Shepard is always one to do good, and this print for Haiti is a perfect example.
Make you sure you do your bit…
This print was made for www.artistsforpeaceandjustice.com. This is a collaboration with Studio Number One’s Cleon Peterson, Casey Ryder and Shepard Fairey. Photography by Tao Ruspoli. All proceeds of the sale of this print go to Haiti.

Banksys documentary “Exit Through the Gift Shop” (trailer below) will be shown at the Sundance Film Festival 2010 in Park City, Utah between the 24th jan and the 30th. The film is shot in the UK and the USA with a running time of 89 minutes. For screening times and more info check the Sundance website. The films website is www.banksyfilm.com and is due to open in UK cinemas on the 5th of March.
John Cooper, director of Sundance, described the film as “one of those films that comes along once in a great while, a warped hybrid of reality and self-induced fiction, while at the same time a totally entertaining experience. The story is so bizarre I began to question if it could even be real … but in the end I didn’t care.”
“I feel bad I won’t be able to shake the filmmaker’s hand and tell him how much I love this film. I think I will shake everyone’s hand that day and hope I hit on Banksy somewhere. I love his work in all forms.”

yup, i’m slow, but we all knew that. pete versus toby, a collective effort who operate out of palestine their boutique/studio/gallery in bondi, put out some new designs before crimbo; PVT NU AQUA, HELLSONG, GRILLSON, GREG EYE & FREE* MADONNA, all available as T’s or singlets.
someone, “a concerned local”, recently offered to put a brick through the window of The Con Artist in Thirroul because they placed the FREE* Madonna singlet in their shop window (news clip from msn below…). a note was popped under the door which read “If the singlet is not removed… you may find some concerned local might put a brick through your window.” looks like pvt win that round in their continual effort to shockingly awaken.
all prints are lovingly screened onto 100% certified organic cotton sourced from Australia, India & Turkey and made in Australia. it’s this kind of commitment to the future health of our planet the needs to be supported and promoted. in their words they are the Nu Australia, mixed children of the future who just don’t care, support what they do…you might just like it.
WearToGetIt recently published an interview with marco zirov, one of the 3 founders, that gives you some background on the label and their thoughts.
Pete Vs Toby is the collaboration of three 20 something artists living the Australian dream. Living and working out of Bondi, these best friends spend their days turning their art into cash by making Certified Organic hand-made clothes. In the early days they would drive down from Byron every Sunday to flog their goods at Bondi markets. After having great success they moved to Sydney permanently and thus Palestine was born.
A friend pointed me in the direction of this site, showing me the anti-theft lunch bags, a must have for anybody who suffers a sandwichless lunch at the hand of a sticky fingered co-worked. The site is the home to creative duo Mihoko Ouchi and Sherwood Forlee, who collectively make up the. Whilst on the site I spotted another of their fine offerings, the Walls Notebook. This little beauty has 80 clean NYC walls (160 pages) for you to scribble on. Be it a black book for throw ups, tags, pieces or just a plain old notebook, it’s definately a nice little coffee table book. Grab yours here for $16.95 USD.
The fourth, annual If You Could exhibition is underway, yeah I know, I slept on this one. The exhibition, If You Could Collaborate is running until 23 January 2010, 12–6pm (open late on 21 January, 12–9pm) exhibited at the A Foundation Gallery at Rochelle School, London E2 7ES. The idea of this project was to push the boundaries of the normal working life of the contributors. There were no briefs, no restrictions on medium and no particular format. Each of the 33 contributors chose a partner to work with, from any profession, discipline or background and set about creating a piece for submission within the generous 12 month deadline. Works range from classic framed pieces to more ambitious, experimental sculpture, film and installation.
Presented alongside the exhibition is an accompanying 312 page catalogue, documenting the process of each of the pieces along with the final piece submitted. The catalogue is published by It’s Nice That and be bought online for £15 (1500 printed).
With the Sixpack SS10 Collection on the horizon (due to drop in February), Sixpack France have put out “Peyote Poem” a video introduction to their yet released SS10 collection.
In the desert, at night, it is cold.
During the day, it’s bright sunny.
The kingdom of a world without any rules.
Adoptive country of all counter-cultures.
Two guides for us in this immensity : Kenneth Anger and Alejandro Jodorowski.
Two beacons in the dark night, for a trip to hell.
