The now famous "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Obey</span>" style Image of Obama was based on a photograph taken by Associated Press's freelance photographer <span style="font-weight: bold;">Manny Garcia</span>...So now they want a cut of the tens of thousands of dollars that has swirled around the image. Fortunately it seems that <span style="font-weight: bold;">Shepard Fairey</span> didn't make more than a little added fame off of it-(well that's his story for the moment anyway). It took the photographer two seconds to snap that photo and prob took Fairey hours to repaint it. The photograph isn't what excited the globe and it couldnt have, it is one of millions and easily replaceable, Fairey's hard work made it gold.<br /><br />I don't think they deserve a cut ( especially off of a photo they never even used), but that's me.Khia!http://www.blogger.com/profile/18265588262839658782noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305932261379145681.post-66571591035401277232009-02-03T14:13:00.000-08:002009-02-03T14:37:58.641-08:00( Video Chat Coming to the Iphone?)

I stood in the crowd as he gathered all of his employees around him and talked about how hard he has been fighting to keep them with him. I was touched. 2008 was a tough year for so many of you guys. I mean really-Artists got hammered this year. ( many many )Lost jobs, lost homes, cars and credit debt. For some I know it was literally hard to eat this year, but the fact is that we're all still standing, and in some of the toughest cities in the world. we're still eating and making it. <br /><br />We made it through the Bush regime and if this the best they can do to take us to rock bottom, I think this year is going to be lovely. The world is yours to do with what you will. And the way the world looks is the way you've decided it looks to you. So look up, I see big things in the year(s) to come.

His buildings make him look like a hardworking maniac. There is something haphazard about the way he does his thing that I like. For instance all of this totally different stuff comes off of the same building. For his buildings he designed <span style="font-style:italic;">everthing<span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></span> down to the light fixtures and the gates and the doors and the keyholes in his signature look<br />(he died having only one girlfriend on record never married-who'd have guessed). And he seemed to have more unfinished projects than finished. He walks off a project when the heads involved cramp his style.<br /><br />As a designer he's my new hero. To refuse to bend to anyone's will and create these crazy pieces in the early 1900s...crazy.Khia!http://www.blogger.com/profile/18265588262839658782noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305932261379145681.post-81697915459056426302008-12-13T20:26:00.001-08:002008-12-13T20:34:56.394-08:00EPMD-Back in Business<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNu3-bEefAVJbWWcXB2LlN02hvC46RgnNrMtYkP0dekO3Z5wNFBjM2mXcwZnQg6Hy65QKnWua0Skz8KvpIR-PiBPTDLljGOn_-Kg4k2gQ_y5r_tSoOXqDSER_b1usCxWPw1WgHJoJk3Jw/s1600-h/epmd1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNu3-bEefAVJbWWcXB2LlN02hvC46RgnNrMtYkP0dekO3Z5wNFBjM2mXcwZnQg6Hy65QKnWua0Skz8KvpIR-PiBPTDLljGOn_-Kg4k2gQ_y5r_tSoOXqDSER_b1usCxWPw1WgHJoJk3Jw/s320/epmd1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279499313967595010" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqiopnuNWBZgHnXyIruxquxnynxW5RAF0MEvhhLXTwCjixunTfPzj9DvCsQUBNPSEfNLwaxWIlLb9Ugege73Kg4jnzLj6v8InBEzyJembkZm6xUATyceg6LuGYmBfFo1Zq3ZZud0sw70Q/s1600-h/epmd5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqiopnuNWBZgHnXyIruxquxnynxW5RAF0MEvhhLXTwCjixunTfPzj9DvCsQUBNPSEfNLwaxWIlLb9Ugege73Kg4jnzLj6v8InBEzyJembkZm6xUATyceg6LuGYmBfFo1Zq3ZZud0sw70Q/s320/epmd5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279499241250481362" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB8RwuTXUIDuNuZn8w01lkPbz9W-tCWYMPLo8NmTlik8tkc8U1wNsq8GKy-RBlB2Xon-dAqzUKwBU3SnfxqxLLKqoapZ0O70NY0quKkA36_MWAoIcHnvbDW_CBx47sSSjKQ-BU61s0eXo/s1600-h/epmd9.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 253px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgB8RwuTXUIDuNuZn8w01lkPbz9W-tCWYMPLo8NmTlik8tkc8U1wNsq8GKy-RBlB2Xon-dAqzUKwBU3SnfxqxLLKqoapZ0O70NY0quKkA36_MWAoIcHnvbDW_CBx47sSSjKQ-BU61s0eXo/s320/epmd9.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279498401491103538" /></a><br />Privileged to see the album release party for EPMD new album " <span style="font-weight:bold;">We Mean Business</span>".

I recently worked a gig here in NY with a korean woman named Juna Lee...so her name started this conversation. Apparently there is a Korean comedy movie called <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Jenny, Juno</span> written and directed by Kim-Jo Hoon. It's about a middle school girl and her boyfriend who gets pregnant and then delivers. Sounds a little familiar but even though the Korean and American versions are dead on screen writter <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Diablo Cody</span> says she never knew it existed.

My bad. But Yashua Klos told me to tell it like it is so... <div><br /></div><div>A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to go up to harlem and check out Kehinde Wiley as he spoke about his latest exhibition " The World Stage:Africa". I've had convos with friends about Kehinde's artwork. Originally my reaction to his work was total awe and in time it turned to " what on earth?". </div><div><br /></div><div>Kehinde has become famous for painting image after image of gigantic black men in traditional european poses. They are gorgeous and technically sick. But there are so MANY of them after awhile I began to question his message? I guess it was supposed to be ironic, but It began to seem like he wanted to make black men dignified by making them act non-black. One friend defended him saying that Kehinde's idea was that because we (blacks) are not repped in history he was "painting us in". I said " really, well that's cool". So when the opportunity presented itself I had to ask Kehinde what the real deal was ( turns out btw I wasnt the only audience member disturbed). <div><br /></div><div>He fumbled a little as he said he was fascinated by european art and he found it the utmost in dignity and wanted to depict the men this way (paraphrasing). It kind of makes me sad. With the many many gigantic and time consuming paintings he did this is the best way he found to make that point. And then he turned it into a gimmick. I've seen at least 17 of them 6 ft tall a piece. Well, we all have to eat and Kehinde is eating well.</div><div><br /></div><div>Kehinde, babes. This is OUR world every last one of us. White-Black-Yellow-Beige. There is no longer one standard. Pretty paintings tho, but I'm glad you've moved on. :)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Khia!http://www.blogger.com/profile/18265588262839658782noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7305932261379145681.post-41237721275441612922008-11-12T20:51:00.000-08:002008-11-12T20:59:32.596-08:00A Cure for AIDS????!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGXjuXQdpPEYHoGiONgDqqGzgdPLunsRj4sdPQHeK97ggYBy7cyx_7IJ3Hh66BLA3QdVRw25-x5PhVlg2j54mPC__v8adb6hAnbjDglp-a_HSGabtBE7_VFqRPSQZ_UrJu1mYcTNFfBiU/s1600-h/french-aids-posters(530).jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 250px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGXjuXQdpPEYHoGiONgDqqGzgdPLunsRj4sdPQHeK97ggYBy7cyx_7IJ3Hh66BLA3QdVRw25-x5PhVlg2j54mPC__v8adb6hAnbjDglp-a_HSGabtBE7_VFqRPSQZ_UrJu1mYcTNFfBiU/s320/french-aids-posters(530).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268002182438842546" /></a><br />Cough it the hell up!
