Events We Love :: Poster Boy The War of Art Launch
The time has come. Poster Boy’s The War of Art will launch in NY, LA, London & Miami tomorrow with simultaneous signings, screenings and overall celebrations. The release of this book will also officially kick off K.A.R.A.T.E., (Kids Are Rallying Against The Empire), a a grass roots effort that will eventually turn into a non-profit organization serving as a legal defense fund for artists.
Even at its infancy K.A.R.A.T.E. has managed to get Henry Matyjewicz, a Poster Boy participant, out of prison on appeal only two weeks after being sentenced to 11months by a superior court in New York. Mr. Matyjewicz is now being represented by world class civil rights lawyer, Ron Kuby. Because of K.A.R.A.T.E. Mr. Matyjewicz now stands a fighting chance in court.
Please join us tomorrow for a good cause, some great films, prints, signed books & tunes. Help us celebrate our ever dwindling first amendment rights!

Books We Love :: Poster Boy -The War of Art
The best part of embarking on a web series about art is meeting new artists. About a year ago I came across an article in New York Magazine about a young crazy razor blade swinging street artist. His name was Poster Boy. Luckily for me the article included his Flickr page and away I went clicking. After seeing a pretty impressive body of work all created out of subway adverts, I decided to reach out.
