My dinner with Mr. Andre


In 2004 I took a photo of some graffiti in Venice, Italy, and used an inkjet print of the photo as part of this inkjet/stone lithograph/ letterpress print.

Last week my son gave me The Art of Rebellion, World of Street Art (Christian Hundertmark, Ginko Press) and there was my guy (!) and he belongs to a well-known French artist called Mr. Andre whose work is ALL OVER... (click on photos from the book to see more).

You know, those Disney folks really know their shit: it IS a small world after all.

(Sorry.)

They speak Chinese as we all shall (or will be trying desparately to learn hand signals for) in 10 years or so. The hipster, being the primordial hipster, is not so much an individual as a mythic archtype, kind of like Paris Hilton, but in more of a 50's-beat-poet wanabe context.
