JR in The Observer

Over the weekend, there was a large-ish article on JR in The Observer. I think JR is pretty amazing, so I’m excited to see him getting recognition in such a popular magazine. Hopefully it will help him raise some money for whatever his next project is. The article may randomly compare JR to Banksy as the lead, but otherwise it’s very insightful. Odd random tidbit: JR is a bit of a hipster, which might explain why he takes so many photos…

You can read the full article on Guardian.co.uk.

D*face goes to Hollywood

Well the Oscars were Sunday night, and two good things came out of them: 1. Avatar didn’t win best picture, and 2. D*Face put some new statues in LA. D*Face made two 7-foot tall modified Oscars and put one outside of Mel’s Drive-In and the other in Runyon Canyon Park.

Personally, I think the giant Oscars are a bit much, but I love this regular-sized one. D*face aught to send them to all the actual Oscar winners.
