Modern Art

Modern art is exploding into mediums never before explored. We’re obsessed with innovative artists, leading edge designers and individuals who exude ultramodernism.


Visual Culture

Visual culture is the field of study that relates to all aspects of visual imagery, which can include traditional art, video games, comics, media, advertising and anything that has a visual component.


Graffiti and Counter Culture Expression

Graffiti artists like Banksy prove the point that artistic movements often ignite from counter culture expression. By tracking the counter culture, you can find out what’s on the cutting edge of cool.

The soles, meanwhile, mimic Krueger’s delightfully coarse-grained raw flesh complexion. These ugly sneakers are a must for every fa… [More]
