Phantom Magazine: Debut Issue

2009-06-22T02:01:00.001-05:00

Phantom is a work in progress magazine. It is based on the concept of the Phantom artist, a collaborative effort put forth by many individuals in the hopes of creating a singular, cohesive piece of work that is only identified by the moniker of "Phantom" and not by the individual artists creating the work. If you are interested in collaborating and creating,well hell just about anything will go, just email:

phantom_magazine@yahoo.com

to get more details on what the next issue will be featuring. This effort is being made to create an alternative to the same old boring art magazines. All submissions and ideas are welcome, do not be afraid to submit your wonderful visions.

Banksy on the move in New Orleans

2008-08-29T16:44:00.000-05:00

From The New York Times:
As New Orleans faces another potentially destructive storm, the street artist known as Banksy has created more than a dozen murals around the city, including the one shown above. The murals depict a variety of scenes, including Abraham Lincoln as a homeless man pushing a basket, a marching band wearing gas masks, an old man in a rocking chair with an American flag below the words “No Loitering,” and a boy on a swing made out of a life preserver. According to a statement released by Banksy on Thursday, the murals were created in response to Fred Radtke, an antigraffiti campaigner also known as the Gray Ghost, who uses gray paint to cover up graffiti. The statement also said, “Three years after Katrina I wanted to make a statement about the state of the clean up operation.”
