After a public uproar over the St. Louis County Police Department’s handling of the Michael Brown protests, Governor Jay Nixon put the Missouri State Highway Patrol in charge of security for the small town. Click through the gallery above for photos of officers from that unit and various other law enforcement agencies currently operating in […]
Sixteen-year-old Lolita Richie has never even heard of “racist space alien” Valeria Lukyanova, she claims. Aspiring to internet fame and anatomy-defying “living doll” aesthetics, “I’m the ultimate vamp woman,” the teenager tells the Daily Mail. And so it begins. Lolita boasts just 40 followers on Russian social network VK page. Her 33-year-old mother, former actress Anya Richi, takes photos of Lolita dressed up in Anya’s old […]
Artist Alex McLeod new series of digital work goes on view at Montreal’s Galerie Trois Points next month. “They are all interior spaces, but I treated them like they were bodies, using things like clouds staircases and gems to stand in for organs,” McLeod tells ANIMAL. See the work above, featuring intestine-like structures in crystalline textures and interior landscapes […]
“Let’s face it. What I’m doing isn’t really vandalism,” Jay Shells tells ANIMAL after a weekend of putting his site-specific Rap Quotes around Philadelphia. “But the questionably legal act of installing signs became trickiest around City Hall and the Liberty Bell where an abundance of bored security guards are waiting to flex on a smart ass like me.” But he got it done.

The crowd had gathered at the QuickTrip to begin its march down West Florissant Avenue. Just before it had left, gunshots had been reported near the QT parking lot. But up until that point, the night — like every other — had been peaceful. For the past eight days, life before midnight in Ferguson was […]
It was at 11:33PM local time when the woman I call my ‘Ferguson fixer’ called my cell phone. Roberta, a mainstay here, had been helping me the last few days in this town, giving me a lift, pointing out people I should know, telling me about the politics, tipping me off when something may be […]
Yesterday, ANIMAL stopped by to preview a massive, building-wide group show at the former 21st Precinct, a few blocks from Gramercy Park. Curated by Outlaw Arts, murals, tags, wheatpaste, stickers and installations filled all four floors of the building, including the stairwells and bathrooms, showcasing some incredible work. Standouts included work from ANIMAL favorites such as GIZ, […]
Ernest Hemingway had a soft spot for six-toed cats. Even after his death, the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum in Key West, Florida is teeming with fifty-five of these furry polydactyls, descended from Snowball, a horny six-toed cat given to Hemingway by a sea captain. Photographer Henry Hargreaves recently travelled to the museum, and despite his allergies, shot regal portraits of […]
Artist Javier Laspiur’s CONTROLLERS series features simple, shallow focus photos of his arms and hands holding video game console controllers from 1983 onward. We also get a decent look into Laspiur’s long sleeve shirt collection. My Modern Met described the composition: Laspiur creates images that are reminiscent of posters. There’s a picture of the controller in the […]
Danish architectural group BIG has proposed an unusual design for “Zootopia,” which will replace the current zoo in Givskud, Denmark. Their concept is to hide humans from the animals, while allowing a more interactive and intimate viewing experience than is usually available to zoo goers. Zootopia will have three areas — representing Asia, Africa and “America.” A four […]
