Year: 2013
Not to be outdone by the folks at the New York Post, the city government unveiled its own snazzy website redesign today–the first new look for NYC.gov in a decade. The old site had the fashion sense of your average City Councilmember: all business, with lots of grays and blacks and nothing to catch the […]
Bike lanes: not a terrorist plot to cause traffic congestion and take away parking spaces from cop cars! The people of New York actually want them, according to a new survey from Transportation Alternatives. Crazy! In fact, 70% of respondents support bike lanes and pedestrian plazas, and believe it or not, it’s not just the two-wheeled […]

This is a Vladimir Putin My Ass Butt Plug imagined by Anya and Mar, in response to Putin’s Gay Purge. In June 2013 Vladimir Putin banned the ‘propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships’.

As part of an exhibition for Berlin’s Art Hack Day — an internet-based nonprofit dedicated to “hackers whose medium is art and artists whose medium is tech” — artists Kim Asendorf, Andreas Nicolas Fischer, Sebastian Schmieg, Anthony Antonellis and Nora […]

Fung Wah and Lucky Star, OGs of the Chinatown bus game, may be returning to the playing field this fall after a months-long absence. The U.S. Department of Transportation ordered the Fung Wah off the road in February of this year after myriad safety violations, and Lucky Star lost its wheels for similar reasons in […]
Shepard Fairey told TMZ this week that if he could change the “Hope” under his iconic Barack Obama poster to something else, he’d use the word “Drones,” so we figured we’d mock one up for him. For the NSA-averse, there’s also the “Yes We Scan” poster from our friends at Nerdcore. Enjoy! (Image: Nate Cepis/ANIMALNewYork) […]
Famous Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei has been pretty busy lately. In addition to releasing a widely talked about heavy metal album and two music videos to accompany it, he designed a few skateboards as well. These three decks are available with either a documentation image from Weiwei’s well-known Sunflower Seeds installation or one of two stills from the […]
