Porn: It Gets Pretty Weird Sometimes, Pt. 9
Website. Thanks to DGSF Justin, via As-Found. It ain’t new, but I figured it cannot be ignored. Some of the fan erotica on the site evokes the fetish:
“You look great,” Steve said, having taken in Kim’s luscious boytaur muscle bod, which he’d decked out perfectly in crisp four-legged jeans and a tight black tank. He [...]
Talia Chetrit
Cliff already mentioned that we don’t pimp photography very often, but Talia Chetrit takes photos of things like cubes, primary colors, triangles, grayscales, the electromagnetic spectrum, … like, what? “Rainbow” (above, right), is on view at 3rd Ward until tomorrow (3/28). It’s hard to see in the image, but there’s a little rainbow reflected, [...]
Anti-EmoKid Rage
Like the Jets vs. The Sharks, but better. Apparently Mexicans are attacking emokids:
A bizarre wave of mob emo-bashings is sweeping across Mexico. The movement is being generated on message boards and social networking sites by non-emo youth who highly dislike like the emo look and attitude.
The spark came first in Queretaro on March 7. An [...]
Ilkka Halso
DG doesn’t do a whole lot of photography, but these, by Ilkka Halso, hit home because I’m fascinated by the process of tending nature on an industrial scale. Via Design Boom. Some other goodies:
Name That Trend: Star Wars Art
Is it coincidence that one of John Powers‘ pieces for his Empire show (closing at Virgil de Voldere March 29) is called “Spiral Jedi“? Or that Alexander Reyna (at SCOPE) includes Storm Troopers in his work “How Bad Do You Want To Be Good” and other Stars Wars machines in “BETA“? Or that Cliff [...]
Glossolalia, Pt 2: Dan Miller
And here is Dan Miller, about whom very little seems to be known, doing his repetitive thing.
Glossolalia, Pt 1: Bruce Conner
Strolled up to MoMA today to check out “Glossolalia: Languages of Drawing.” I love people who are stuck in their own heads, so an exhibition devoted to the “phenomenon of speaking a language that is undecipherable to all but the speaker” sounded pretty awesome. There were some familiars, such as Raymond Pettibon and Henry Darger, [...]
1950’s Sci-Fi Illustrations
Sad space man. Via a Flickr group (via Make). The group is a mixed bag, but a few by Galbraith O’Leary and John Polgreen are very nice. You can really see where Neo Rauch—one of my favorite painters—got his aesthetic from. Which makes me wonder: Will there ever be a fine-artist from the future, a [...]
“Hillarack”
And it’s now officially a trend. Image above: The cover of this week’s New Republic. Previously on DG: Here and here.
