Maya Gold Exhibits New Sand Art

Merging photorealism with the abstract, Maya Gold unveils a series of new paintings inspired by her time near the ocean. Taking a birds-eye perspective, the Israel-based artist’s oil works feature barren beaches dotted only with open umbrellas, scattered shells and the occasional lone figure immersed in some seaside activity. “Wake,” Gold’s solo exhibition of these works, opens October 29th through January 9th at Mike Weiss Gallery, 520 West 24th Street.

Terry Richardson’s ‘F*ck ‘Em’ Photoshoot

Pervy photographer Terry Richardson shot a spread for the latest issue of Supreme’s in-store magazine and not surprisingly, it’s very revealing. Following his photographs of Kermit the Frog, Lou Reed and countless fanboy models for the streetwear brand, Richardson shot Rosa Acostas posing over a “Fuck Em!” carpet with little more than a few carefully branded accessories between her and the camera. |Hypebeast|

Meet the Liberals Responsible for the Rise of Glenn Beck

Have you ever found yourself thinking about Fox News’ own version of P.T. Barnum, Glenn Beck, and wondered to yourself, “Where the hell did this cretin come from?” I mean, haven’t we all? Well, a story in today’s Washington Post sheds some light on that, and it turns out that the people largely responsible for making Beck famous are a Democratic strategist/PR guy who helped Hillary Clinton, Charles Schumer and Eliot Spitzer get elected and his father, the agent who represents Beck.

Kosovo Rebrands Itself As a Bright Young Yellow Utopia

The…what is it, exactly?  A republic? A country? A self-declared independent state? Disputed territory? Well, the..place just launched a new branding TV spot to air on international channels including CNN and the BBC that aims to erase all that nasty fighting and ethic-cleansing from our minds, and replace it with fake puffy clouds and oversized sunshiny puzzle pieces and pretty young people. The spot is tagged: The Young Europeans—Kosovo’s median age is 25.9, the youngest in Europe. Probably cause thousands of Olds got cleansed in the war! Jump for the shiny, happy commercial and its ridiculously sappy song. By BBR Saatchi & Saatchi Tel Aviv; why an Israeli agency, I have no clue. Read more »

Gov. Arnold to California Lawmakers: ‘F*ck You’

Look closely at the first letter of each word on the left margin of this letter sent by Gov. Arnold to members of the California State Assembly. Now, normally, I think this’d be blown off as mere coincidence, but seeing as that the bill in question that Arnold’s referring to here was sponsored by an Assemblyman who once told the governor/action hero to “kiss my gay ass,” there might actually be something to the conspiracy theories. |SF Blog|

Herculean Tool Joe Lieberman Determined to Kill Public Option Health Care Reform

Cock-faced, weasel-y Muppet Joe Lieberman says that he will break with his party to join a possible Republican filibuster on health care reform when it comes up for a vote in the Senate. When asked why he would do such a thing Lieberman said, “I think my colleagues know for a long time that I’ve been opposed to a government-created, government-run insurance company.” Yeah, and I’m sure his stance has nothing to do with the fact that he’s received $3.3 million, yes $3.3 MILLION, in campaign contributions from the insurance/health care industry. So now, in addition to making most people want to punch themselves repeatedly in the genitals at the mere sound of his annoying voice (Remember his HORRIBLE speech at the Republican convention?), Joe Lieberman is going the extra mile to fuck over America in order to suck off the people who help him get elected. Die Joe Lieberman, DIE! |Huff Po|
