pp will be on my case for the million posts, but its very guido crepax despite the fact that no one can do guido like crepax. that said, he never did animation, or that which i know of. simple idea and it works. animation by mrzyk & moriceau and mathematic . by dd

just in case you were wondering how many b-models does it take to make a video? it’s 18. the incredibly thoughtful lyrics here, rival that of lady gaga’s. sorry. lame! by xy

the art of not blogging
oh child, spare me. everything i love about bill cunningham, is what i hate about scott schuman. they are the opposite poles in the same sector. bill is a spirit, the other pure flesh. bill is about life the other about fame. bill is about grit the other about flash. bill is about art the other about business. bill is about love… bill is humble… bill is light and the rest is darkness. in the end ,it does come to be about who you are as a person and bill is the epitome of all that i love about new york. no offense! when you become famous, you have to be able to take some shit. scott is surely loved and respected by many and i can be the one hater (not sure he can handle that). sorry i see no interest in satorialist or scott’s work nor his fame or how business smart he is. business smartness and fame mean nothing to me, if anything they tell me a bit about who you are and it’s generally not good. that brand is built on pandering to the status quo, not supporting the the fringe that feeds that status quo. when you photograph a bunch of vain editors and models after the shows you too can expect guaranteed traffic. bill just never wanted the attention or the fame or the money. i admire that tremendously. by dd
discodeine & jarvis
found this in our draft section i guess it was never published. better late than never.

boyce & brown: a universe of possibilities
with tatiana cotliar (next). nice clip by ex creative director harrison boyce & director nathaniel brown. you may recall our posts on a similar style of work about a year or so ago, now you can add this to one the mix. with film becoming such an approachable medium and available to so many different disciplines, we are excited about the experimentation and possibilities it holds. something less literal and more poetic awaits us all. by dd

Krishnamurti – The Real Revolution
today’s ultimate irony was that i earnestly attempted to watch this series of a documentary on (not philosopher or religious leader) but ‘thinker’ jiddu krishnamurti while multitasking, doing research, and liking images on tumblr. it’s typical for new york to inflict ADD on its citizens, but i don’t like that excuse. i think i have some work to do. step one, sit through four hours of half-speed musings life, or read some of this. by kl
love, it’s the most important quality a revolutionary must possess –ernesto “che” guevara
after that post on hemingway and castro, i ended up watching the 4 hour IFC film “che” directed by steven soderbergh and starring benicio del toro (who won at the cannes film festival for best actor) as a convincing, despite slightly overweight, ernesto che guevara. the film is in spanish with an english subtitle. it’s the best film i’ve seen on che, and despite it’s high budget production, it retains the grit of the era. love the vintage documentary footage mixed in with the grainy b&w mockumentary footage and the high-def muted color film. with the UN in full swing right now it’s worth a watch just to hear che’s 1965 UN speech. beautifully romantic and idealistic. by xy
