Chance the Rapper playing in the background, I had a sit down cigarette in Bushwick, Brooklyn with Hip-hop loving, ex-UFC fighting photographer Koa Pennock. (interviewed by Christopher Klimovski) Thanks for meeting with me for this cigarette buddy. Anything for you. Tell us a bit about who you are and what you do: I want to first thank you for asking me first who I am, and THEN what I do. I’ve never liked being defined by the latter. I’m Koa. I moved from Seattle when i was 20 and now I roam around New York City on foot day and night doing whatever. Eating, dancing, taking pictures. …

Temporary Rub-On Jewelry
Temporary jewelry has never looked this fun. Flash Tattoos has taken the concept of temporary tattoos and turned it into wearable metallic pieces that mimic real jewelry. Necklaces, bracelets, rings, and even intricate geometric designs can be applied directly to the skin, giving the effect of delicate metal without the commitment.

Illustrations by Kaethe Butcher (probably NSFW)
Beautiful illustrated depictions by artist Kaethe Butcher featuring lezgirl centric topics. The images are very raunchy but also have depth and romance. I assume like most passionate relationships. Symbolic with the occasional written statement nuzzled in the story. Enjoy the images below. source:

Art by Justin Mortimer
From a body suspended by the neck to an unclothed consumed by encroaching forest fires, Mortimer’s paintings do not shy away from discomfort. The scenes are carefully composed, with precise attention to light, texture, and detail that amplifies the sense of unease. Each work feels like a glimpse into private torment, capturing confusion, vulnerability, and the darker edges of the human experience.

Music Video: Azealia Banks – Heavy Metal and Reflective
Recently broken free from Interscope Records, Azealia Banks releases her new music video titled Heavy Metal and Reflective. A motocross desert kidnapping, leaving her tied to a chair. This can be viewed symbolizing her very public disagreements with her previous record label. Obviously she’s not with Interscope Records anymore so you basically know how the video will end. The video is heavy on taste, style and symbolism. Not too much of a streamline story but enough to get the point across. Hopefully now that Banks is doing her own thing we will be seeing her releasing new stuff like a bat outta hell. Enjoy the music video below. I love…

Happy Never After
The power of the series lies in contrast. Saint Hoax uses polished, recognizable imagery and overlays it with bruises, swelling, and expressions of exhaustion or fear. The result is deeply uncomfortable, but that discomfort is central to the work’s purpose. Domestic violence is not abstract or distant, and the artist removes the option for detachment by placing it within a visual language that most people recognize instantly.

Clemency by artist Jessica Slagle
Like an eclectic kaleidoscope artist Jessica Slagle’s series titled Clemency Catches your attention and makes your eyes soak up the information placed before you. Each piece beautifully saturated by symbolism. Much that we assume is personal to the artist and experience specific. That being said we were curious and asked the backstory behind her favorite piece, that also happens to be the one that started the series. She tells graveravens:“My favorite piece in this series is the first piece that I created for it. About a year ago, I started really getting into yoga. I was going through a pretty rough time and I found that taking 3-5 classes a week worked better…
