The Date Farmers at Fifty24SF


Tomorrow night at Fifty24SF in San Francisco two of our favorite artists, Carlos Ramirez and Armando Lerma of The Date Farmers, will be opening up their newest 'solo' show. The show, 'Strange Fruit,' is influenced by "the everyday stories, social politics and myths that take place and unfold around us on a daily [basis]." What that means for the art and this show is more of the great scavenged, sculpted, and painted works they've become infamous for now. Check out the video above to learn more about them.

STEN & LEX Killing It

stlex02.jpg
Sten & Lex sent over a heatwarming email about their summer travels. According to their email "this summer we travelled all over Africa, Asia and South America killing all poor people... During the pauses we paint." Who'd imagine they created these works (from the Pop Up! Festival in Anconca, Italy) while taking a break from a bloodbath of the indigent. Does this look like the work of a master killer? I prefer to look at it like masters at killing it. Read on for one more.
