Our friends from O.G.-status boutique, True, also contributed their efforts to the Truth1585 cause.
We worked with a handful of the country’s best shops to do messaging shirts centered around the “infamous” tobacco industry. In true street wear culture style, they flipped the existing TRUTH logo with a tagged remix. So smart…so simple. The shirt is available exclusively at True in SF. Peep the video for more information & open your eyes!

We’re still feeling all the positive love from Truth1585. We worked with a handful of the country’s best shops to do messaging shirts centered around the “infamous” tobacco industry. Our friends from Philly, Ubiq, did this dope 8-Ball inspired design. Instead of of a cue ball, it’s made out of ciggy butts. The shirt is available exclusively at Ubiq.

Maurizio Cattelan’s All exhibition at the Guggenheim has been one of the best shows I’ve seen in a while. As I walk up the spiral, I am able to see the satirical story Cattelan has in store from many different angles. With repeating objects, figures in different sizes, Cattelan teases the view to piece the puzzle together and make sense of his narrative.
I was curious about the installation and found this great video which shows a time-lapse of the installation. If you have not already gone to the show, you must do so!
Have you ever wondered how long that bike has been locked outside that building… or when it might disappear? Well Red Peak conducted an interesting experiment for Hudson Urban Bicycles showing a bike locked up in the same spot for 365 days. Check out what happens, and make sure you take notes.
Last year, Red Peak Branding conducted a unique urban experiment for Hudson Urban Bicycles. On January 1, 2011 we chained a fully loaded bike – bells, basket, lights and more – to a post along a busy Soho street. We took a picture of the bike everyday for 365 days, watching it slowly vanish before our eyes. The photos we took were then turned into a daily calendar. We call this project LIFECYCLE: 365 days in the life of a bike in NYC.
Art blog after art blog… things get tedious and boring, same ol’ with a slight twist. And then sometimes you find an artist doing something so special that you need to stop and contemplate what they’ve just thrown at you. Riusuke Fukahori, did just that.
Usually when I see some “fish” as art. I’d write it off for what it is, but this time there was something special that made me stop and actually LOOK. These were not real fish, yet not not just simply painted to look real. These were painted fish that seemed to have dimension and guts.
all photos by Dominic Alves (installation view at ICN Gallery)
Riusuke actually paints the fish layer by layer on resin… now if you can’t quite grasp the craziness of it stop and take a moment to view the short video below .
