Make no mistake about it: #GIRLBOSS is an entertaining read.  With a sharp tongue and engaging candor Sophia Amoruso recounts her employment escapades (which included becoming a Sandwich Artist at Subway, working the information desk at Borders, and getting hired as a campus safety host) to her current position as Founder and CEO of Nasty Gal.  Always the irreverent outsider, Amoruso shunned attending college, choosing instead to open her own vintage shop on eBay.  With a passion for vintage and an eye for styling, Amoruso arrived on the eBay scene right when it was becoming the online shopping destination for [...]

There are three main reasons why Street art is my favorite kind of art.  For starters, it is for everyone.  Street art is not pretentious.  It isn't housed in a sterile environment.  You don't need a ticket or an invitation to enjoy what street art has to offer.  This type of art thrives where people go about their daily activities.  The fact that it is just as accessible and engaging to a kid going to school as it is to a CEO on her way to work is incredibly appealing. Secondly, Street Art changes over time.  So many artworks have [...]

Select a Tulisan gift which will impress their tendencies to devour in anything relating to the home. [...]

Klab Lucifer by Duto Hardono | Now - 10 July, 2014 This exhibition strengthens the artistic character that has become uniquely identified with Duto Hardono.   The use of sound, read-mades and found objects is still dominant in his installation work.  Other prominent aspects are his free play with signs that are laden with sarcasm.  Like a club, a place where people meet and enjoy themselves, this exhibition can be interpreted as a gathering space for signs that happily 'rebel', pure and cynical towards established valued, goodness and beauty. ArkGalerie Senopati Raya No. [...]
