I recently stumbled upon this seriously amazing artist duo, Mildred & Pacolli. Their work is AWESOME! I love it. They recently had an exhibition at the Lower Haters gallery in San Francisco called WE ARE US. You should check out some of their work!

Mr. W is my favorite commercial. It is really quite clever. I won’t spoil it for you so watch for yourself!

Zhang Xiao, a Chinese freelance photographer, knows just how to grip the viewer’s attention. Incredibly nostalgic, and dream-like, these photos have a way of keeping themselves in our thoughts. I especially enjoyed his series entitled: They I, They II, and They III.

Artists Ralph Lagoi & Kate Lace’s recent series entitled “Love Land Invaders,” is a portfolio of fashion, art, and “luxurious pop” set in some of Japan’s extraordinary love hotels. I feel like I am peeping in on some superhero’s intimate moment!

Madrid based illustrator, Jose Manuel Hortelano-Pi, creates these wonderfully detailed pen and watercolor works. I for one especially enjoy his black and white drawings (like the above.)

Sorry I’ve been lagging on posting the rest of my photos from the recent Italian excursion but better late than never!
One of the perks of going to Europe is seeing graffiti on trains. Since I missed the golden days of NYC subway graffiti, seeing painted trains is the next best thing. People always come back from Europe telling me how all the trains are covered with graffiti from end to end. I was ready to document millions of trains with many gigs on my camera, but the reality was that for every ten trains I saw I was lucky to find one piece. I’m not sure how it is in other countries but it looks like the the buff is catching up with the Italian nighttime beautification squads. Since we had such a hectic time traveling from town to town I didn’t have too much time on my hands to hunt down trains but here’s what went by me while hanging at the station.

I’m not sure if Uffie is a rapper, a pop artist, or permanently drunk, but she is interesting. Here’s a video of her walking down an endless trippy hallway while barely mouthing her lyrics. The best part is at the end where she runs with her back at you like a toddler.

You may feel a feeling of familiarity in Toronto based painter Odran Edward’s work. Odran is inspired by the classical spiritual sculptures, and explores them by creating psychedelic-impressionist paintings of them.
