IT’S A BAD BRAINS CHRISTMAS
I think yule dig this. This video uses “Pay To Cum” the first Bad Brains song I ever heard in late 1983. The song rules and so does this Peanuts mash-up. This video provided more sheer joy than I’ve felt in a while. Now that I have kids who love Sponge Bob and The Ramones this kind of thing makes me very happy. Watch it and forget that you’re a cynical asshole for a minute or two(literally). Peace together, not a piece apart. Happy holidaze.
NEW BOHEMIA SIGNS: EAST ON SUNSET x SUBLIMINAL PROJECTS
Subliminal Projects is pleased to present New Bohemia Signs: East on Sunset. New Bohemia Signs (NBS) is a shop in San Francisco that has employed a collective of designers, artists, and sign makers to produce exclusively hand painted and gilded signs since 1992. For this exhibition, members of NBS spent time on the Eastern edge of Sunset Boulevard that runs through Silverlake, Echo Park and into Downtown Los Angeles. They absorbed the visual layers of the neighborhood, local businesses and street signs to gain an understanding of the personalities that work, play and define this particular area of Los Angeles.
RECEPTION DATES:
Friday, December 7 • 8 PM – 11 PM
EXHIBITION DATES:
December 8 – January 12, 2013

Wynwood Walls Mural Revisited x Shepard Fairey
The crew and I came out to Miami a little ahead of Art Basel to redo my Wynwood Walls mural as a tribute to Wynwwod Walls creator Tony Goldman, who recently passed away. I spoke to Tony’s wife Janet and discussed his inspirations in art, music, and politics. Many of his heroes are my heroes too, so I created a mural to celebrate Tony and our mutual inspirations. That’s Tony with the cowboy hat in the center warmly greeting visitors as he always did. The Goldmans have been an incredible support not only to me, but to many artists. The Wynwood Walls have a ton of great murals. Check them out if you come to Miami.
The old mural was wheat-pasted, but the new mural is painted, so it should last! Legendary photographer Martha Cooper documented the process and the final piece, here are a few of her photos. Thanks Martha!

Safecast – radiation monitoring – please watch!
My long time friend Sean Bonner has been working on a great project called Safecast to measure and report radiation in Japan. The methodology of the project demonstrates that grass roots “do it yourself” ingenuity can accomplish what slow moving governments cannot. Sean comes from punk rock, so he knows the time when it comes to making things happen outside the system. The project is a noble effort, and more exposure is very beneficial. Please take a second to check out the 3 minute doc. Thanks.
