Yesterday I caught the film Art & Copy by Doug Pray, his latest documentary in a career dissecting underground art forms that end up heavily influencing mainstream culture. But unlike his previous films (Surfwise, Scratch, Hype!), Art & Copy is about one of the most mainstream and pervasive forms of art there is: advertising. The […]

Taxi Driver, infamous in its time for its brutal violence and copious bloodshed, gets the very unexpected David LaChappelle treatment in this photoshoot from defunct magazine Deliciae Vitae. The high end erotic fashion publication’s contributors over the years included premier couture photographers such as David Bailey, Vincent Peters, Max Vadukul, Enrique Badulescu, Rankin, Harri Peccinotti […]

The giant head box is filled with a litany […]

So apparently Richard Branson — you know, that Virgin billionaire that’s super cool because he jumps out of airplanes and circumnavigates the globe in a balloon — owns this ridiculous British Virgin Island where he has these crazy orgies and week-long bacchanalian parties. Called Necker Island, it’s basically the kind of paradise you’d think billionaires […]
