Art: Drive By Press stops in Memphis
According to their currently under reconstruction site, "The Dirty Printmakers of America are dedicated to the perpetuation, growth and understanding of printmaking and exhibiting contemporary American prints."
All those fancy words basically mean, for years they have created art that they love and then one day, founder, Joseph Velasquez had an epiphany that others just may love it too! And more importantly others may want to create a little bit themselves...like moonshine. So they began an extension of DPA called Drive By Press and they literally took their show on the road.
This past weekend Drive By Press made a stop in Memphis and several of us got to create some pretty fly art on scraps of clothe choosing from a plethora of wood cuts. I chose their logo, of course, because I wanted to remember them and I wanted to share them with you!
A little birdie (not Twitter) told me that VINI (Fiveinone.org) will be bringing them back soon... below is a video from their visit to VINI last spring.
Adore: Selfridges & Co explains their love for fashion
Selfridges & Co in Manchester featured this intricate and thought provoking window display recently. A light shining on an decadent garment with the word ADORE at the foot. Beautiful right?
Well what if I told you that decadent garment was designed by the late Alexander McQueen who committed suicide in February and saddened the fashion community worldwide.
Honestly, in my opinion, McQueen was fashionably morbid like that and he saw art in everything and created art of out anything. I think, wherever he is, he loves it. He was adored and still is. For those that are left, here, Selfridges & Co. has released this statement...
"Presenting a fashion item from the new Alexander McQueen collection hanging was never intended to be linked to the designer's untimely death or how he died. Nearly all the new season items from our new window scheme, The Desirables showcased in both our London and Manchester stores, are hung artistically on their own to present them as even more extraordinary. However we do acknowledge that, in retrospect, presenting the Alexander McQueen dress in our Manchester Exchange Square store in this way was a mistake and would like to apologise if this particular window has upset anyone. The dress has been removed and replaced by another designer's garment."

Inspiration: MJ's We're Almost There (cus we are)
Every single day for the past two weeks I have listened to this song twice a day. Inspired by the amazing sample in the Raekwon/Meth/Ghostface banger "Our Dreams."
It's Hump day, it's 3 days to the Strange Fruit Vintage Launch Party and it's day 4 of less than 5 hours of sleep. But you know what....WE'RE ALMOST THERE.
I LOVE YOU MICHAEL JACKSON, FOREVER, FOR ALWAYS.
