Shepard Fairey and Kenny Scharf in The Simpsons
Shepard Fairey + Kenny Scharf to appear in THE SIMPSONS
Wow, not sure what it means to be on The Simpsons as a cameo but I imagine it's got to be pretty fuckin' cool! The seminal Matt Groening animated sitcom celebrated its landmark 500th episode last night. In the wake of this news, the Hollywood Reporter learns that some famous graffiti artists – some of whom we’ve covered in these pages – will be joining the cast for the March 4 episode.
The episode is called “Exit Through the Kwik-E-Mart,” an obvious homage to Banksy’s Oscar-nominated film from 2010 (Exit Through the Gift Shop), and focuses on Bart’s newfound fascination with street art. Shepard Fairey, Kenny Scharf, Ron English, and Robbie Conal all cameo as the crew who busts Bart and Milhouse in the act of vandalism.
In order to get back at his dad, Bart goes undercover as a graffiti street artist and plasters Homer’s unflattering image all over Springfield. But one night, Bart and Milhouse get caught in the act by established street artists Shepard Fairey, Ron English, Kenny Scharf and Robbie Conal (guest voicing as themselves), and to Bart’s surprise, they invite him to exhibit his satirical artwork in his very own gallery show.
Shepard Fairey wrote the following on his website:
The Simpsons has been one of my favorite shows since the early 90′s. When I was running my screen printing studio in Providence R.I. my crew and I lead a Spartan existence consisting of long hours and a seven day work week. Our only recreational indulgence ritual was to stop work early Sunday evenings to eat dinner together while watching the Simpsons. I’ve always loved the Simpsons blend of humor and social commentary, so it is a huge honor for me to appear as a guest character on the March 4th episode.

Fernando Carpaneda Sculpture
"My sculptures are connected directly to my lifestyle and my position as an artist within gay culture and within the punk movement. My sculptures are a public diary, where I represent the way I live, and the people that I have met at some moment of my life"-Fernando Carpaneda

the art of
fernando carpaneda
Brazilian born sculptor Fernando Carpandeda, based in NYC, is one of the first Brazilian visual artists to divulge and exhibit systematically homoerotic works. What amazed me is that each man has own its charactor with highly detailed work (make-up, hair, tattoo, outfits...etc) from a mixture of gay art with the punk movement and street culture he discribes as underground scene, which are somehow attractive subject to me. His miniature men are photogenic in all angles to look from. Fernando is a talented artist who is not afraid of challenging the boundaries of artistic practice and confronting viewers with the issues of stigma and division in modern society. source

Empezar desde Cero
Siempre tenemos que empezar algo desde cero.
Si el Universo se hizo a partir de cero, dentro del campo de toda potencialidad y bajo la direccion de DIOS- Divinidad Infinita Omnipresente Superior- entonces por supuesto que este simple blogpost tiene que empezar desde cero tambien.
Por favor, perdonen los acentos, a veces salen y a veces no.
No conozco de plataformas multilingues.
Por que el nombre artistico de jesusjay?
Bueno, simplemente porque yo lo decidi.
en 1979, en saint petersburg, florida me toco vivir una experiencia que me marco profundamente. yo no hablaba ingles y con apenas 13 anos lo unico que sabia era decir "I don't speak english"
Cuando la maestra de ciencia del septimo grado, una senora gorda negra con cara de brava leyo la lista del salon se quedo petrificada al leer mi nombre completo.
Jesus.......J-e-s-u-s R-o-j-a-s?
ja ja ja ha ha ha he he he
Todo el salon se empezo a burlar de mi, incluso recuerdo unos companeritos que se acercaron y me pellizcaron, eres el jesus de verdad?
ja ja ja ha ha ha he he he
que verguenza y que complejo se creo desde entonces con el nombre de jesus.
En los estados unidos, el nombre jesus significa cristo. nadie ha tenido el atrevimiento de llamarse cristo despues del propio cristo.
por lo tanto, cuando me residencie en Miami en 1995, decidi que mi nombre seria "jay," j en ingles se pronuncia jay o "yei" en espanol.
jesusjay es un ser humano Venezolano-Estadounidense, que vive en miami desde 1995.
Nací en caracas a las 3:30 am del día 12 del calendario Gregoriano, el mismo día de nacimiento de Maharishi Mahesh Yogi y Swami Vivekananda, pero mi año fue de mil novecientos sesenta y seis.
Algunas personas cuando me preguntan que año naci, se quedan como pensando "oh 66...666?
entonces les digo si, soy el diablo disfrazado de jesus.
esa honorable coincidencia de fechas yo la veo como una Santísima Coincidencia Cósmica.
Seis más seis son 12 y 12 son los meses de un año, 12 discípulos....
si quieres sigueme en twitter donde pongo noticias de arte, ciencia y espiritualidad.
ABB,
Jesusjay
MY FIRST POST
Who is JesusJay?
JesusJay, is my artistic name. I'm a Venezuelan-American citizen living in the U.S. since 1995.
I was born at 3:30 am in Caracas, on the 12th day of the Gregorian Calendar year, on the same birthday as Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Swami Vivekananda but my year was one thousand nine hundred and sixty six.
Some people panic when I tell them that my number is 66, they go "Uh, 66 like 666?
And I say to them, yes it's the devil portraying Jesus.
To be born on the same day of my beloved masters, is indeed a Blessed Cosmic Coincidence.
Six plus six is 12, and 12 months, 12 disciples,
I was born on January 12th, 1966.
Why the name JesusJay?
Well, it's a pretty funny story. I created that name when I came back to the U.S. for the second time in 1995.
The name Jesus in Spanish is a common name as Joseph or John. In the U.S. Jesus is synonymous with Christ.
I was only 13 the first time I was bullied. I was in seven grade in Middle School in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
One day, our Science teacher, a big black lady with a tough face was calling the list and when she got to my name she went like "Jesus, J-e-s-u-s Rojas?
LOL he he he
I remember feeling my face burning "red" of embarrassment. From that moment on I had issues with that name.
So if you are American and don't want to call me Jesus, then call me Jay and if you are Hispanic or Latino and don't want to call me Jay, then call me Jesus.
If you like both, then call me
JesusJay

9 Years ago today, The Station nightclub in West Warwick, Rhode Island went up in flames. 101 people lost their lives that night. Tonight I honor the victims and their families with a prayer and a blessing for such an unfortunate disaster. All my love....

KIDULT video 'ILLEGALWORLD"
I've been trying to avoid the KIDULT topic, because he is already very famous from super-tagging some of the most famous label shop windows around the globe, and instantly getting the video on the web. And on top of that, I have a tendency to avoid giving more attention to the obvious attention seeker in general, but what about him? Do I love it or hate it? my answer is "I don't know". But I've been noticing that as an ex- fashion designer, I no longer have any urge to consume products from those fashion brand empires, like the stores that were attacked by KIDULT ( see below). I'd rather consume products made locally to me in the USA: and support small production runs with an eco-conscious strategy and cruelty free. Some people think that Capitalism faces collapse on a global scale and I'm not so sure about that. But what's obvious to me is that it doesn't work as we once hoped in 80's.
KIDULT reminds us what direct action graffiti is about : protest and expressing yourself in a creative way, even if for most people its vandalism…

2012 and the Mayan Calendar
The end of the world? Again?
No. The world is moving towards a shift to higher consciousness. Now is the time to become more aware. More aware of your surroundings. More aware of your feelings. More aware of your dreams.
Everything is about balance. Light and dark. Good and bad. The coming shift is no different and now is as good a time as any to notice how us humans have disrespected the Earth. It is also a perfect time to commend ourselves for making moves towards restoring the balance and showing respect for our planet. The time is now to take responsibility for all of our good deeds as well as negative aspects.

I love twitter! To me it is the perfect way to interact with strangers without being too accessible to their personal lives. A friend that I introduced to twitter told me she thought it was for the stars. I began to tell her no but then I thought about it and simply said yes, because in our own right we are all stars. It was on twitter that I met a beautiful young lady and I had to share her with the world but instead of a Q & A session I asked her to share her life with us. I hope you find her as interesting as I do.
Kisses Bougie.
Meet Zuri
Location: Washington, DC
Bio:
"In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different." ~ Coco Chanel
Tracey, also known as Zuri, which means Beautiful in Swahili, is a lover of fashion, music and life. I am 28 yr old single, young, aspiring model/singer, born and raised in Washington, DC. I am a graduate of St. John's College High School, were I was in the school choir. After graduating I then went on to study music at Virginia Union University, but my love for music and singing came from being in church. That’s where it started. I have always had a love for music every since I was little, but not only have I had a love for music, but I have a love for fashion as well. I have always wanted to model, but didn't think tall or small enough to pursue it. I always wanted to be a model because fashion is a deep passion of mine. To be a model, it takes more than just a pretty face. I think modeling is an expressive art form and tells a story without words. You can show movement in a still picture, and I think that is incredible to be able to have that skill. I want to be known as the alluring beauty with voluptuous curves. I love my curves because they are a part of me. They help make me the woman that I have grown to love today. This is the body that God gave me, why shouldn't I love them. They make me feel sexy, sassy and confident. As Coco Chanel said “A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.” My all time favorite model would have to be Marilyn Monroe. I loved her confidence and how she was not afraid to be herself. She didn’t care what anyone had to say about her and you just had to love her. My favorite color is pink, I love stepping out in a pair of my highest heels and my hottest outfit, feeling like I am on top of the world. Some of my hobbies include traveling, meeting new people, listening to music, singing, taking pictures, reading, watching sports, dancing and of course shopping. I love motorcycles and plan on owning one really soon. I am also big on family, because my family has always been there for me. We are very close even if we do get on each other’s nerves from time to time, but what family doesn't have its ups and downs. My family is very supportive of me in everything that I do, and for that I am grateful.
