Made U Look Again
After our extensive reporting on the Made U Look whole train and our possibly-misguided-but-we’re-over-it coverage of the Made U Look website selling t-shirts of the feat, we’d be completely remiss not to mention the latest issue of Day in the Lyfe Magazine. It appears to be the Made U Look crew in front of a subway train, but we’re not assuming anything about nothing anymore. As far as we know it might just be a secret show with MF Doom (over on the right) getting ready to kick a rhyme.
Stolen REVS Surfaces on Craiglist
Craigslist is pretty much the one-stop spot for everything you could possibly want: new apartments, better jobs, sketchy “massages”, drunk clowns, cheap bikes, or weirdos as crazy as you are. It’s not surprising then that this is where a 4 foot tall, 80 pound metal sculpture by REVS turns up after being ripped right off the street. We’ve got no love for the collectors (read: assholes) who jack REVS sculptures from the street, but it’s hard to understand why they wouldn’t hold on to this after the trouble of prying one loose.
Just 1500 bones and this baby is yours.

Joy Ride - Bicycle Art Show
Joy Ride, a bicycle art show part of the Bicycle Film Festival, opened last night in downtown Manhattan. Featuring art by ESPO, Swoon, Kareem Black, Daniel Leeb, Steve MacDonald, and many more, the show included everything from sculpture to photographs to paintings and of course, films. Joy Ride runs until the 21st so if you couldn’t catch it last night you still have a chance. Some photos after the jump.

After the ledge on Canal and Mulberry was buffed, somebody asked for a painting and TONEK delivered.
