ANIMAL has been hot for Lepos: The Primary Invasion clips since the start, so we talked to the man behind these vintage video game x graffiti mash-ups after he dropped this 6th reel featuring CES and REVOK in the LES. Lepos‘ ten-year writing run ended in 2003, but he still has love for graffiti. So, what does CES think […]

Ooh. That’s classy. Check these sleek, faux-Penguin book covers created by London graphic designer Sharm Murugiah. Tarantino’s screenplays have never looked more Penguin. Ooh, Quentin, you’re so literary. Wasn’t his screenplay for From Dusk ‘Till Dawn like three pages and then “[vampire fight]” ? Enjoy Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill : Vol.1 & 2, […]

Here’s a small bunch. Ah, nostalgia. Check back every Friday for a new photo essay. See the photos in the gallery above. […]

Arizona-born photographer Mike Brodie left home at 17 to photograph what is now press-dubbed “the train-hopping and squatter subculture,” although, that sounds rather silly, really. It’s not a “subculture.” It’s the way these people live. Always moving. Never stopping. Check out Brodie aka Polaroid Kid’s book A Period of Juvenile Prosperity, out March 25th. But I […]

We stopped by the Bowery mural earlier today to check on the progress. CRASH told us that the mural should be completed by Saturday. There were only a few people hanging around — all either CRASH’s assistants or photographers. Enjoy! (More photos in the gallery.) (Photos: Aymann Ismail/ANIMALNewYork) […]

This is a pretty girl. Her face is bursting with geometry, folding out on itself, blooming outwards, sporing delicate mutations… another eye, another lip, another eye, another lip… Photographer Alma Haser‘s Cosmic Faces series is contra-magical surrealist. After taking portraits of her subjects, she prints and prints and prints their faces, constructing complex origami structured mirroring and distorting their […]

Inspired by Liz Magic Laser’s artistic direction of transparency for the Armory Show, here are our photos of the actual people who go to this prestigious art fair to look at art… sans said art.
