Ninja January 25th, 2010

French shop keeper turned documentary maker, Thierry Guetta (who goes under the moniker Mr. Brainwash) tells his tale of his search for famed street artist Banksy. Shepard Fairey, Mr. A (Andre), and Space Invaders aid in his quest and make appearances in the film.

It’s the story of how one man set out to film the un-filmable. And failed.
– Banksy

Here’s the trailer.

The Story of God

Ninja June 10th, 2009

From time to time, I like to add to Penguin’s ever-growing library (his room has so many neat stacks of books that it looks like a stalagmite labyrinth sprouting from his carpet). Usually my selections are art-related like Richard Avedon’s Portraits or Banksy’s Wall and Piece.

After some random browsing, I found The Story of God: A Narrative Theology by Michael Lodahl. Interesting title and a subject I think Penguin would really like. What’s more, it has GORGEOUS cover designed by Arthur Cherry, featuring the typefaces, Restraint by Marian Bantjes and Perpetua.

Purchasing links
+ The Story of God: A Narrative Theology, $22.79
+ Restraint typeface by Marian Bantjes, $45.00

Banksy at Museums

Penguin March 21st, 2008

I love Banksy’s audacity, to just walk into the museum and put stuff up. And the way that he does it, it doesn’t immediately draw attention to itself. It’s only when you view the art that you’ll get a surprise.
