Mr. Brainwash’s “Art Show 2011″


Went to the Mr. Brainwash exhibit yesterday on La Brea near Santa Monica Blvd. The exhibit had Brainwash’s work as well as other artists. If you have the time, you should definitely check it out, plus it’s free. All pics were taken on the iPhone.





(My favorite piece was this apple/steve jobs room)

Float like punching bag, sting like bee?


The undisputed greatest boxer of all time can now also consider himself as part of one of the most unique pieces of art I have ever seen.

California based artist Michael Kalish has been working on an intricate art structure composed of 1,300 speed punching bags, 5 miles of stainless steel pipes and 2 miles of aluminum tubing. It is reported from Yahoo! Sports that it took 3 months to design and another 5 to build The piece is titled “reALIze” and will be on display at LA Live! in Downtown Los Angeles beginning on March 25. Standing it 2 stories high it takes up a hefty 15,000 cubic feet, ideal for the man that was larger than the sport itself.

It’s truly an amazing piece because from almost every angle except one, it simply looks like random pieces of metal, and wire arranged without purpose

Rethink Your Ink

In the past people usually got tattoos that stood for something, carried an underlying meaning, or simply to help make them look a little more bad ass. But now it seems as though many people get inked just for the sake of doing it, without any foresight into whether they really want it on them for life. Do you really want that “Fuck Bitches” ink on your neck when your 40? How about an ice cream cone on your face that says “Burrr” (Gucci Mane)

I’ve come to find out that rapper Freddie Gibbs has hired LA’s fastest rising painter, illustrator and tattoo artist Jun Cha to have one of the most iconic pictures of the Black Panther’s movement tattooed on his back. It is the picture of Huey P. Newton sitting in a chair holding on to a spear and rifle in the turmoil of 1967. This time it’s a different kind of revolution.

Here’s what Cha had to say about it: “It’s a reflection of youth and independent thought, it’s a symbol for the freedom of ideas and expression. The Panthers were a group that thought for themselves. It goes hand-in-hand with the young hustlers’ generation today. Most art culture — whether it’s hip-hop, art and design, or tattooing — has had its struggle to be accepted into the larger context of society. And this tattoo is the liberation of that.”

Cha has worked with notable lifestyle brands such as The Hundreds, and C1RCA while getting props from many different entertainers and athletes. And he’s only 21! DANK.
