Happy Birthday Buddy

Brooklyn Bridge turns 125 today.  In dog years, that’s almost age 1000.

The Most Ripped Off Print…

It’s one thing seeing a Nike swoosh or a McDonalds arch–maybe because we’ve become so accustomed to them being everywhere–but a Louis Vuitton bulletin board? In Bangalore, India? We could go off on a social diatribe here, throw around a few loaded words like globalization and homogenization, and quote Thomas L. Friedman. But then, we aren’t […]

Given the artists involved, you’d think we’d be in for an eclectic collabo treat — but sitting through this video, it’s hard watching without thinking, “Okay, this video might persuade […]
