Kanye West “Runaway” Film

There are few people who truly “give” in the world. Kanye West (HERE) is one of those few. He has been releasing a new music track every week for free and what drove me to do my post was the amazing film he put together titled “Runaway.” It is unlike anything you have seen and I love to see someone push himself and break away from what you would expect. You can catch the entire 30min film for free over at: http://kanyewest.com
or

Also, make sure to download all of the tracks he has been releasing for free on the site while you are there:

Via World Graffiti:
——

WG – Where do you draw influence from?

PM – I don’t directly draw my influence from one source. I think as an artist you have to create what you want. There are pieces that I make that you will never see because I don’t think they say anything about me growing as an artists. The whole goal is to grow and push your own self yet at the same time you need to know what is going on around you and learn from people around you.

If you don’t feed off the creative vibe around you and use it in a productive way then you will never run out of ideas. REPETITION KILLS. I can NOT stand people who repeat the same image over and over and over. Always the same, no evolution, no new ideas!!! I HATE IT. People get really tired of that and it is what is killing the urban art and gallery scene. It is just bad news overall.

You see more and more galleries just use the same artists who do the same exact thing and the entire scene just needs new life. The same goes for magazines. Over and over you see the same artists and that prevents any new talent from gaining exposure and recognition that they rightfully deserve. It is super sad and one of the main reasons people are not buying magazines. Why,when I can see something new every day online since you have not for the past 2 years.

For me I see it this way; If I wanted to have a quick way out of course I could just repeat a stencil 100 times but what does that say about me and about the time I put into what I do and consider a profession.

———–

Via World-Graffiti (HERE)
————

WG – Did you always combine the stencils with the collage stuff or did it develop over time?

PM – It was a major evolution process from the very beginning. The collage work has just become this huge chaotic mess of newspaper, textured paper, comics, money, paper from Tibet, and a bunch of other elements that I collage together.

In each painting I always put something that you can connect with immediate, whether it is you see Spiderman, Ninja Turtles, Ren and Stimpy, Robocop, etc. Once I create that connection then I develop a whole story within the painting so one you are sucked in to the painting you can explore on your own.

The goal now is to take that experience and develop it to something that is stronger and allows the audience to go through more emotions.

Interview!! Los Angeles Times x Friends With Knives Curated By PaperMonster @ Crewest Gallery

“There’s a fine line between what’s an eyesore and what’s really beautiful,” says PaperMonster. “There’s a line between writing on the street, with no purpose versus a very well thought-out message that people can connect with.”

“There’s a lot of work that goes into each stencil and each painting,” says PaperMonster, who notes that many compositions require more than a dozen different stencils and aerosol colors. “It deserves to have a proper space so people can observe it and spend time with it. In the street, the experience is very ephemeral.”

July/August PaperMonster’s Favorite Things 2010

Things have been so busy that I completely forgot to do my favorite things post for July so this month you get two whole months of favorite things for July and August. Check out all the madness below with tons of videos to watch.
First up we have Metroid: Other M for the Wii which releases this month and is one of the most anticipated games for the Wii this year. Metroid: Other M has a complete new style different than any other Metroid game in the past mixing sidescrolling and first person perspectives with new quick time events. To see what I mean check out the video below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Igjyh18ebw

Now this blew my mind. Nerf has taken things to a whole new level with their guns!! The new Nerf Stampede which sells for $50+ is a fully automatic firing machine. The Nerf guns that we used to have to pull to shoot will soon be a thing of the past. Check out the entire Nerf http://www.hasbro.com/nerf/en_US/ and buy your own Stampede in less than 30 days!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E81Jm_F6hIE

New sniper rifle from Nerf!! Insane!!
Jackass is back with a whole new movie coming to theather in October and guess in what dimension you can see it in…. 3D!!! You have to catch the entire preview below.
The ending is AMAZING:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFK6Ih8KOis

Now this is where things ger crazy. Microsoft has revealed a ton of new products/games at E3 this year and you will not believe what you can do with their latest addition the Kinect.
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/kinect
This is where games are going and what your kids will be playing very soon without a controller and a brand new way you will look at fitness games. YOU HAVE TO SEE THESE VIDEOS!!

Next we have my dream vision of an underground Batman style parking garage. Every home should come with one. Check more of this amazing concept at:
http://www.fubiz.net/2010/07/16/underground-parking-system/

OHHH YEAHH!! Here we see Terrafugia which is one step closer to a flying car. This new car concept really flys and is awaiting approval and further development. You can check out two great videos below of just what to expect from Terrafugia below:

Animated concept video

More mobile games?? YES! Archetype is the latest app for the Ipod Touch and Iphone that in my opinion is one of the best first person shooter games I have ever seen on any mobile device whether phone or mobile gaming system. This app only cost $2.99 and I can’t stop playing it!!! Catch me in a match under PaperMonster!! Pick your copy at your Ipod Touch or Iphone App Store!! Check out a gameplay video below:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTjizv8Ilf8

When I first saw this I had no clue what it was. It is called Rex Bionics System and it is a system that allows people bound to a wheel chair for whatever reason to be able to take their first foot steps with the aid of this exoskeleton system that allows you to stand and move upright. Check out the wonderful video showing the Rex Bionics System in action. This is a wonderful move forward in science!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGw5DYngHTo
Ren showed this to me last week and it is a new concept being push forward by China to create these massive buses that ride on rails similar to a subway train but cars can drive right through underneath each bus without any problem. Very cool concept and you can check out more of what China is planning next:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv8_W2PA0rQ

The Juxtapoz Magazine Stencil Issue Initiative Continues

There has been a huge amount of support for the Juxtapoz Magazine Stencil Issue Initiative which you can read more about here:
http://papermonster.wordpress.com/2010/07/12/juxtapoz-stencil-issue-initiative-please-re-post/
The entire goal is to produce an issue focusing on stencils as tools for art whether it be used by urban artists or fine artists to demonstrate the power of stencil art. Art Nouveau has a wonderful post on their site covering the story and how you can help support the project. Check it out here:
http://www.an-mag.com/juxtapoz-not-interested-in-papermonsters-stencil-issue/

Juxtapoz Stencil Issue Initiative Please Re-Post!!

Welcome to my latest goal!!
I would LOVE to see Juxtapoz Magazine create a special Stencil Art Issue or Book!!

http://juxtapoz.com/
As PaperMonster I want nothing more than to continue to promote the use of stencils whether you are a stencil artists or just someone who wants to use stencils as tool in your paintings or home. I feel that there is no better time than today to document how artists all over the world are using stencils to share their messages or just create something beautiful. That is what has brought me to create this new goal to encourage Juxtapoz Magazine to create a Special Stencil Art Issue. In the past Juxtapoz has created special issues highlighting New York Graffiti, Street Art, and several other themes but never a Stencil Art Issue.
With your help hopefully we can make this a reality!!!
HERE IS WHAT YOU CAN DO!!

Hello Juxtapoz Magazine
I am writing because I support PaperMonster’s initiative to work towards a special Juxtapoz Magazine Stencil Art/Graffiti issue or book concept similar to previous special issues/books that you have released on graffiti, street art issues, dark arts, and tattoo books. There is no better time than now to highlight the power and beauty that the stencil art movement has today. A Stencil Art/Graffiti Issue or Book Concept is a wonderful step forward for Juxtapoz Magazine as one of the leaders of art world. I am interested in this idea and hope that it is something we can see in the near future. Thank you for your time.

Vincent Michael Gallery is proud to present ‘PaperMonster Ate That Little Boy.’ A solo exhibition featuring prolific stencil artist, PaperMonster. The exhibition is on display from July 2^nd to July 31^st. In honor of PaperMonster’s solo exhibition, Vincent Michael Gallery will be hosting an opening reception Friday, July 2^nd from 6pm to 9pm.

To highlight PaperMonster’s personal and artistic growth over the past few years, it was only fitting his solo exhibition with Vincent Michael Gallery be titled ‘PaperMonster Ate That Little Boy.’ PaperMonster’s current oeuvre has taken his signature female images and infused each piece with greater depth, meaning and emotive expression. Each piece is a beautiful combination of layered imagery, textures and colors conveying themes of love, anger, fear, passion and mystery. Several portraits are layered images of women and powerful animals; speaking to the strength, ferocity and power that each women carries within. By continually developing his distinct use of collage, PaperMonster has taken his striking ability to explore facial expressions to new levels.

Twenty-two contemporary artists were chosen to participate in Just Art 2010. The Exhibit is curated in four clusters of work, each representing one of four issues central to the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU)’s work in 2010: Censorship, Privacy and Surveillance, Immigration Reform and Reproductive Rights. Each artist created artwork speaking to one of these four issues. While the show is eclectic in media and style to please almost any visitor, each cluster is cohesive; held together by a common medium or theme.

We would like to express our incredible gratitude to the artists. Each artist has slashed their prices to help raise funds for the NYCLU’s worthy work. For many of the more prolific artists in the group, Just Art 2010 offers unparalleled deals.

The lion’s share of the pieces in the Exhibit are listed below with images. You can browse the Auction by style/medium or minimum bid prices. To make a bid, please add a comment to the specific posting. We will contact you by e-mail to collect payment information in case you win the bid. If you MUST have a specific artwork, you may buy it by bidding its listed Market Value. This will pull the piece out of the Auction and make it yours on midnight of June 24, 2010.

Mia Brownell Eteri Chkadua Christian Dore Jack Howard-Potter Carly Ivan Garcia Martin Kruck Jane LaFarge Hamill Greg Gossel Steve Lambert Brian Leo Virginia Martinsen
