Last week, iCNN “reported” that the Gagosian Gallery is going to exhibit the work of former president George W. Bush. The dogs. The naked bathroom lamentations. Etc.

You never get to see the bottoms of skateboards, so we asked these skaters around Chelsea Piers and Times Square to flip their boards over. Check out the stickers, the tags, the scratches and the gashes that tell a story. Shred. Check back every Friday for a new photo essay. See the photos in the gallery […]

It’s good to know that visual artist/wooshy-horse-shepard Nick Cave has a good sense of humor. A day after NME confused him for recording artist Nick Cave of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds — YES IT REALLY HAPPENED LOLOLOLOL — this photo was posted on Nick Cave (the artist)’s official Facebook page (and Kriston Capp’s Twitter) […]
