What could be more fun than getting dusted and skating around? For this short video, “Wizard Smoke,” a bunch of powdered skateboarders ride ramps and ledges, leaving colorful clouds in their wake. Watch them chalk up some tricks.
A month after revealing some critically-hated paintings for “No Love Lost,” shock artist Damien Hirst is giving it another try with a new show. Titled “Nothing Matters,” the series of 19 paintings, part of Hirst’s recent return to assistant-free art, features more paintings of skulls alongside triptychs of blood-spattered birds that will likely be as poorly received as the last.

“Nothing Matters,” November 25 – January 30, White Cube, Hoxton Square and Mason’s Yard, London

A trio of aging supermodels I’d like to…friend, stripped naked for iD magazine’s ‘Flesh and Blood’ issue. Shot by photographer Kayt Jones, Claudia Schiffer, Eva Herzigova and Helena Christensen appear mostly nude and still look good doing so, proving that a steady diet of blow and Rice Cakes isn’t so bad for the body after all. The black and white format probably didn’t hurt either. There’s more where those came from, NSFW even. |The Blemish|

Since the late nineties, Alex Fakso has been photographing graffiti, capturing its creation in train yards and subway stations. Many of these gritty images, documenting artists at work across Europe, were published in his book “Heavy Metal.” Now, the Italian photographer, a writer himself, has a new exhibition. “Underground,” opens this weekend at Luxembourg’s Extrabold gallery and will feature a showcase of his most recent creative action shots.
“Underground,” November 28 – December 24, Extrabold, Luxembourg
(AIDS is abbreviated as SIDA in Spain and other countries) Yeah! Take that, you, you fucking pussy-ass syndrome you! You may have killed 25 million+ people worldwide so far, with no cure in sight, but, but FUCK YOU! Next time I diddle my girlfriend, I’m gonna put a condom on my middle finger and jam it WAY up her cooter just to show you, you FUCK. Then, she’s gonna slide a condom-sheathed finger up my ass—without lube! That’ll show you, you…condition.
