A Beautiful Mind – The Colorful World of Chor Boogie
By Veronica Christina
Sprawled out like Jesus on the neatly manicured lawn of someone’s suburban dream home he lay, pushed from a moving car, abandoned and left for dead. He’d been high for three days smoking meth in a dirty motel room in an even dirtier part of San Diego. First the pipe, then the needle. After that anything goes. More crank? Sure, if ya got it. Wanna try heroin? Fuck it, why not? “I died [ Read More...]
What a Dick! Accidental Penis Art
By Veronica Christina
Just recently stumbled on Top Cultured’s blog post Art of the Accidental Penis and had to share. Brings a whole new level of understanding to fanatics who see religious figures in litter boxes and potato chips, doesn’t it?

John Gettings Polaroid Series
By Veronica Christina
Somewhere during my daily web stumbling I ran across photographer John Gettings. I’d seen his work previously on the occasional blog (it’s all exceptional) but was especially mesmerized by his Polaroid Series. In it, he takes quick shots of women in various states of undress, colors the film and backlights the collection.
These stunning pieces are currently showing at Gallery B in Sag Harbor, NY. If you’re not lucky enough to make it back [ Read More...]
Chloe Sevigny Bares All in Beautiful Nude Series
By Veronica Christina
The dynamic husband and wife duo of Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin photograph actress Chloe Sevigny in a beautiful collaboration, the elegant and striking nude series, Chloë nue. With only the free-flowing locks of her trademark blonde hair, beaded headband and the occasional kick-you-in-the-ass boot, Sevigny exudes style, innocence and grace without depending on her usual quirky, indie-fashion. Bravo.
Art Fag: You’re Not Real but I Love You Anyway…
By Karley Sciortino of Slutever
Everyone knows how it feels to fall for someone who doesn’t actually exist, whether it’s a character in a film, or the hero in your favorite a novel, or even the occasional cartoon (as IF you don’t want to bone Trent from Daria). I’ve always had a thing for fictional guys, and have spent the majority of my life lusting not after actors, but rather the [ Read More...]
When Ideas Have Sex (+Design)
At TEDGlobal 2010, author Matt Ridley shows how, throughout history, the engine of human progress has been the meeting and mating of ideas to make new ideas. It’s not important how clever individuals are, he says; what really matters is how smart the collective brain is. (via TED)
Art Fag: Top 10 YUMMIEST Guy-on-Guy Film Moments
By Karley Sciortino from Slutever
Recently, while flying from Toronto to London, I watched A Single Man—that homo Tom Ford film starring Colin Firth and the hot kid from Skins. I wasn’t expecting the movie to be so sexy, but fuck… the scene where they both get naked and frolic about in the sea gave me such a massive boner, I had to cover up with the in-flight magazine. So embarrassing. [ Read More...]
For the Love of the CAN: Recycled Graffiti Art
By Veronica Christina
Their colors warm your heart and the art they create soothes your soul. However, the landfill ridden mess they leave behind leaves you a tad concerned? Yup, I’m calling out spray paint, the medium most street artist have adopted and then were sadly forced to leave behind during their somewhat (ahem) quick exits.
This duality of feeling was the foundation behind the art collective CANlove and their attempt to collect and reuse the discarded [ Read More...]
Everyone I Have Ever Slept With
By Veronica Christina
I’ve known and been a fan of artist Tracey Emin for quite some time as, in my opinion, she’s one of the most prolific and brave artists working within the modern-day, societal constraints of sexuality. Her prolific work Everyone I Have Ever Slept With goes beyond just the physical by lovingly displaying hand-stitched names of those Emin felt had nurtured and loved her. Among the 102 sweetly, patch-worked names are former lovers, her [ Read More...]
Good Artists Copy. Great Artists Steal. Right Steve Jobs?
In this early video making the Internet rounds, Apple Inc CEO Steve Jobs likens Apple’s shameless stealing of “great” ideas to artistic practices. It’s a nice philosophy, though I’ll note the company only supports stealing as a creative end when there’s a demonstrable profit to be found. iTunes DRMs aren’t exactly facilitating sharing and I’m guessing the iPad won’t either.
