December 31st, 2010 Comments off

The latest book published by Juxtapoz - now available.

Sexuality is one of the most enigmatic facets of the human psyche. Writers and artists have spent untold ink in an effort to unravel the mysteries of our libidinous tendencies.

‘Erotica’, the new book from Juxtapoz, features titillating explorations of the subject matter by two dozen of the most exciting artists working today. Some featured works are meticulously illustrated, some abstract in style, some realistic, some forays into fantastic worlds that fuel the imagination. ‘Erotica’ includes samplings from David Choe, Audrey Kawasaki, Tara McPherson, James Jean, Rockin’ Jelly Bean, Gary Baseman, Tomer Hanuka, and many more.

Audrey Kawasaki's featured spread in 'Erotica' - now available at Juxtapoz.com

Dabs Myla at it again in downtown Los Angeles…

December 26th, 2010 2 comments

'Only Time Will Tell' mural with Dabs Myla (Australia), Askew and Deus (New Zealand), Vans (Australia), Skore (Germany), Rime, Revok and Witness

Australian duo Dabs Myla are at it again. After rocking the Long Live The Yellow Fin’ mural alongside Craola recently, they hooked up with Askew and Deus (New Zealand), Vans (Australia), Skore (Germany), Rime, Revok, and Witness for a really interesting concept wall in downtown Los Angeles.

Askew had the idea to paint a wall based on the phrase “Only Time Will Tell” with the running theme of the 4 seasons along the wall in order, with each season teamed with each word.

VANS / RIME/ WITNES: Winter, with VANS on letter detail painting the phrase “ONLY”
DABS / MYLA / SCORE: Spring, With SCORE on letter detail painting “TIME”
REVOK / RIME: Summer, REVOK on letter/background detail painting “WILL”
ASKEW / DEUS: Fall, ASKEW on letter detail painting “TELL”

The wall took two long days and nights to complete and came out super strong. Check out more pics of the wall coming to life here: www.flickr.com/photos/thinkspace/sets/72157625677136794/
