These Birds Walk subscription series 2 contains four artists books by photographers Todd Hido, Marianne Mueller, Abner Nolan, and Alex Soth.  For the small price of $100 (the more expensive signed edition of 50 is sold out), one of the unsigned/hand-numbered edition of 650 books will be delivered to you every 3 months. A gift that keeps on giving. While you’re at it, think about picking up the first series as well which features Mike Brodie, Jim Goldberg, Ari Marcopoulos, and Paul Schiek.

It seems that New Orleans has the potential to become the new Street Art Capital of America.  An interesting cityscape with a multitude of surfaces to create on, its temperature is conducive to early morning missions.There is even a character, the Gray Ghost, who plays out the perfect storyline of Hero-artist / Hero-villian. Banksy has left his mark here, and now New York’s street art ‘goddess’ SWOON is decorating the streets of the Big Easy.  Her graceful cut-outs will surely win over the city just as they have won over New Yorkers and the world abound. And honestly, if the art critic of the biggest paper in town gets to make awesome videos like the one above (My favorite quote coming at 1:37) than let it be and hope the artists keep coming.  Cheap living, warm weather, and easy booze.  Sounds like the future.

This past summer, Shepard Fairey redesigned the covers of the penguin classic books 1984 and Animal Farm.  In a great move, these cover designs are now available as signed prints, each in an edition of 200. When they sell out, at least get a copy of the book.  Best 1984 cover ever.
