Eric Felisbret - Graffiti New York

posted on February 5th, 2010

Heraty Law client Eric Felisbret has a nice write-up in the New York Times today:

Eric Felisbret has published a thick, glossy new book, “Graffiti New York,” a survey of the art that mirrors his own life trajectory - from outlaw origins to mainstream respectability.

Then, as now, photographs were the only lasting evidence that a piece had ever existed. But today the photos reach an audience that far outstrips that of even the most hyperactive All-City Bomber from the ’70s.

NSFW - Gawker Artists

Steve Ellis - Stripping Pen

Heraty Law client Steve Ellis is participating in a group show, NSFW, presented by Gawker Artists.

Steve’s Amanda Lepore Stripping Pen is inspired by Lepore’s own story of transsexual transformation. The iconic painting celebrates both a common object and the reinvention of sexual identity.

In Steve’s own words, “This portrait on the surface looks like a curvy porn star, but instead the model is a sculpted sexual being and work of art unto herself.”

The show, which is curated by sisters Genevieve and Liz Dimmitt, will be exhibited at 210 Elizabeth St, 4th Floor, NYC, through the end of March 2010. The opening is this evening from 7pm - 9pm.

WWMLKD(WT): what would MLK do (with Twitter)?

Heraty Law client Baratunde Thurston (of The Onion, Jack & Jill Politics, and PopSci’s Future Of on the Science Channel) wrote a powerful essay for Vanity Fair about how Martin Luther King, Jr., would use Twitter.

Baratunde posits that MLK would converse with fellow activists, thinkers, and average citizens of his time; update followers on his whereabouts and activities; join in hashtag memes; face criticism from his contemporaries; expose some of his private struggles and frustrations; criticize governments for unjust policies; and he’d be a leader who would follow those who joined him in the struggle.
