It hasn’t been a great couple of years for Kanye West. One, his mother unfortunately passed away due to complications from plastic surgery. Secondly, his relationship with his then fiance was broken up. Then last, and the most recent, his backlash for interrupting Taylor Swift during her VMA acceptance speech (which I believe he was wrong for doing but he was just stating what everyone thought). With all these negative bullets being shot at him, they still haven’t been able overshadow his musical talent. His first album ,The College Dropout, appears in the top 10 of nearly every “best music of 2000′s” list and his latter 3 aren’t far from it. So with that, I want to say thank you Mr. West for giving us some great music this decade and I can’t wait to hear what’s in store for the next.

It’s a bit unsettling to realize that in 20 years or less, the events that are happening today will someday be published(or texted) to a book (our brain). Luckily for us French artist Stéphane Massa-Bidal has designed several covers of books that will be very useful for the youth of 2030 for reading (for getting images scanned into their brain for later recollection).

Visually these portraits (all created by the art of dot painting) are astounding. The fact that every line in itself is a pixel shows the dedication and detail that Alberto Grillasca put into each painting. Branded.

Still have never read the book, but the movie looks interesting.

Jerkin’ has officially exploded. Not too long ago it was an underground thing that only LA kids and youtube followers knew about , but not thanks to the New Boyz “You’re a Jerk” (btw that junk is being played every 10 minutes in ATL) the Power Ranger$, Jinc, Pink Dollaz, and all the “founders” of jerking have become mini-celebrities. LA Weekly decided to wide the wave and shoot a sort of documentary about the new West Coast culture.

The Sartorialist has definitely been an inspiration for me and a lot of others. Now  you can carry around The Sartorialist everywhere you go. It’s avaliable for pre-order at Amazon.com and will officialy hit store August 12th. Check out the satorialist website at thesartorialist.blogspot.com.
