Here are some pictures from the latest solo show by Speedy Graphito! His use of imagery is insane and the twist he puts on them! The show included a jumbled up spiderman face, massive iPhone shaped canvases, and a piece that portrayed the face of Mona Lisa out of used spray cans! Go Check out the show at the Fabien Castanier Gallery in Studio City !

After countless delays and an endless amount of rumors, it looks like the fourth season of Arrested Development will be releasing in almost no time at all. Set to hit Netflix on May 26, the latest season will have all episodes available at once via the online media platform. Unlike past seasons, however, each episode from season four will focus around one particular character, showing the character’s activities since the end of the third season nearly seven years ago.

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are easily one of my favorite contemporary bands. Their album Its Blitz caught my attention and it’s still in a heavy rotation to this day. And now they’ve released a new song/video combo that I’m really digging. Their new single, Mosquito may be some extended metaphor for the parasitic approach opportunists have when approaching those who have something of interest, be it talent or money. Orrrr it could just be a song based on simple observation of mosquito activity. In either regard, it’s creative as hell. And the video is simply amazing…like, literally, it’s simple, but I’m amazed at how much visually stimulating activity was established in such a restricted scene. Not to mention that the artwork for the song is extremely vibrant and eye-catching. Check the video out below…

Today must be the day of the retros. It was recently announced that Jordan Brand will be re-releasing the Air Jordan 1 “Black Toe” this May. I’m starting to lose count of how many times they’ve actually released this shoe, but it sells out every…single…time. It’s kind of like they’re printing money. Anyway, check for these to drop at your local Jordan Brand retailer May 25th.

We hope you take the time today, after you get yourself a little something from the Hot Rod Sale, to wish your mom a happy mother’s day and spend some time with her even though this holiday may have been initiated as a marketing ploy for greetings card companies. It’s still important that you make your loved ones feel loved; just take Kristin Wiig’s SNL commercial for 1-800-FLOWERS.com for example

Here’s a little something for all of you photographers:

“With the resurgence in retro styling inspiring its design and pro-level specs driving its internal mechanics, the PEN E-P5 is Olympus’ latest Mirco Four Thirds Digital Camera making headlines across the industry.

It’s been almost two years since Olympus has released an upgrade to their E-P3 – which seems like a lifetime these days with the way technology changes – and they pretty much decided to go back to the drawing board with this one, reworking the control layout into one with a more traditional look as well as streamlining the custom functions.

Olympus also decided to integrate QR codes in with their Wi-Fi set-up instead of NFC, making connecting another device literally a snap, while also upgrading the AF system, the image-stabilization system, adding a tiltable touch screen, and a host of other photo goodies. Overall, the E-P5 looks nice and performs even better.”
