Yea, I said it.It’s an empty genre and an even emptier phrase. For those of you who know me, you probably think I’m crazy at this point. I swear by this “genre”, bump it constantly, and have even DJ’ed it on the radio. Yet, I have my reasons.The internet has changed the [...]

Saw this fresh take on urban artwork at MyModernMetropolis by the street art duo Herakut. Herakut is comprised of Hera and Akut, a male-female combo that boasts two very different and yet complementary styles. The picture is crazy (a girl with a bird-like headpiece writes: art doesn’t help people, people help people), and the process [...]
