Josh Cochran extraordinaire

September 24th, 2009

future

What can we say about Josh Cochran that hasn’t already been said? A whole lot of things: we can say he’s a Nigerian prince who needs a cash advance; we can say he’s negotiating a contract to join Lance Armstrong’s The Shack bicycle team. On second and third thought, those things haven’t already been said because they’re lies in the factual sense. We can say Josh makes us joyful with more truthiness, because we’re being honest now.

aStory Issue Two Cover

Oh my goodness it is here. Is it? Oh my. It is. This is the cover.

Clearly aStory agent 002 is no longer undercover, it’s out and being spied. If you could go under 002’s cover and into its contents, you’d find heated exchanges of words with Datarock and MSTRKRFT, find out how graffiti can subsidize world travel, and how to build your own haunted house for Halloween in a foreclosed McMansion.  We’ll also introduce you to some of our pretty friends we shot. But don’t try anything creepy, this isn’t MyFace. (How ’bout that, someone really built a social site called MyFace.)

Now comes the hard part: just sit in front of your computer and these stories and more magic will randomly appear on the screen each time you return to astoryontheweb.com over the next, um, sometime. DO NOT try to find aStory’s goodies on this eloquent New York male model’s website. It won’t work. That’s our secret: we have our own site.

Legally speaking, George Lucas owns all things Ewok. But that never stopped EWOK from traveling the world, painting a word George Lucas owns wherever he likes. EWOK lives outside the law. RVCA may not care about ewoks but they do care about EWOK, and that’s probably why EWOK is a large member of their Artist Network Program. Read about his international adventures after the jump.

Uhhhh, it’s actually a film about the art of tattooing.

Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry is a feature length documentary exploring the roots of American tattooing through the life of its most iconoclastic figure, Norman “Sailor Jerry” Collins. Considered by many the foremost tattoo artist of all time, Collins is the father of modern day tattooing, whose uncompromising lifestyle and larger than life persona made him an American legend. Through rare interviews, photographs and hours of archival footage, Hori Smoku Sailor Jerry: The Life and Times of Norman Keith Collins, explores the past, present and future of tattooing.

Our dear old friend, legendary skate artist and Jackass producer Sean Cliver is having a party. It’s for his latest book that so many graphic artists will ripoff classic skate art from. Pro skater Keith Hufnagel’s HUF store is the place where the potato juice will be flowing. Last to The Dime is a rotten egg.

Banksy Takes Bristol

July 27th, 2009

Supposedly Banksy is from Bristol, but since no one knows who he really is Banksy could actually be a girl from Cincinnati. That’s art and how you make magic.

A sweet, cute ventilation grate on the side of a building. If you know what street this is on, you could win. Hint: “Is that Dustin Dollin, mate?”

My aquarium is bigger than your aquarium

July 19th, 2009

What an adorable toy scuba diver at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Japan hunts whales and dolphins, but reveres nature with expensive contained oceans like this. It’s all up the yin-yang.
