“Directed by Ryan Hope, Skin is a dark, stylish examination of tattoo culture as high art, and a film that tests the boundaries of art and the human body.

Featuring contributions from Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons and Raymond Pettibon, the film is a beautiful visual essay from the frontiers of contemporary British art. 

Skin was made in association with Garage Magazine to mark the launch issue, and was made possible by the generosity of Christie’s, the world’s leading art business, and W Hotels.”

“There’s A New Buff Monster Mural (and Dessert) at The Standard Downtown. The Standard hotels of Los Angeles are longtime supporters of the city’s eclectic arts scene, this week debuting Tim Biskup’s The Box installation in Hollywood, and Buff Monster’s 6th Street Mural in Downtown Los Angeles. Buff Monster shared the process that went into his new wall with Hi-fructose, a 2-day feat accomplished with the help of his friends and videographer. The mural is a site specific piece of artwork featuring Buff’s signature character journeying through a landscape of sweets- and a glimpse of motifs to come. Buff Monster is currently preparing for his next solo exhibition at Corey Helford gallery, opening April 14th, 2012. To celebrate, The Standard Downtown’s restaurant is serving a Buff Monster dessert while the wall is up. Buff Monster’s 6th Street Mural mural is on view for one month. - Caro”

In celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, yU wanted to share a song that relates his vision of belief.

“Today’s a special day in remembrance of a man that resembled the spirit of a leader at a time where many just followed suit & went with the tide. Another example of how powerful the spoken word can be, changing the lives of many by something as simple as a thought; amplified by the tone of his voice. When iIm onstage, sometimes I think of Martin & Malcolm. I think of how they fueled their supporters with inspiration to push forward. I wrote “I Believe” at a time when I myself was going thru a lot, and was trying to fine tune my focus. Somehow after talking to my creator, & Charlie Ross (who lived in Okinawa, Japan at the time), I was given the music & this is what came from it.” – yU
