HOUSE BALL!

R246 / AKIRA TAKATA

@ LAST GALLERY, TKO



http://akiratakata.com/

Akira Takata (known more as a skate photographer) followed the crew around for a while... catching some great candid shots and late night action. The (mega-thin) gallery is decked out in black vinyl, leading you by a rusty old bus-stop seat, to the back room installation of pics. Upstairs is a new and interesting shop worth visiting for those in the trade.

Last Gallery doesn't really have a website, but this blog gets you there sometimes - http://revisit.jugem.jp/ or have a sniff around shirogane eki.

DUMB have some pics up too.

They have good underground stuff on - recently had a zines library, mostly street stuff - by which I mean grimey tags, not stencil art. Also had the Wanto/Fanta show on last year... QP... Good spot, yo.

word to the third

ACKERS:

this is here so i remember to watch it from time to time. 1:55!!! mad styling/profiling dance moves + ostrich.
we put one of kid acne's zebraface comics in keychain' zine back in '99, but i hadn't caught up with his rap career until just now.



and can't drop UK rap without london posse stopping by for a cuppa:


while you are there, check out money mad!! this is 1990 we are talking about here! best stop, before i take a sideways step and get re-caught up in the hip-house/acid-house scene.

RAP’S TUPAC DIES – 子供が描いたTupacの似顔絵Zine
Posted by Yosuke K., Date:7月 29, 2010

最近、東京でちょくちょく遭遇するMark ( Makingends )に会った際にこんなZineをもらいました。子供が描いたTupacの似顔絵を集めてもの。

2PACは96年に25歳の若さで亡くなったことを考えると、すごいことだなーおそらく生まれてない子たちもいるでしょ。まだそれだけ影響力があるんですね。
下のYouTubeの動画は三千万回以上再生されていて、まだコメントが足されてました。

ちなみに、これが2号目らしく、07年に1号目を作ったらしい。
Markはグラフィックアーティストで作ってるものもカッコいいのでチェックYO。
Zineはどこかで手に入るのかな？今度聞いてみます。
