STREET-ART FAVES: Photos to Entice the Urban Explorer

Irina — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:59:11 +0000

Culture-bots all over NY have an opinion about their favorite spots to oggle street-art and this zeitgeist reporter is no different. This year has been an especially exciting time for the country’s most controversial canvasses. Between the Banksy documentary, news that graffiti mecca 5 Pointz will be closing, and the “Art in the Streets” exhibition at LA’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), the walls and buildings in the five boroughs have been getting just as much attention as any runway during fashion week. We’re here to help you feel included in the conversation – to make sure that you can throw down with an avenue (or two) that boasts tags, colors, and something truly special or unique. In the spirit of the museum round-up we presented a few weeks ago, here are some noteworthy spots to view urban Picasso’s throughout New York.

Lady Gaga chows down on unicorn meat

The Fashion Web — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 15:35:03 +0000

Back in April somebody placed this request for a Lady Gaga painting over at the Alchemy at Etsy

Well, a reader at Regretsy (seller: Rose Bricetti) decided to take up on the challenge and made the painting herself.

Dear Regretsy,

When I saw the Alchemy request for a ‘Lady Gaga devouring a Unicorn’ painting you featured, I just had to bid on the project. Lo and behold, I was informed today that I will be able to put my art school degree to good use and have been commissioned for this project.

I would like to thank Regretsy for helping me bring this kind of whimsicle fuckery into my life and artwork. If you want, I’ll send you a picture of the piece when it’s done.

Namaste bitches,
Rose

Chris Acheson is a hyperrealistic artist that has taken a bit of time to focus on two of my favorite subjects; chicks in knickers and window displays. The Manchesterarian has a mutant like ability to make his paintings look like photos, a talent which has garnered him worldwide praise. Check out some of his phenominal work after and look closely, these are all oil on canvas works of art.
