ART: Yesterday we mentioned a few friends who spend their time making hamster nests, art and apparently making people very upset by merely existing. Anyway, one of them, Ryan McGinley, had an opening last night for his new show Irregular Regulars. His photographs of Morrissey were taken at shows from the past two years, and seem to depict Moz as God. more ›

New York Magazine takes a closer look at elusive street artist, Dash Snow. Cell phone and email-less, the only way to get in touch with him is to yell from the street below his Bowery apartment. "Lorax-like, he won’t come to the window to let you see that he sees you: He has a periscope he puts up so he can check you out first." If that fails, you could get in touch with one of his best friends, Dan Colen and Ryan McGinley, who have helped perpetuate the myth behind the man. more ›

I was looking through some of the pictures from the Ryan McGinley show, and I couldn't help but notice that about 50% are of the young graf artist Sacer who I used to see running around LES with his on-again-off-again partner Earsnot. From about 2000-2002 you couldn't go to an Alife opening or a Deitch Projects show without seeing them everywhere. It's funny that I never noticed that they had a personal photographer in tow. I can't think of any other graf artists that travel with that kind of entourage. I mean, guys like REVS are way too crazy to have someone tagging along with them, and most of the old school guys aren't living that kind of lifestyle. I'll say one thing for Sacer though- he sure has good hair. Another fact: I'm pretty sure the two of them were the first guys in NYC to consistently use glass etching fluid to catch tags.
