ANIMAL’s feature Artist’s Notebook asks artists to show us their original “idea sketch” next to a finished piece. This week, A. Bill Miller talks about his ASCII-based Holoscreen projection piece from his recent “Gridworks” show at TRANSFER Gallery. Currently my sketchbook is really just a series of folder/directories on multiple computers and hard drives. I haven’t had […]
As you’ve probably heard, Supreme is suing Married to the Mob label owner (and ANIMAL friend) Leah McSweeney for $10 million claiming copyright infringement of their signature logo in her “Supreme Bitch” parody design. However, the logo they are suing over hasn’t been federally trademarked. It was only recently that Supreme filed a trademark application […]
When asked to produce some visual accompaniment for Jon Hopkins‘ new album Immunity, biochemist-turned-photographer Linden Gledhill teamed up with art director Craig Ward to create an epic masterpiece of microscopic proportions. The vibrant, abstract visuals created by time-lapsing the biochemical processes of food coloring crystallization — with the help of some video editing — turns […]
Kirin J Callinan’s video for “Embracism” by Cara Stricker might be too much for you. Might be a little too much lanky wet man for you, naked for the occasional strategically placed guitar and FUCK YEAH DATAMOSH. What him glitch himself out. Shout out datamosh music video pioneer Yung Jake. Shout out those cracy sci-fi theatre club kids […]
These are the people that make sure you get to work, safe and relatively on time. It was difficult to snap their portraits, as you may imagine, but I set up a stake-out around the Grand Central and Times Square stops this morning to bring you these photos of subway train conductors. Stand clear of […]

“I’m a little tired,” Tima Radya tells me, smiling. The soft-spoken street artist was up until 3am the night before CutLog New York’s inaugural press opening last night. He was stacking, climbing, stacking his recreation of Stability Figure 1 — a giant pyramid of cards. The cards are riot shields. This is the anonymous Yekaterinburg street artist’s […]
When office colleague Mike Aaron sauntered over to my desk this afternoon and said he had a photo of something “really, really gross” on his iPhone, I assumed it couldn’t be all that bad. After all, I’ve seen lots of nasty things during my 21-year tenure in New York City. Then he showed it to […]
Each week in Sample Wars, we’ll pit two songs which sample the same source material head-to-head against each other, to determine which one rocked the sample better. This week we’re focusing on what’s one of the all-time great loops in my book: Willie Hutch’s 1973 orchestral soul jam “I Choose You,” sampled in UGK and OutKast’s […]
