After checking the vid for Scratching The Surface I thought I’d post another masterfully executed film Up There. It too is a truely inspiring flick, however you ain’t ever gonna get me “Up There”. enjoy.

by Rhees Goodridge, Chris Alexander Kiprovski and Paul Terry.

HK illustrator John Woo, not the same John which brought us such greats as Faceoff, did a pretty awesome job of styling Vader, A Storm Trooper, Jar Jar, Clone Trooper, Boba, A Scout Trooper and Jango.

Although wouldn’t it make more sense for Jar Jar to be all suckered out in Supreme and Visvim? I always pictured Boba as having more class than that.

Be good to see Ackbar being tres amaze in Westwood and Bib Fortuna in Rick Owens.

Playing out in a way that’s reminiscent to the recent Banksy v Robbo beef. TrustoCorp a group of New York based artists have declared war against the conceptual art project / actual artist Mr Brainwash in retaliation to MBW’s recent New York promotional campaign leading to his latest show in the city.

Say what you will about Mr Brainwash, but in many ways he’s the martyr savior of street art. By encapsulating mostly everything that sucks about street art, the repetition, the thoughtlessness, the shameless self promotions, the tackiness, the abuse of pop culture references and the favor of the lowest common denominator and then allowing himself to be lead so easily to the slaughter, he’s become the scape goat that allows the world to wipe the slate clean and give it another shot.

MBW’s friendly retaliation.
