Monday Eye Burn

E is for Egads! Reka wrecks.

Apologies for disappearing on you. Returned from Oz to find vapors in the bank account. So I’ve been back on the grind.

Here are things I’ve been meaning to show for a long time. Melbourne’s brilliant Koan and Kano arranged for the amazing art at the Red Bull Music Academy. I missed their Letterheads exhibition, but now you don’t have to. Check the rest of the Nice Produce site for Ozzy’s illest streetwear.

Wake up in the morning, what do I see? (Photo by Peter Dean Rickards)

Jamrock’s illest eyes belong to Afflicted, and he’s preparing a photobook to drop early next year. Here’s a preview of some of his soulful shots from Harlem. I don’t need to tell you about the Afflicted Yard, do I?

Even if Rickards didnt spoil his shots with his venemous m.o., I’d still be put off by the glorification of guns and skinny gyals. When’s enuff enuff?

Afflictedyard has been consistently crazy for years. I love the photography and the stories are extremely strange.
