I’ve walked past this mural on 2nd Street just east of Bowery on my way home a bunch of times, but for whatever reason, it finally caught my eye last week. And wouldn’t you know it, the guy who made it has a super sweet website full of amazing artwork! Sebastian Wahl is originally from Stockholm, but now works out of a studio in the South Bronx. Using a resin based technique, he creates psychedelically super-charged mandalic inspired collages.
Artist David Jien showed up to the B/D office last week to show off some of his new work, and to have a chat about his new book.
Christopher Schreck‘s photos have such a cool feel they almost seem as if you were dreaming when you see them. I don’t know if i’m dreaming or not now!
Irma Gruenholz creates charming illustrations out of clay. Treat yourself to some afternoon clay delight.
Are you ready for love? Are you prepared for savage, unbridled, intense, ultra mega romance? Then you might be suave enough to handle this “one of a kind way to spend the evening.” Photographer Robbie Augspurger (who was featured in Book 3) sent us a DVD of The Original Video Pizza. Needless to say, Ziggy and I were excited to enjoy “the soothing sound of sizzling” in a pizza-filled hour of pure retro rawness. The DVD case is just as amazing as the actual video, featuring a quote from Rope McCord, who simply states that he loves pizza movies. Not only does Video Pizza add “the perfect ambience to any party experience” but also, there are “no pizza boxes to clean up” and “no waiting for it to be ready”. The party of a lifetime is waiting for you… after the jump.

Alva is a seasoned veteran, having worked for 25 years as a photographer for many publications like GQ, Elle and Vogue. Get mesmerized by Alva’s erotic surrealism!
