Jerard here from Chase's crew. I love a good road trip. There's nothing like the freedom and discovery of hitting the road with no real destination, no particular schedule and nothing but miles as your mission. I've driven the blue highways across the whole of America almost twenty times. Four times on a motorcycle. In all of those miles, there are some memories that fade into the blur... read more ›

30 years ago, a snapshot kicked of a lifelong friendship. A group of guys inadvertently started a photo tradition by taking a snapshot of themselves as teenagers during a vacation in 1982. For three decades, they have returned to the same spot to take the same portrait every 5 years. They were 19 years old when the first photo was taken.... read more ›

Conventional thinking declares that real art is “pure” and free of commercial motivations - that business corrupts art.

Some Friday fun to inspire your weekend: Reinvent the mundane. Im always impressed with how street artists can transform mundane objects into a fertile canvas.

This reinvention of a seemingly innocuous wall, either in a highly economical manner or with painstaking precision and effort, tilts our perspective. Surprise... read more ›

Shepard Fairey has a new installation in London's Pleasure Gardens. The 10-story mural is part of the London Pleasure Garden's vision of emulating the 17th and 19th Century tradition of 'communal spaces where people from all walks of life converged to listen to music, admire paintings, stroll, drink, flirt and immerse themselves in the culture.' As the world's attention turns to London for the 2012 Olympic Games (July 27-Aug 12) the longtime cultural capital of... read more ›

Summer-time wildfires are a fact of life in the dry climates of the Rocky Mountain state. However, the conditions in Colorado this summer have brought record breaking wildfires. There are currently three major fires burning at once. The High Park, Waldo Canyon and Flagstaff fires have consumed, by some estimates, over 100,000 acres and close to 600 homes. Devastating. The photography coming out of Colorado is powerful.... read more ›
