Jewelry designer Pamela Love + her favorite artists have collaborated with Dossier magazine to include a set of temporary tattoos (all the rage these days, apparently) in their latest issue! Who wouldn't want to sport doodles of the California Raisin on their arms?

Cargo Collective strikes again, this time with "Invitation to an Assassination"--a series of graphic design prints that re-interpret famous assassinations as minimalist posters.

Artist Andrew Myers has been creating these amazing portraits with painted screws--a labor of love, he calls it.

West-coast street artist Cali Killa has been a subject of controversy since Urban Outfitters ripped off one of his images to sell graphic t-shirts; the artist has just won a legal battle with the clothing company=damges+return of all inventory! What's he doing with the shirts? Selling them on his own site, starting Sept. 30th.

Sensu: the artist brush for iPad. 'Nuff said.

MOMA has just begun a second edition of Yeonghwa, a film series on contemporary Korean film--check out the upcoming dates!

If you're a New Yorker, you've most likely heard of the Occupy Wall St. protest that happened this past week: the event has been making waves through the interwebz--check out this video of protestors disrupting a Sotheby's Auction, showing solidarity with the Art Handler's Union.

Speaking of that protest, the art industry is a sensitive topic, apparently.

Although other countries may be dealing with merging art and money in a healthier way. What happens when you mash together an elitist school of economics and street art? You get ...CAPITALISM? --a project brought together by the Norweigian School of Economics and Nuart, a street art festival. 5 street artists were invited to say, on the huge blank walls of the university buildings, what capitalism means to them. Check out the video + images of the walls!
