Giants
December 13th - via: kickstarter.com
Ryan McGinley is one of my favorite artists. A giant, man. The above photo is gorgeous but I love how real his NSFW gets. His work seems to look directly into his life. It's dirty and wet and amazing. My work feels alien to it. I weave a web of... (Read More)

Succinct Baseball Debate
December 1st - via: kickstarter.com
