If you won’t be in the Big Apple this Sunday, September 12, then you’re in luck because we have a huge preview of Ron English’s upcoming pop-up exhibit, Status Factory opening that same day. Looking through these works is like thumbing through a catalog of candy coated social ills, which is just the artist’s intention.

The subject matter can be harsh at times, but Boogie has earned solid respect from us because through the digital revolution, he’s stayed tried and true to classic black and white analog.

Remember when we told you about the Nike patent to develop a self lacing shoe reminiscent of Marty McFly's in Back to the Future? The internet phenomenon created a huge buzz and a new and improved prototype has already been released. It actually looks pretty solid too.
