Mini Skate Park
Danny 'Butters' Kizhner put together a mini skate park and decked it out in Good Conduct stickers. Way to represent Good Conduct in Midwood, Brooklyn!
If you have a photo showing Good Conduct stickers displayed in a creative way, we’d love to see it. E-mail us at info@goodconductnyc.com. You can also e-mail us with your name and address and we’ll send you some free stickers.

Quel Beast
Up on the same wall as Superpimp on Marcus Garvey Boulevard are a couple of pieces from Quel Beast.
In his/her own words, "quel beast is an artist", and we can't agree more. Rather than try to describe what the pieces are like, here is his/her own description.
"You know your mirror face? Yeah, my art’s like the opposite of that. The most genuine emotions are the ones you can’t control on your face. It’s the grit and the lines that show our humanity, not the photoshopped smiles we are used to seeing in ads. Perfection as it is sold to us is an unattainable, machinelike capitalist notion. Humanity is dirty, inefficient and real.
Ads on the street are all the same. An image is perfected and mass-produced. My art is imperfectly repeated. I may paint two or three portraits from the same photo and they’ll always look different based on what I notice, learn or accentuate. There isn’t one eternal ideal; there is ephemeral beauty.
When I put art on the street it gets faded, ripped, painted over and eventually dies. It’s a sacrifice to the art gods. It’s a metaphor for our impermanence.
I don’t want to download my brain to a microchip and live forever in the machine. I don’t want there to be ads on the moon. I want to feel something so real in the fleeting moment that it twists my face into an entirely new expression. And then I want to paint it."

Vote or Die
Skaters in Bemidji, MN need your help. They are trying to raise enough money to build the first public custom concrete skatepark in Minnesota.
They are currently in the running to receive a $25,000 grant from Pepsi, but they will only get the funding if they are ranked within the top 10 when voting ends on February 28, 2010. As of this morning, they are ranked 14th.
Each vote for the project gets them one step closer to their goal, so vote!

Snowpocalypse
We may have missed the "Snowmegeddon" that hit D.C. and Philly last weekend, but we couldn't avoid today's big blizzard. Schools and offices were closed throughout the city as we were hit with 10 inches of snow and it's not expected to stop until late this evening.
