I’m probably shooting myself in the foot for posting this, but Shepard Fairey is releasing an amazing new screenprint this week featuring photography by Glen E. Friedman and signed by all original members of The Bad Brains (as well as Fairey and Friedman). All for the bargain basement price of $120.

While most of the art world is heading to Miami for Art Basil, Jonathan Levine has one of the swankiest artist exhibiting at his gallery for the month of December. Yes, I’m talking about the king of modern cool and tiki style Josh “Shag” Agle. I got the chance to photograph the artist before the opening a few weeks back in a room that was pretty much created to show of his new wallpaper. The only other thing in the gallery was a trio of wooden fish dangling from the ceiling. Pretty surreal. Too bad I didn’t have a wide angle lens with me to catch the full fish.
Graffiti legends Blek Le Rat and Doze Green chat about growth in the counter culture art movement, changes in style, and what the future holds for the scene.
The two were in the middle of prepping for their show at Jonathan LeVine Gallery, opening October 18, 2008. Thanks to the gallery for setting this up.
The film was shot on a Canon G9 point and shoot and edited in iMovie HD.
