Kathe Kollwitz of the Guerrilla Girls tell ANIMAL: “We support all the Occupy groups and that includes Occupy Museums!

Chris Brown found an unlikely ally in Ron English, as confirmed to ANIMAL by Ron English’s wife, Tarssa Yazdani. News of Brown starting a “graffiti movement” of “Breezy Art” heavily hinged upon his association with the artist and surprisingly, it wasn’t invented by his reps. Read more »
The merry yesteryear of NYC taxi passengers getting free, televised therapy or cashing in for guessing “it’s Darth Vader” is over. Nowadays, when cabbies get stabbed by Tea Party-liking bigots and get demonized by the press, the divide between driver and rider is vast. To talk partitions, we flagged down Amir Baradaran, taxi cab video artist and Marina Abramović’s attempted fiance to ask him how and why he’s screening videos of glancing cabbies on Taxi TV.

ANIMAL prison penpal and internet sensation Kari Ferrell wrote us recently, and said she was being sentenced on October 9th. And this time she wasn’t even lying. We contacted the Salt Lake City Correctional Facility and an official told us that she did appear before the judge and a warrant for the forgery charge has been released, but another forgery and issuing bad checks charge was still pending, so it’s likely that she’ll still have to serve a few months. Cake! Update: Make that 9 months, a $1,000 fine and $4,194 in restitution.

Last Friday night, the underground ad-altering artist known as Poster Boy allowed ANIMAL to document his work firsthand. At around 9:40 we entered the Morgan Avenue L train and after a brief survey of the scene, the creative vandal broke out his razor and quickly went to work. His idea was to transform a movie poster for the “Transporter” into the “Deported.” It was interesting how nonchalant he was, only stopping when trains pulled into the station and even then, once he scoped for police, would continue working unabated. And when a shifty gentleman with some puffy chest action—the first indicator of an undercover cop—inspected some of the torn up billboards and approached Poster Boy, asking how he’s doing, the vandal was calm, handling himself accordingly. The minute the guy got on the train, the vandalism resumed. We’ve got some EXCLUSIVE photos of Poster Boy and the first video of him in action after the jump.
