See some actual highlights from photographer Tod Seelie in the gallery above. The viking ship created by Dennis McNett for Juxtapoz at the Yellowjacket Social Club. Big […]
We don’t have much to go in trying to interpret what the hell is going on in these photos of Skull x Skull that Tod Seelie shot for us. The event is put on by Skidmarxxx every Sunday of SXSW. It starts in the afternoon and goes until the cops shut it down, every time. Geographically, it’s within the city limits of […]

But art exhibits don’t usually pop up at strip clubs. And burlesque show […]
In a vacant New York City water tower, four experience designers created a modern speakeasy called the Night Heron. It was only open for an eight week run, each night risking arrest — the owner of the building never knew of the bar’s presence. Guests were led on a trespass journey through a series of vacant […]
Since 1999, Tod Seelie a.k.a. Sucka Pants has been shooting iconic New York — not your shiny postcard tourist New York, not your banal work-a-day New York. Seelie shoots sweaty basement DIY shows, firey tall-bike jousting Bike Kill, Swoon’s Swimming Cities trash-art-rafts on the Hudson River, lawless block parties, artists, train-hoppers, anti-heroes — our heroes.
