Are you fuckin kidding me.. The buff bitches are getting that serious about paper pasted to fucked up brick walls on run down warehouses? Lovely to see where the priorities of the city are. I think it’s hilarious that someone can let a structure linger and rot for 30 years and until someone writes graffiti on it or pastes something up, no one noticed it or cared about it.

Someone should contact the business/building owners of these properties and get approval for huge murals and art projects that lift the facades. Or just burn the city down.. either works for me (let the nice people go please).

Very cool! I have seen quite a few things from Shepard throughout the DNC. Check out http://cpluv.com/www/blog/jamesgardiner to see some photos that I have snapped this week. The latest post features a photo that I was able to take while seeing Michelle Obama speak on Monday night. The other photos were found on Colfax and Broadway… although I see there are quite a few similar shots floating around.

With the economy in shambles and the media preaching fear like it’s their job, shit’s gettin’ crazy. One thing to be on the lookout for this holiday season… clients. They come wearing many disguises, talking big game, and spewing all sorts of… well, often just spewing. So, here’s a little tip to all the idependent professional creatives out there, when they(clients) feel compelled to tell you just how deep their pockets are - odds are they’ve got short arms. That’s it. Deep Pockets - Short Arms. Heard that one from a buddy the other day, and it couldn’t be more dead-on. Take it or leave it. Just be on the lookout for anything remotely resembling a baby seal wearing high-end denim. It’s probably not what it seems.
