He has been so effective with his frontal onslaught that little publications like the New York Times and The Wall St. journal have taken notice. This year he, Ross Brodar was invited by Art Gallery Olof of the Netherlands to show in the actual fair.

SHEPARD FAIREY {ARTIST + GUERRILLA MARKETER}

POLITICAL ARTIST OF THE YEAR SHEPARD FAIREY
When the street artist and guerrilla marketer Shepard Fairey got word from the Obama people that they would welcome his contribution to the campaign, he knew what he wanted to create: a phenomenon.
Illustration by Shepard Fairey
All political art is propaganda (that is the point), but most political posters are bland, forgettable, wallpaper, like Fred Thompson on an off day. Fairey wanted something more iconic — aspirational, inspirational — and cool. In other words, he wanted to make posters that the cool cats would want. The 2008 Democratic primary season equivalent of the Che poster (with all that implies). More Mao, more right now. The kind of poster that might make its way onto dorm room walls of fanboys. The kind of poster that might sell on eBay, as a signed Fairey Obama recently did, for $5,900. He wanted his posters to go viral.

FRANCOISE NIELLY {PAINTER}
Posted by Hassan Kinley | Filed under Art + Design
Painting by Francoise Nielly
Francoise Nielly is a painter who grew up in the South of France. Francoise’s paintings are expressive, exhibiting a brute force and a fascinating vital energy. Oil and knife combine sculpts her images from a material that is, at the same time, biting and incisive, charmel and sensual. Whether she paints the human body or portraits, the artist takes a risk: her paintings are sexual, her colors free, exuberant, surprising and even explosive.
Francoise is a passionate woman who loves life and her art work reflects her zest for life. -Excerpt from her bio written by David Markus

Photgraphy + Illustration by Zach Gold
Zach Gold is a brilliant photographer/illustrator. I’ve been following his work ever since he shot and illustrated the cover for the LOVE BAZAAR publication September 2000. He has been quite busy since then shooting ads for Motorola, Intel, Nike and many others. The two images showcased on K+R are from Zach’s personal gallery on his website. He is definitely worth checking out.

The Olsen Twins
Posted by Karin | Filed under Literature | Book Review
The Olsen twins Book !
The Olsen twins are all grown up and they look smashing! They are the true meaning of Chic. Their first introduction to us came when they were little infants. They were part of a show called “Full House“…I would find myself having my dinners and catching their show every night. I loved this program and how cute the Olsen twins where then – simply adorable! They truly became a house hold name. Both continued their acting career by appearing in numerous television program, film and commercial endorsements…
