Here’s a BBC documentary on hip-hop, from way back in 1984. Via Paul Mittleman. To be honest, I haven’t watched more than about 5min of it yet but I assume that it’s decent, based on the source.
Another day, another nice artist video to look at. This one features the very talented Jose Parla. Via Arrested Motion.
Since today marks the anniversary of John Lennon’s death, it’s a particularly appropriate (or inappropriate?) time to plug this video by my buddies Junk Science. DJ/producer Snafu comes off extra creepy, and Baje One makes a surprisingly great John Lennon impersonator.
I watched this Korean gangster flick on Netflix streaming recently, and really enjoyed it. It’s from 2006. The English title, A Dirty Carnival, seems a bit clunky to me. It’s a tale about vicious cycles in the underworld – what goes around, comes around, essentially…
Wandering artist Above sent me this video last week. It’s about getting into the spirit of giving. Well actually, he’s decided to one-up the Occupy movement by coming out with a clear statement. It’s a pretty harsh one at that.
An interesting video from T-world about graphic T-shirts. Via Acclaim.
Check out this great video about Brooklyn-based Knife Maker, Joel Bukiewicz from Made By Hand. This is the second video from this site focused on the “handmade movement.”
Here’s a great video about old school sign painting by hand, starring Dan Madsen, aka Dusty Signs. Via Design You Trust.
