Popagandist and fine artist with street cred Ron English sent us his suggestion for replacing the now infamous and disassembled ad targeting black women who love abortions via this altered image. I wonder how this one would poll in Soho.
We now enter into the third round of preview images from Tristan Eaton’s soon to be released book 3D Art.

Artists Oleg Vorotnikov and Leonid Nikolaev of Voina were finally released on bail until a future court date where they will be tried for their “crimes.” In an interview with Radio Freedom, Oleg says that Voina actions will continue, that he isn’t afraid of jail and that many of his fellow inmates are now inspired to do some art activism of their own when they get released.
Charlie Sheen interviewer and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones says he’s sick of Glenn Beck stealing all his content and repackaging it with a touch of extra crazy on Fox News.

A little before 5PM today, NASA lit the fuse to the flying bombs used to blast the space shuttles into space and they worked!
