In this video author Jon Nordstrøn brings his book “Danish Tattooing” to life by visiting Copenhagen’s most famous tattoo shops, telling stories along the way about the artists who made the subculture so significant there. From homemade tattoo guns to the influence of psychedelics on more recent styles, Nordstrøn’s colorful history is a must for anyone interested in the origins of the artform. (via Dustin Kemper)
Intriguing trailer for the new documentary: Jean-Michel Basquiat | The Radiant Child.
Directed by Tamra Davis, the documentary features never-before seen footage of the prolific artist painting, talking about his art, and existing. I can’t wait to see this film, this footage was all shot just 2 years prior to his death in 1988 and was tucked away in a drawer for the last 20 years. Incredible.
Directed by Doug Pray (HYPE! SCRATCH), Art & Copy captures the creative energy and passion behind the iconic campaigns that have had a profound impact on American culture. ART & COPY reveals the stories behind and the personal odysseys of some of the most influential advertising visionaries of our time and their campaigns, including Lee Clow (Apple Computer 1984, and today’s iPod); Dan Wieden (“Just Do It”); Phyllis K. Robinson (who invented the “me generation” with Clairol); Hal Riney (who helped President Reagan get re-elected); and George Lois (who saved MTV and launched Tommy Hilfiger overnight).
