Beautiful Losers - A must see.

Beautiful Losers celebrates the spirit behind one of the most influential cultural movements of a generation. In the early 1990’s a loose-knit group of likeminded outsiders found common ground at a little NYC storefront gallery. Rooted in the DIY (do-it-yourself) subcultures of skateboarding, surf, punk, hip hop & graffiti, they made art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Developing their craft with almost no influence from the “establishment” art world, this group, and the subcultures they sprang from, have now become a movement that has been transforming pop culture. Starring a selection of artists who are considered leaders within this culture, Beautiful Losers focuses on the telling of personal stories…speaking to themes of what happens when the outside becomes “in” as it explores the creative ethos connecting these artists and today’s youth.

Dream TDK

Check out this shot! I grabbed it from Kween Genee (Sucka Free, Honey Dip). I was talking with Chris G about Dream, he brought up a good point. He would probably be capitalizing on the scene. Look at Futura, Stash, Haze, KR, Neon, etc…

Dream was one of the most talented, well rounded writers in the history of graff. He bombed with mad flava and his tags look like the could be pieces and all his pieces are classic!

Beautiful Losers’ Make Something Workshop!

Nike Sportswear presents

Beautiful Losers’ MAKE SOMETHING!!

Beginning August 8th [8.8.08], Nike Sportswear is proud to present Beautiful Losers’ MAKE SOMETHING!!, a series of community and youth-oriented creative workshops in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Working with public school art programs and youth mentoring programs, MAKE SOMETHING!! will invite local children to participate in creative workshops such as sign painting, photography, skateboard graphic design, toy design, filmmaking, tattoo art, footwear design and zine making. Workshops will be hosted by renowned artists from the Beautiful Losers “do-it-yourself” art subculture, which include Ed Templeton, Tobin Yelland, Geoff McFetridge, Shepard Fairey, Mike Mills, Todd James, Cheryl Dunn, Kaws, Mr. Cartoon and Aaron Rose. The work created in each location will form a continually evolving exhibition, which will be open to the public to view.

Nike Sportswear has a longstanding relationship with Beautiful Losers, having first partnered with founder and curator Aaron Rose in 2005, which saw the creation of two limited Beautiful Losers inspired Nike Blazer Hi shoes. Rose, director of this summer’s Beautiful Losers film documentary said “Nike and Beautiful Losers share the belief that if you believe in something, then you should make it, regardless if people tell you that you can’t.”

Check out a one of one dunk made esp for Beautiful Losers. Detail is amazing. It’s not clear viny, it’s an actual cut from to create a seamless image experience.
