Looks like George Zimmerman is a man with a plan. Yesterday, we learned that the former neighborhood watchman acquitted of murdering Trayvon Martin put a patriotic (and pretty ironic) painting on eBay — an original said to be created by Zimmerman himself. As of Tuesday morning, the painting has amassed more than 90 bids, pushing […]
This guy just won’t stop. Less than a week after charges against George Zimmerman were dropped following a domestic dispute with girlfriend Samantha Scheibe, he’s in the news again. But this time it’s all about his art — not his guns. Zimmerman has put some original artwork up for auction on eBay under the name […]
Earlier this week, a warehouse in New York City’s Meatpacking District was transformed into a disco party worthy of Samantha Jones’ fictional presence. There were neon lights, there were neon models, and more appealing than the splashes of color taking over the space, was the beautiful gown illuminated by disco balls and flashing lights floating […]
Last week, I testified in federal court as an expert witness on behalf of the 5 Pointz building. This morning, I awoke to the terrible news that the 5 Pointz building in Long Island City had been painted over to make way for yet another high-end residential building. I’ve always called 5 Pointz the graffiti museum. […]
After a full 31 days of keeping New York City on its axis waiting for the next vandalism, Banksy has at long sorrow last, wrapped up his no walls gallery exhibition, “Better In Than Out.” The 30 day exhibit turned NYC into a wall-less gallery, before it became a game of “Will Banksy’s art be vandalized […]
Well that wasn’t very nice. Everyone’s favorite mystery artist, Banksy, is doing a tour and leaving his mark on New York City, but he didn’t have very kind things to say about the 104-floor World Trade One building in NYC’s financial district. In lieu of a cryptic piece of artwork on a crumbling wall in Brooklyn or Chelsea […]
One of the truths of the universe is this: We only know how much we don’t know. How else was I expected to open up an article about one of the (arguably) most infamous anonymous street artists of this decade? It’s easy for things to get a little muddled when it comes to the “man” […]
The artist is present. Wonder what Lady Gaga and Jay Z have in common? Well, it’s their artistic connection with live performance artist Marina Abramovic. If you’re still confused as to who that is, well, Marina was the woman staring deeply into Jay Z’s eyes during the filming of “Picasso Baby,” and she’s one of […]

Uncool jokers! This is what Barbara Kruger seems to think about Supreme’s James Jebbia suing Leah McSweeney and her Married to the Mob brand for using the words “Supreme Bitch” (above) on items for the brand. Some of you may not know why this matters at all, but we’re about to put you on. The now iconic […]
It’s safe to say that Kate Moss is the most recognizable model of all time! As much as we didn’t mean to sound like Kanye right there, Kate has been doing this whole modeling thing for longer than most people hold onto their normal 9 to 5’s, and it obviously started somewhere. One of Kate’s […]
James Franco is a Jack of all trades. The guy is an actor, student, teacher, director and now he’s a visual artist. In order to help kick off the opening of CoSTUME NATIONAL’s Soho location in New York City, Franco created a 40 minute video simply titled “40 Minutes.” The video is based on the […]
