LABEL NEW YORK
I love this shirt. Each one is hand dyed, and the color combination is amazing. Super Om! The t-shirt is soft.
All of this is done by a local New York City designer who makes these in his Hells Kitchen studio. I first saw this on a guy walking down the street, and I was filled with envy! Luckily I bought one at a shop downtown, but I just found the website for this designer so I thought I would share it. Support this local designer. (via Label New York)

Richard Milazzo speaks with David Salle
February 17 David Salle with Richard Milazzo In conversation at the New York Studio School
David Salle - Painter; currently represented by Mary Boone Gallery. Richard Milazzo - Critic, curator and writer
Below are some random quotes, commentary and images from the evening.
Richard Milazzo speaking about David Salle's, Satori Three Inches within Your Heart, 1988; described it as "something like Carravagio's Basement." A wonderful mental image that motivated me to drive out to the painting studio after the lecture, and get to work on a painting that I am wrestling with. There was much discussion between the two men about the associations of the work. Milazzo seemed intent on trying to "figure it out" find meaning in the composed pictures. Salle was reluctant to explain the images, but reassured Milazzo that the impulse to find meaning in his work, and in painting is the same impulse that drives Salle when he is looking at pictures. Salle however didn't spend much time focused on the "narrative" of the work. Rather he spoke a bit about the composition of images, on picture planes, in a rather formal way.
"Composing a picture on a picture plane has more to do with page design rather than art history."
Two early birds sitting in the front row with Good Bye D projected onto the wall in the distance.
"What feels like authenticity for one generation, looks like bogus posturing to another."

A conversation with Steve DeFrank
Originally written for ArtCal.net; 
the following is a conversation between artists Steve DeFrank and Andrew Cornell Robinson. The conversation took place in DeFrank’s Brooklyn studio on Tuesday 16 September 2008.
Introduction
Steve Defrank’s new series of paintings in the exhibition Mirror, Mirror at Margaret Thatcher Projects plumbs the depth of personal myth to reveal deceptively cheerful and malevolent emotions. His paintings depict a saccharine sweet caricatured naturalism rendering images of hidden sexual desire represented by images of degradation such as tree stumps and wooden boards riddled with carvings of phrases such as “Aunt Fancy” and “I Love Cum”. The paintings are playful, but in a mischievous and subversive way and offer a significant departure for Defrank who had developed a signature body of work based on the format of the lite-brite toy.
Steve and I had the opportunity to speak about his work shortly after the exhibition opened.
Andrew Cornell Robinson: You made a transition in your work. You moved away from your signature lite-brite compositions and created this incredibly rich language of painting. Tell me about what was going on as you were going through this transition.
Steve DeFrank: I was doing the lite-brites. It was my gimmick, my shtick. It was beautiful, it gave me many gifts, and what I’d like to say is that my medicine finally kicked in.
