When the Westcoast was Fun!

The Cronic was the first album that I remembered buying or begging my Dad to by it for me. Of course my Mom found out and throw it away, but I took it out of the trash and tried to hide it from her. Somehow she would always find it and I was always sneaking it out of the trash. She finally broke it and that was the end of The Cronic for me.

When the Westcoast was Fun!

Back in my wannabe gangsta days this song was like the Bible to me. I even wore that purple suit for Halloween.

Richard Prince “Canal Zone” Exhibition


Looking back upon his roots and the source of much political controversy, the Panama Canal is the focus of eclectic American artist Richard Prince’s latest exhibition the “Canal Zone”. Under the show’s pretense, the Panama Canal Zone has been reappropriated as a post-apocalyptic area featuring “leshy female pin-ups, Rastafarians with massive dreadlocks, electric guitars, and virile black bodies” as they run riot against a sub-tropical backdrop. The presentation takes on a distinct look as Prince creates a literal story-board style approach including printing pictures onto canvases. Another notable approach includes a “pulled on” style, a technique which involves “a primitive collage technique whereby printed figures are roughly cut out, then the backs of those figures painted and pasted directly onto the base canvas with a squeegee so that the excess paint squirts out on and around the image.” The exhibition is currently on display at the Gagosian Gallery until December 20th.

Definitely taking a step away from the “norm”, Mr. Krafft explains his reasoning for the creation of such pieces and how they represent his true form as an artist.

I don't understand why people are in to those super thin models. I also don't undestand how people can look at her and call her fat.
