resurgence of drawing and illustration and collage has recently been rediscovered. Collage is the natural progression of illustration, as it combines drawing with the other mediums..."
