When Shepard Fairey last spoke with SuicideGirls, he talked about the rebellious allure of both punk rock and street art, and in his latest gallery show, REVOLUTIONS, he directly combines the two. The exhibition, which opens this Saturday (March 12) at Robert Berman’s C2 Gallery at Bergamot Station in Los Angeles, will feature 80 pieces based on the 12 inch record cover form.
REVOLUTIONS, which Fairey calls “a celebration of all the great music and accompanying art that has inspired me over the years,” reflects the LA graffiti artist’s love of punk, and of the hip-hop scene he is associated with. However, there’s also a somewhat unexpected influence, as seen in a series of pieces which pay homage to the rich visual vocabulary of heavy metal.
Inspired by the positive feedback we’ve received from her Vehicle Maintenance 101 video posts, Shotgun Suicide is taking on bodywork of a more personal kind. In the first part of her new ongoing Body Mods 101 series, Shotgun Suicide takes you through the basics of getting a new tattoo, and aftercare for it.
Go to any Starbucks in New York or Los Angeles and you’re guaranteed to find yuppie after yuppie, hunched over their MacBooks, working on a “screenplay.” By “screenplay,” of course, I mean Facebook…or online poker…or SuicideGirls – hopefully. There are a lot of screenplays floating around out there, though, and only an infinitesimal percentage of them will ever make it to the big screen one day. Why? Because most of them are shit. 99% of them are makeshift, amateurishly conceived pats on the back. Most movies are bad, so writing a screenplay must by extension be a piece of cake, right? Yeah, no. Even the most bloated, awful Hollywood blockbusters start out with a good screenplay. Hard to believe, but it’s true.
