ROUNDBALL///STREET LIFE///KOBE x SHEPARD FAIREY = MVP ART…

July 10th, 2008

KB takes purple away from Prince once and for all…

KOBE BRYANT fans not still bedridden after the sickening Celtics Championship victory last month can grab a piece of the KB MVP legacy by snapping up one of these two commemorative prints by Supertouch’s own SHEPARD FAIREY who was commissioned personally by the Kobe himself for the occasion. Limited to 50 print editions each signed by both Shepard and Kobe, and in 100 print editions signed only by Shepard, “Kobe” and “MVP” are available only through UPPER DECK and will set you back around $1K each. And don’t forget to look up next time you’re driving past Hollywood & Vine. Number 24’s up there plotting revenge (and hopefully some player trades) in 2009…

From up there Kobe can see Boston, and he’s pissed…

FIGHTIN’ WORDS///LAMAR x UNDFTD = BOSTON SUCKS!…

June 7th, 2008

A scientifically proven fact…

Ok, just because longtime underdogs the BOSTON CELTICS took down the LA LAKERS last nite the grueling drawn-out dogfight that was game one of the 2008 championship series is no reason to forget that Boston indeed does suck and that the Lakers are destined to put them down like the pseudo-Irish dogs that they are. It’s a fact that Supertouch homies LAMAR ODOM (aka: Bad #7) and Hollywood sneaker & streetwear brand UNDEFEATED teamed up to tell the world about via UNDFTD’s new “Boston Sucks/Team Odom” shirt.” Available now online for a paltry $20 (that’s cheaper than a bootleg shirt!) at the UNDFTD shop, get yours today and prove that you were on the winning side from the start.

When a dollar is fed into a machine standing outside Powers’ mock jail cell installation featuring paintings by the artist inside and out, viewers can climb a short flight of steps to peer through cell bars and view an animatronic torture scene of a hooded jailer pouring water down the throat of an orange jumpsuit wearing Gitmo detainee…

It has its roots in a heady blend of splatter movies, heavy metal music, Satanism, Pagan mythology and adolescent angst.
