What's most captivating about street art is randomly stumbling on your ability to be entertained by life, unedited. Seems like a distant memory we know. It's not the same fascination as watching our fellow man in embarrassing or dangerous situations but I'm sure there's a connection. Anyway, trolling unurth.com for inspiration we find urban life imitating art imitating life.

The Best and Worst Of...

Whatever happened to the "cheesy-semi-experimental-indie-pop uber artistic" music video?

Most popular is probably artists like Moby with the critically acclaimed "Praise You" video from his Fatboy Slim album that you hate to love.

De Kooning: A Way of Seeing

Artist Tom Ferrara, former assistant to famed painter Willem De Kooning talks "in-studio" for MOMA (inside/out). Many times the first thing he would say about the painting he was working on was, “It reminds me of…” and it could be anything. He said, “you have to change to stay the same” and it was the way he described the challenge of keeping the life in his art. But change requires work and a lot of risk-taking. Free association was a big part of what his art was about. All he needed was the suggestion of form and his imagination would take off.
