Despite a conspicuous absence from voter guides, Monty Burns hasn’t given up his mayoral aspirations. The campaign is still hitting the streets, plastering their propaganda over illegal NPA ads in their quest to defeat Mayor Bloomberg’s third-term bid.

Here’s a Simpsons homage that doesn’t involve any colorful culture change. Nearly a dozen Hip Hop stars were rendered as Springfield residents for a new print release by Format magazine. Designed by Moxy Creative, the “No Homer” series features a Coogi-wearing Biggie Smalls, spliff-smoking Snoop Dog and gun-toting Eazy-Z among other cartooned rappers. A group shot of the Hip Hop icons, measuring 11.75 x 15.75 inches, is available for $45 in an edition 100, while individual artist images are selling for $55. |Format|
