...your prints tomorrow.”So, thanks, Om, for using up my professor’s single compliment for that week. He sure as hell didn’t offer any others in my vicinity.Legend has it that this particular professor used to party with Bowie and Warhol, so I had high expectations when I headed to Om’s sweet media release party.Hell, I figure if it’s good enough for someone who’s even touched Bowie, it’s good enough for me.The first thing I noticed when a buddy?...
...20th anniversary of Andy Warhol's death next year is creating buzz about the famously misunderstood artist, who uniquely grasped the function of celebrity and mass media in modern society and redefined the barrier between art and commerce. This month Phaidon Press publishes a 15-lb., 624-page visual biography, including 2,000 images, many rare or unpublished.

"Paul Budnitz is the Warhol of this generation," says Peter Gatien, a New York nightclub promoter whose new Toronto spot, Circa, will devote an entire floor to Kidrobot's trademark vinyl figure, Dunny. "He's so brilliant, he's scary--in a good way." Just like his toys...
...somehow Barbie remains incurably pink and retro, because she is an icon, a Warhol painting, a Smithsonian exhibit. The latest attempt to make Barbie modern is a little painful to watch. Bling Bling Barbie looks like a Bratz clone. At the Toy Fair this week in New York City, Mattel is unveiling the new Ken, who has "hottie hair" and cooler clothes. Turns out Ken is a metrosexual now. Mattel talks about the "Barbie turnaround" it is planning, which just makes me worried about the prospect of Rhinoplasty Barbie (you can remake her face!) or Tattoo Barbie...
