USA Network Character Approved Awards Shepard Fairey video
Shepard is everywhere these days. This video profile is for USA Network’s first ever “Character Approved Awards” which honor “individuals from a cross-section of creative disciplines who are positively influencing American culture”. This video was made by Henry Alex Rubin (the guy that directed Murderball), and might be the best quality Shepard Fairey interview you have seen.

Art and music have always been intertwined. Whether it be Jay-Z including one of Murakami’s paintings in his music video “Blue Magic,” KAWS collaborating on an album cover with Kayne West, Good Charlotte’s Joel Madden collecting Luke Chueh paintings, or Dave Cooper creating a music video for Danko Jones, the examples seem endless.
One of these intersects will open next week with the “World on Fire” show at the Pacific Electric Lofts in LA where many well-known artists in the Low Brow and/or Contemporary Art genre were asked to paint portraits of even more famous music stars. In honor of the Grammy Awards opening on Feb. 8th, the show was curated by Kris Lewis, Justin Giarla (Shooting Gallery) and sponsored by Will.i.am with the auctioned off works as well as prints benefiting the Pea Pod Foundation.

Members of the Los Angeles graffiti crew MTA busted.
The LA Times has an update on the “tagging” arrests that people started talking about this morning:
Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies today arrested at least eight alleged members of the notorious Metro Transit Assassins tagging crew, some of whom are believed to be responsible for a several-blocks-long “MTA” tag in the concrete Los Angeles River bed that authorities say will cost millions of dollars to remove.
The arrests occurred during a series of early-morning raids centered in the Hollywood area. Among those detained for a parole violations is a famous tagger whose work “SMEAR” has has won acclaim in the art community.
Those arrested were booked on suspicion of vandalism, drug possession, narcotics for sales, weapons possession and other parole violations, officials said
“These individuals are responsible for tags not only in Los Angeles but Las Vegas and San Francisco,” said Sheriff’s Cmdr. Dan Finkelstein, who is chief of the Metropolitan Transit Authority police. “The Army Corps of Engineers estimates that removing the “MTA” tag from the riverbed alone will cost $3.7 million."
Cleaning graffiti from the river is far more expensive than cleaning other areas. Officials use high-pressure water spray to remove the toxic paint.
But hazardous-materials crews must then dam and capture all the paint and water runoff to prevent it from getting into the river. The crew did an additional $20,000 worth of damage to transit vehicles and facilities. Finkelstein said the Los Angeles River “MTA” tag, in a vast industrial district east of downtown between two rail yards, took about 400 gallons of paint — 300 gallons white and 100 gallons black. “It took them four nights to do it,” he said.
The three block letters cover a three-story-high wall and run the length of several blocks between the 4th Street and 1st Street bridges. The tagging crew, which is also known as “Melting Toys Away” and “Must Take All,” began about the time the transportation agency began using the MTA letters. Investigators say they have statements, including some on video, that implicate some of the crew members in the enormous tag.
To grasp how HUGE this tag is, watch this video.
Our thoughts go out to these guys. Let's hope they don't throw the book at them too hard. They should just leave it, it's like free advertising for the Transit Authority.Members of the Los Angeles graffiti crew MTA busted.

The snow wont stop coming down. So to keep things hot I give you Lisa Dergen. And since its the Super Bowl this weekend I figured one more hot sportscaster babe. Good luck to the Arizona Cardinals and Kurt Warner !!!!
Lisa Dergan is as hot as sportscasters get. There are none hotter, or more willing to take it all off for her fans. Getting a break in 2001, Lisa was hired for a weekend sports show on L.A.’s KCBS. She then joined FOX Sports in 2002, gaining notable interviews with everyone from Tiger Woods to John Elway. But more importantly, she’s a former St. Pauli Girl, was Playboy’s Playmate of the Month for July ‘98, and she’s been in special editions of the magazine six times. Beat that!

MINDstyle's Hazel Minis by Kathie Olivas in Silver, Red & Blue
Collectors have made MINDstyle's Scavengers mini-fig series (1 & 2) by Kathie Olivas one of the hottest in recent memory. Perhaps the hottest of all is the Two-Faced hazel. The original black chase from S1 is in high-demand and currently commands prices north of $150 if you're lucky enough to find one.
To add even more excitement to the hunt, MINDstyle and Kathie Olivas have recently dropped three special Hazel minis -- silver, blue and red. Each edition is available through its own way. The Silver Hazel Mini edition will be available exclusively from Kathie via circusposterus.com as part of a special Book set.
The Red Hazel Mini is a friends and family edition, given out to celebrate Chinese New Year and is not for sale (NFS). "It's our way to say thanks to fans and friends who have made the MINDstyle's Scavengers mini figures series a huge success," stated Emi Uchiki (MINDstyle's Relations Manager). " The Red Hazel will also be available to Art Toy Society (ats) members with renewal and to all new members. If you would like to join the ATS, please email info[at]mindstyle[dot]com. Finally, we're pleased to reveal as a special bonus and thank you, the Red Mini Hazels will be randomly packed-in with the 9" Two-Faced Hazel FDR figures which were sold through Vinyl Pulse Exclusives and will be shipping shortly.
The Blue Hazel Mini is available as randomly packed-in chase figures (1 in four) with both the Asian and European editions of the 9" Two-Faced Hazels. So that's two opportunities to score the Blue Hazel mini for free (no additional cost). The Asian edition is currently available from retailers in Asia. The European edition will be released through select MINDstyle EU retailers in late spring and later online through Cardboard Spaceship.

N.A.S.A COVER ART CREATED BY SIZZLING HOT ARTISTS CD TO BOW WITH FIVE INTERCHANGABLE COVERS IN PACKAGE SHEPARD FAIRY, MARCEL DZAMA & MARK GONZALES AMO
The cross-cultural collaboration of N.A.S.A.’s debut album The Spirit of Apollo (Feb 17, 2009 on Anti-) has been passionately carried over to the album artwork. Each album will contain artwork for five interchangeable covers by popular artists from varied backgrounds and cultures.
The artists who contributed covers include:
Shepard Fairey. Los Angeles-based artist and graphic designer Shepard Fairey recently gained international prominence through his iconic imagery of Barack Obama (which subsequently graced the cover of TIME Magazine). Fairey’s cover utilizes his distinctive graphic style to address the themes of money, capitalism, war and various other upbeat global issues of the day.
Sage Vaughn. Los Angeles-based artist Sage Vaughn started out as a graffiti artist and has become one of the most respected painters in the contemporary art scene in
Los Angeles. Vaughn’s collage for the cover of The Spirit of Apollo deftly incorporates a disco ball, rockets, seemingly drunken astronauts and a religious Spaniard.
The Date Farmers. The Date Farmers (Carlos Ramirez and Armando Lerma of the Coachella Valley) artwork echoes their Mexican-American heritage rooted in California pop culture. Their paintings, collages and three-dimensional sculptures contain elements influenced by graffiti, Mexican street murals, traditional revolutionary posters, sign painting, prison art and tattoos, all elements present in their cover for N.A.S.A.
Marcel Dzama. The Canadian artist known for small-scale ink and watercolor drawings of human figures, animals, and imaginary hybrids. In addition to creating iconic covers for such musical artists as Beck, They Might Be Giants and The Weakerthans, Dzama’s visual art has been praised throughout the world. By signing onto the N.A.S.A. project by contributing a cover Dzama’s reach may finally expand into space.
Mark Gonzalez. A former professional skateboarder and artist, Gonzalez is known in the skateboarding world as the pioneer of modern street skateboarding. Gonzalez has designed skateboards and clothing, and his original art has been shown in galleries around the world. Gonzalez chose an aquatic theme for his contribution to N.A.S.A. – we can only hope that there are fish on Mars.
All of the cover artists have contributed to The Spirit of Apollo’s animated music video project, which pairs these artists with animators to create music videos for songs on the record. The first such video, featuring the art of Shepard Fairey, was released digitally in late 2008 and can be seen here:
Shepard Fairey also designed the first official poster for The Spirit of Apollo, using graphical themes and images from the video for “Money.”
We’re not finished, N.A.S.A. will be launching two skateboard decks to commemorate the record release. A limited edition deck for Girl Skateboards will feature art by
The Date Farmers, and deck brand Chocolate will be designing a N.A.S.A. deck with their in-house design team. Both skateboard decks will be available in skate shops by street date and will include Mark Gonzalez-designed sticker/download cards – which will allow buyers to download the entire album.
