So you want a piece of street art without the inconvenience of chiseling out and towing giant chunks of cinder block walls? Greg Allen rustled up this massive, rickety 3-bedroom fixer-upper in Philadelphia. Its wall is one giant Keith Haring mural. The house is going for $100,000. Thrifty.
This holiday season, brighten up your dong by wrapping it in red, blue and yellow. Keith Haring Foundation and Proper Attire teamed up again to bring you arty condoms in color — the festive way not to get HIV. Also, they might get you laid.

Unless you have a strong tolerance for gross/corny, looking at a plastic Jeff Koons getting nasty isn’t recommended for any age group. To see it at Canada’s National Gallery, you’ll need ID proving you’re 18 or older. Read more »
