This one made me think of Jason

Just read this entry on Pop Candy's blog, so I had to share it so everyone can keep an eye out for this doc. It sounds pretty cool. Briefly had a discussion about art last night with some moms. I stated that I'm not an "art" person in that I don't know what's supposed to be considered art or what not. It's too subjective. And I sure as hell don't want someone telling me what's art for commerce sake. I just look for things that catch my eye and interest me and make me say, "hey that's cool looking." I think that's what art should be about. Finding something that speaks to you, that represents you, that you can connect with. I bet some of the artists from this doc would feel the same. Check out www.beautifullosers.com for more info on the doc.


'Losers' looks like a winner at the theater
Some of my friends in New York and San Francisco have been raving about Beautiful Losers, a new documentary that spotlights a group of NYC artists who are "rooted in the DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop & graffiti."
Several artists are profiled, and the most recognizable names are film/music video director Mike Mills (Thumbsucker), Shepard Fairey and writer/director Harmony Korine.
Screenings have inspired workshops on both coasts, and you should head to the website to find out when it's coming to your town. (You can also request a screening.)
