Damien Hirst and Supreme are back together again. I love this version of the artist skate deck collaboration at least twice as much as the last work they did together. I had one of those boards for a little bit but it never stuck in my collection.

These ones probably will, big fan of them.

The collection releases in-store in the US on November 19th and online on November 23rd. Japan will see a release on November 21st.

UNPLUG: The Painting: The UNPLUG painting and its companion blog are simple reminders that my existence is a modest part of a greater whole. I do not seek an entirely unplugged life but I do seek a soul enriching connection with our little planet’s natural wonders.

I could use a little more of that.

Artist and designer Eric Testroete, in his own words: I made this as my costume for Halloween 2009. It was kind of inspired by big-head mode seen in videogames. I really wanted to get the faceted geosphere look with wireframe.

So awesome.  Check out his site for more photographs and more information on how he made it.

Well, I’m impressed. Thanks Ben!

Legendary New York street artist Craig “KR” Costello customized a Mini Cooper S with his signature KRINK aesthetic. The car was shown today at Erste Liebe Bar in Hamburg, Germany. A vernissage takes place at Vicious Gallery on October 31st.

Absolutely beautiful images based on something called Delaunay triangulations, which maximize the minimum angle of all the angles of the triangles in the triangulation; they tend to avoid skinny triangles.

This was created using a scripting plug-in for Illustrator by Jonathan Puckey–  he calls his work Delaunay Rasters.  Check them out, the faces are so great.

Give him some recycled cardboard, paper bag, along with some glue and acrylic paint, and artist Mike Leavitt could create just about anything, including the replica sneakers above.

You can pop by the Fuse Gallery at 93 Second Avenue in NYC to see them.

Easily some of the most unsettling photographs I’ve seen in a very long time– but oddly important to spread around. Artist and photographer Chris Jordan always nails the point.

These photographs of albatross chicks were made just a few weeks ago on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking.
To document this phenomenon as faithfully as possible, not a single piece of plastic in any of these photographs was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. These images depict the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world’s most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent.

This is sickening. Something needs to be done about dumping in the oceans. Via QBN

Incredibly great piece by Stephane Vigny. Via Magic Realism

My paint throwing pal eepmon has just recently had his works installed at the Canadian branch of Japanese agency firm Dentsu.

Spanning 3 x 10.6 feet wide, eepmon’s work installed around Dentsu Canada’s exterior new office is truly realized in this proportion as every bit of detail is exposed– especially his Citylights series.

Called the “Dentsu Outdoor Gallery” (D.O.G.), this new gallery initiative is designed to feature Canadian artists from a broad range of disciplines including graffitists, mixed-media artists, illustrators, street artists, photographers and visual artists.

Way to go dude! More pictures after the jump…

If you’re in LA between October 21st and December 6th, you should pop by The Standard Hotel (either downtown or in Hollywood) to see the crazy and weird installation/trailer by artist Marilyn Minter entitled Green Pink Caviar. Bizzare, and yet bizarrely awesome.

Okay, I have absolutely no idea what this is (and I don’t speak Russian), but it’s amazing work by Korean artist Jin Young Yu.
