Oh, to have been a fly on Brad Elterman's camera--

Brad Elterman is a well known photographer of pop culture.  When You look at these images, you can't help but wish to have been around for the vibe.  I'm feeling this right now!  Flashing LIGHTS!!!!

The images drip with sexiness and are sticky on the brain.  His work looks effortless.  Baller.  I love his website, and the captions and backstory for each image. Worth visiting for sure. 

Brad Elterman’s career started with a borrowed camera at the age of 16. His first photo, of Bob Dylan performing onstage, was published in 1974.

That lead to endless nights of covering the rock scene in Hollywood encompassing pop, punk and rock bands including the Faces with Rod Stewart, David Bowie, the Sex Pistols, the Runaways, Kiss, Queen, Blondie, the Ramones, the Bay City Rollers, Abba, Boney M, Kenny Rogers, The Who, Leif Garrett, Michael Jackson, etc.

Banksy is the artworlds Batman---

He's a genius.  So simple. So smart.  He did this  "pop-up" street art installation--- which poses as a innocent pet store on 89 7th Avenue between West 4th and Bleeker Street in the West Village of New York City.  It is a populist's version of Damien Hirst's exhibition at the Seagrams Building(Lever House) last year.  Banks is pushing it to another level!  The concept speaks for itself.  And the tension of who he is, and how he pulled this off really represents what is in the air for street art....and where it can and will go.

From Banksy:

“New Yorkers don’t care about art, they care about pets. So I’m exhibiting them instead. I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming, but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing. I took all the money I made exploiting an animal in my last show and used it to fund a new show about the exploitation of animals. If its art and you can see it from the street, I guess it could still be considered street art."
