Alexa Meade

Nylon is one of my favorite magazine's, it's the perfect mix of fashion, art, music and culture. It's one of those magazines where I read every page (sometimes twice). This month, they featured women artists, one of them was Alexa Meade  a 23 year-old who worked as a press staffer for the Obama campaign, at first I thought I was just looking at an art painting. It turns out I was looking at a person that she painted and then photographed in a way that looked 2 dimensional, thus making her subject living breathing art. I was both blown away and inspired. Take a look for yourself.

The Simpsons

I totally love the Simpsons. It's one of those shows that I can watch, even if I haven't watched it in a while. Last night, the opening was down right creepy, thought-provoking-perfect, with the opening credits story board created by artist Banksy. The credits start out normally and then shift to this underground world that touches on child labor and dying dreams (there's a dying unicorn put to work) Take a peek at the opening and let me know what you think in the comments. 

Update: The old video was taken down, so here is the full episode, with the Banksy opening. I promise it's totally cool and kind of Halloween-y. 

In 2008, Banksy created this piece in a neighborhood in london.
