Here is an event in Santa Barbara that actually looks interesting.. The homie RICKS posted this and most likely worth checking out....


512 La Marina
Santa Barbara, CA 93109

Remember That You Are Mortal

Just saw this on Retna's blog:



While the images are pretty amazing, the story behind the mural is even more interesting....

From Mac: “This is a mural Retna and I just painted in Los Angeles called Memento Mori. This is a Latin phrase meaning ‘be mindful of death’ and can be translated as ‘remember that you are mortal’ or ‘remember that you must die. That could seem a little grim, but the point is really to encourage us to properly value and make the most of our time here.”

"Retna’s lettering in the background is from a pre-Hispanic Nahuatl/Azteca poem:

Must I go like the flowers that perish?
Will nothing remain of my name?
Nothing of my fame here on Earth?
At least my flowers, at least my songs.
Earth is the region of the fleeting moment"


Seriously folks, you never know when you time is up..... So cherish the all good things in your life, and stop tripping on the dumb shit......

Amazing..

So I just read an article about the artist JR in the new Juxtapoz mag.. and this guy is on some next level street art shit.... I have seen his work on Wooster Collective and today, they posted this:


Exciting news from our friend JR who emailed us just a few moments ago from Kibera, Kenya - on of the largest slums in all of Africa.

Today, after more than a year of planning, 2000 square meters of rooftops have been covered with photos of the eyes and faces of the women of Kibera. The material used is water resistant so that the photo itself will protect the fragile houses in the heavy rain season. The train that passes on this line through Kibera at least twice a day has also been covered with eyes from the women that live below it. With the eyes on the train, the bottom half of the their faces have be pasted on corrugated sheets on the slope that leads down from the tracks to the rooftops. The idea being that for the split second the train passes, their eyes will match their smiles and their faces will be complete.

This new work, by far JR's most ambitious to date, can be seen from space and will be seen in Google Earth.

Bravo, JR!




Seriously... this dude makes me want to mix up a batch of wehatpaste and step my game up
