Explicit Content Only on Wax
In 2005 I released a curse words only version of N.W.A.'s classic album Straight Outta Compton. Now 3 years later with the help of Inge Records it is available on vinyl. Side A is the original and Side B has been updated with the Explicit Content Only version of Eazy-E's Eazy Duz It.

Graffiti Taxonomy Prints
In 2004 I released a project called Graffiti Taxonomy and since then I have been receiving regular email requests to make prints and posters. I have recently revisited the project and am now releasing my first ever series of limited edition signed and numbered prints. The Lower East Side 'E' was created from tags photographed in March of 2008. It is the first in an ongoing series of graffiti character studies titled 'A,E,I,O,U'. The prints were made by master printers right here in Brooklyn and can be purchased at the new ni9e store.
(More photos up here).
The original project is archived here, and I have also made a poster version of the 'S' series, taken from photographs shot in the Lower East Side in 2004. The poster can be purchased here.

Youtube Clip Buys Its Own Views
This was an experiment we did last semester w/ Mr. G. Barlow as part of the Internet Famous course at Parsons (season II coming next semester). A couple of things we learned in the process:
1) You can buy your way into awards such as "Most Viewed Per Day/Week/Month" in a given category (in our case How To & Style)
2) Youtube view count vs unique visitors (tracked independently from youtube) match up pretty close when buying famo (44,716 Youtube views and 57,663 unique visitors) .
3) In our experience if you pay for 100,000 visitors it will translate into roughly 45,000 youtube views.
4) If you're paying to drive traffic to a youtube clip on autoplay you'll get banned if there is audio.
The stats page is publicly available here if you're interested in doing further research in famo studies. Original project page here
