THE HUNDREDS X RIME “ADAM” GRAPHIC TEES

As part of their collaboration with TheSeventhLetter crew, The Hundreds’ new graphic tees with Los Angeles legend RIME feature the artist’s signature, colorfully stark style transferred into the streetwear brand’s iconic character. One of the kings of the character, it was a natural progression for the collaboration to move into logo redesign for RIME, while some of the other artists involved - from SABER to REVOK, EKLIPS to EWOK - designed their own style of collaborative tees, which you can check out now.

NEW BLOOD AT THINKSPACE GALLERY RECAP

“New Blood” wrapped at Thinkspace Gallery in Culver City this last weekend, and featured work by some of contemporary and pop art’s biggest names. The concept of the show was a metaphorical torch-passing from the likes of Ron English, Shepard Fairey, and Jonathan Yeo to their apprentices or otherwise promising new artists.

Art collector and great-idea-haver Morgan Spurlock curated the show, in his first curation and best idea since “Super Size Me.” Spurlock conceptualized the idea after becoming friends with Ron English, and pitched the idea to Thinkspace owner Andrew Hosner. The rest was history, as is the show now. But you can catch some of the work in this video made by street art documentarian BIRDMAN.

JUXTAPOZ MAGAZINE ISSUE #136 - STREET ART

Issue #136 of the long-running contemporary and pop art magazine Juxtapoz features a large celebration of street art as it makes what is likely its victory lap in a journey through the limelight. The May 2012 edition the magazine makes a “special examination on the state of public art in 2012” as we transition to a Post-Street Art era. Public art programs such as the LA Freewalls Project and similar programs across the nation set the tone for what can be done with street art, and the value of such projects and the idea of public art in general is the focus of this month’s issue.

Interesting discussions with people all across the board, from festival stakeholders to politicians and all the way through to the artists actually working in these initiatives should make for a great read in this magazine with four limited editions covers by Steve Powers, JR, Swoon and El Mac. Features with Nuart, FAME Festival, Ron English, and Revok and Saber make the art journal worth a purchase for any street art fan here.

THE HUNDREDS X THESEVENTHLETTER PREVIEW - SABER INTERVIEW

The human side of Los Angeles-based graffiti writer Saber is one that he often tries to submerge in his dark and foreboding visuals, while ironically being a major focus in his career full of fights for human rights that should only increase with the birth of his first daughter. The street art collective that he helped create, TheSeventhLetter, is teaming up with innovative street art label and also Los Angeles-based The Hundreds for a collaboration slated to release this June.

A video with Saber’s charismatically pessimistic humor, a dark and grimy studio to match, and commentary on the human condition previews a t-shirt collaboration 22 years in the making through political and cultural transgressions in the city and the world. More details should be available soon.
