Art (Street/Animation/Portrait)

Yeah, its been a while since an update. I'm stuck here in a 3 hour class bored as all hell so I figured I'd do something somewhat 'productive' and update this. I'm just going to post some photos of some old favorites and newly found street art pieces, as well as 2 paintings from Dan Witz and a pretty mind blowing stop motion video from the street artist "Blu." Hope you enjoy...

This guys is probably my current favorite artist that I know of, all of his stuff is awesome. Sometimes pretty simple, yet complexly strange.

Julian Beever: The best to ever do 3D work...All of his stuff is done with chalk and on flat surfaces.

Alright I've got a break in class so I'm going to take it. I didn't take in a god damn word of what my teacher just said in this lecture. Fuck it, schools out in 2 weeks anyways.

"Blu" has some pretty sick stuff. I've always been amazed with Julian Beever's 3D stuff. He's so good. Have you ever seen any of Banksy's artwork? He's a British street artist. His website doesn't have shit on it; I don't even think its run by him, but Google 'Banksy' and see what you find under images. His main theme is rats, but he does some other things, too. I have a book on him.

Yeah, Banksy is real cool. My sister got me into him a while back. I've skimmed through his books at Borders but never had the balls to spend all the $$ on him.

Ian Mackaye Interview (Minor Threat, Fugazi, Dischord Records)

Image
A telephone interview with Ian Mackaye :: March 22nd, 2011. Here's someone who needs no introduction. If you have been living under a rock and need an introduction I suggest you check out this for starters: Ian Bio Approaching Oblivion: First off, what’s going on with Dischord Records? Any new releases coming up? Ian Mackaye: Well we’re going through a major transition a the moment. Our partner company, Southern, had shut down its Chicago office and that had been taken over by a company called CID. Southern and CID basically helped us with manufacturing and warehousing for the past 25 years. Last year CID decided that they wanted to focus more on being a retail store, so for the last 4 or 5 months we’ve been moving everything back here to the Dischord House. AO: Southern is from the UK, right? Ian: Yeah. Southern was started by my dear friend John Loder. In 1983 he came to see Minor Threat play and asked if he could put our record out in England. Dischord was in a pickle at the...

Interview with John Joseph (Cro-Mags, NYHC)

Image
A telephone interview with John Joseph :: March 28th, 2011. For this interview I invited my friend Jessica Harvey to be a guest-host. We cover topics from philosophy, John's new writings, and raw food dieting. ...Phone Rings... Approaching Oblivion: Hello? JJ: Hey, what’s up brothah? AO: Not much man. We were just listening to some Both Worlds. What’s new in your life? What’s keeping you so busy these days? JJ: Well I’m training for a triathlon ultimately ending with an ironman either late this year or next year. It’s tough to get into races because a lot of them sell out. But between that, I’m working on a screenplay and also an extended version of the last book I did, which will be a cookbook that includes a lot of information about what is being done with the food. So I’m keeping busy and doing Cro-Mags shows. We’ve got LA coming up and San Diego. AO: I take it the screenplay is going to be based off of your auto-biography 'The Evolution of a Cro-Mag'? JJ: ...
