Fashion: Kelly Tunstall in 7X7
Tuesday, 19 June 2012 /// Written by Trippe
Street Style Report: Local Artist Kelly Tunstall Shows Us Four Spring Looks, in Presidio Heights. <-- You may recognize Kelly Tunstall's artwork from her mermaid murals at Bar Crudo. Or maybe you've come across her work at a local gallery. I first saw her artwork years ago, at 111 Minna, and was instantly charmed. Her whimsical figures and enchanting use of color make her artwork distinct and easily lovable.
I later met Kelly at a party in the Mission, and went gaga over her green Dries Van Noten pumps. It's no surprise that the creator of such lovely pieces of art would have an incredible sense of style, too.

Bill Cunningham New York
Wednesday, 09 November 2011 /// Written by Trippe
80+ year old NYC based street fashion photographer and icon Bill Cunningham is an interesting character who still buzzes about New York City by bicycle making fashion shows and society soirees for the NYTimes. The film, "Bill Cunningham New York", documents the thoughtful/ matter-a-fact nature of the man who believes fashion isn't about celebrity and glamour but about finding beauty in a harsh world.
We highly recommend this honest portrayal of a man whose life's work isn't about money but about following your heart's desire and truely being yourself, working hard continuing to do what you love. The film is a wonderful portrait of an honorable man and well worth checking out (Netflix streams it, if you go that route).
Watch the film "Bill Cunningham New York"

No Layout
Friday, 20 May 2011 /// Written by Trippe
We meant to post this great site months ago when we first got the email. Well, you read, but nolayout.com is an awesome website where you can view a bunch of art and fashion zines online. Looks great.
It's Daniel from Faund magazine, you probably don't remember but you did a quick link a few years a go and it was very meaningful for the consequent events. From your post we receive a stupid angry letter from a New York illustrator insulting us, we used her e-mail as a cover for the next issue, the magazine kept spreading, and I'm now working in NY thanks to how Faund got known.
I wanted to present my new project: No Layout is a fully readable library for independent publishers, focusing on art books and fashion magazines. It is meant as a support for printed publications, allowing users to flip through content on any screen without downloads or apps. www.nolayout.com
We worked on relations with publishers and we have more than 100 publishers joining the platform, from small fanzines to established magazines such as Fantastic Man. -Daniel Pianetti

Love Land Invaders by Lagoi & Lace
Thursday, 07 October 2010 /// Written by Trippe
This may be one of our favorite items we've posted in some time. Just love it. Enjoy.
 |
About "Lagoi & Lace"
Ralph Lagoi and Kate Lace are the artist duo behind "Lagoi & Lace". While studying art and photography at the Academy of media Arts in Cologne where they graduated with honors in summer 2010, they soon decided to combine their various strengths (photography, design, art direction and styling) to cherish and celebrate the power of beauty and fashion.
About the "Love Land Invaders"
Japan's stunningly decorated love hotel rooms are the impact zone of the "Love Land Invaders". They conquer these quirky and marvelous rooms with their playful visual lust. They strike iconic poses and seem to own a vast collection of unique fashion objects. It appears as if you're observing some intimate moments of energetic superheroes...
In order to find the perfect locations to unleash such concentrated passion we headed out for the most extraordinary love hotel rooms we could find in Osaka and the Kansai area.
The "Love Land Invaders" collection, which we designed and constructed beforehand, consists of masks, glasses, shields, armory, jewelry, customized clothes and ribbons, which are reaching out like demanding tentacles. After putting on these pieces we transformed into "Miss Takehito Quadruple", "Mister Hyde Dobuita Speerträger", "Mr. Seiuchi Sivuch", "Shika Shika Chan" and "Miss Ayanami Oenshi". Each of these characters represents a certain aspect of beauty (the beauty of dark elegance, the beauty of a gentleman, the beauty of play, the beauty of wilderness, the beauty of pink). The "Love Land Invaders" express an idea we call luxurious pop. In this project luxury can be found in the aesthetic quality of the design, for example by using glossy materials, sculptural shapes and vibrant colors. Luxury can also mean giving oneself the freedom to explore your desires and fantasies and creating fitting worlds. For us pop describes the idea of bringing diverse inspirational sources into a fresh mix to create emotionally and visually strong images. The idea of luxurious pop was our guiding light while creating the "Love Land Invaders". |

Whole Foods Rips Off Corey Arnold?
Tuesday, 18 June 2013 13:57
Tucker Nichols emailed over this Whole Foods poster (below right) which looks a lot like one of Corey Arnold's photos (bottom left). Coincidence? Where they inspired by Corey's photo? Did Corey actually shoot the photo? Who knows and Corey is fishing for salmon right now (like this), so we can't ask him to find out.
Wait, on this Instagram, Corey Arnold writes "Ripped off!", so we guess that's your answer.
Whole Foods highly inspired by a Corey Arnold photo. Ripped off?

Homemade Tattoos (+How To)
Friday, 14 June 2013 10:00
Yeah, bad tattoos are basically a bummer, right? But they're also pretty much a rite of passage for bored and disenfranchised-feeling teenagers the world over. At least it was for about 95% of the people I know. Going to a reputable tattoo shop and getting a wizard or unicorn drilled into your lower back is totally fine, but nothing really takes the place of sitting around with a bunch of friends and some beers, enthusiastically taking turns poking each others' arms full of bad ideas-which actually is fun at any age.

Tuesday, 04 June 2013 14:00
Wonder if our old emails with Banksy are worth a few thousand dollars. It seems everything the dude touches is worth a million dollars these days! Nutty and much deserved.
A disputed Banksy graffiti artwork removed from a gritty London neighbourhood has sold for approximately $1.1 million US at auction. The provocative Slave Labour (Bunting Boy) sold at a private auction held by concierge firm The Sincura Group at the London Film Museum on Sunday, according to Bloomberg news service.

These days New York-native multimedia artist, Michael Alan, has been incredibly active artistically in the big city. Between staging hours-long Living Installations at the New Museum and other DIY spaces, exhibiting his drawings and paintings in group exhibitions and hosting an unusual solo show in the home of his mother, Alan proves that there is no rest for the wicked.

| Wendell McShine @Fifty24SF
Wendell McShine (lives in Mexico City, from Trinidad) opened his newest show, Raccoon's Law, at Fifty24SF on Saturday night. ARYZ was a tough act to follow, but McShine held his own in the space... With a combination of a mural, a video, and both drawings and mixed-media works on paper, the diversity of this solo show was impressive. The Raccoon drawings were especially attractive as the way he executed them looked like they actually had fur coming off the page, and you can only imagine how soft it would be to touch. I was lucky to see his work in person through this show, and I hope to encounter more in the future.

| The Tornatos in Moore, OK by Justin Clemons
I got there the day after the tornado came through. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. My mind just could not grasp what my eyes were seeing. It was just too much to take in, too much to process. So, I did what comes naturally and took images. It sort of helped me separate from the chaos and helped me focus.
