Starting Pitcher: You, Sucka!!
Fantastic animated piece, the wild story of Dock Ellis and the LSD No-No. Really a landmark event in the history of drugs and baseball (and their long sordid relationship): Ellis pitched a no-hitter on June 12, 1970 (while high on acid) versus the Padres. Brought to you by No Mas and artist James Blagden. Enjoy!

Calgary Graffiti Project Bombs
A graffiti mural was set to liven up Shaw Millenium Park, and mentor young artists over the next few months. Instead it’s become a giant PR nightmare for the City of Calgary, who supplied that paint (but not the proper supervision and guidelines) that was subsequently used to vandalize most of the park. Downtown Alderman [...]

Conceived by Mike Giles and Annie Lam and co-curated by Bob Kronbauer of www.clubmumble.com fame, “Smile On Your Brother” , is an art show centered around the original shape of skateboards when they [...]
