Bike Magazine actually had a photo similar to this with this slogan years ago. When I ran across this photo, I remembered it and wanted to share the funniness with you.

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE
Monday, September 22nd, 2008New Painting Finished : Fear of Change : 09.15.08
Monday, September 15th, 2008
I just finished a new painting. Acrylic and ink on 22″x30″ Arches Watercolor Paper. The title of my latest mixtape was taken from the concept of this painting. It’s a concept that has affected my life for as long as I can remember. I think it is a dilemma that is common to the human experience – you’re not content where you are, but you don’t want to loose what you have. What do you do? Hopefully you figure out where you want to be, do the research on how to get there and start making moves. Is contentment even really desirable? Wouldn’t life be pretty boring if you didn’t have anything left to strive for. Well, anyway, I really like how the geometric pattern came out on this. It’s a bitch to paint straight lines, but the finished product is rewarding.
Weekend Art Shows : SEPT 5 & 6
Monday, September 8th, 2008I hit a few art shows this weekend. Friday was a small show that my friend Amber from Busy-Being helped put on at Fresh Pressed (a new retail screenprint shop in Silverlake). There was a small selection of original art and signed prints from Andy Mueller, Kime Buzzelli, Sean Cassidy, Rory Wilson and Frohawk Two Feathers, as well as the opportunity to make your own prints using screens from these artists. We’ll have to keep an eye on this space and see what it does next.
Saturday was a huge night for art shows. I had to pick a couple to go to and forget about the rest. I hit the first show at the new Roberts & Tilton Gallery. The show, entitled Macrocosm, had work by artists: Ed Templeton, Barry McGee, Matt Leines, Jimmy Baker, Delphine Courtillot, Noah Davis, Jeremy Everett, Eberhard Havekost, Adam Janes, Titus Kaphar, Thomas Kiesewetter, Becca Mann, Faris McReynolds, Ellen De Meutter, Adam Pendleton, Peter Rogiers, Andrew Schoultz, Kehinde Wiley, and Ai Yamaguchi. Ed’s wall of kissing teens was nice and the huge portrait by Kehinde Wiley was the definite standout. I also really love the precision and detail of Matt Leines work.
