If you're not familiar with ffffound.com it showcases photos and illustrations you'll actually want to browse every day. It's both random and beautiful and never feels stale. I would be more specific, but honestly, it's more fun to explore ffffound on your own.
This web service not only allows the user to post and share their favorite images found on the web, but also dynamically recommends each user's tastes and interests for an inspirational image-bookmarking experience!!
I've been using ffffound for quite a while now... When adding images and building up a library you start to notice trends, subjects, people, colours and products which you bookmark on a regular basis. I thought I would post a different category up here every Friday... Enjoy!

Daniel and Geo Fuchs in Toysland

Jose Parla Opens ‘Adaptation/Translation’ Show
"New York City may not look like the colorful graffiti version of the ’80s, but luckily we still have legends like EASE to remind us of the work that the old school put in. Despite being rasied in Miami, EASE a.k.a. José Parlá came up like most of today’s crossover stars from graf’s golden era (HAZE, REAS), bringing his signature overlapping calligraphy style from the streets to fine art galleries worldwide. Last week, he finally took his work overseas for his first London exhibit “Adaptation/Translation.”
On display through November 8 at Elms Lesters Painting Rooms, a British gallery known for featuring installations from KAWS, Futura, and STASH, “Adaptation/Translation” finds Parlá using ruined walls as his canvas. The gallery is also commemorating the occasion by publishing 1,000 copies of a book that features Parlá’s work."
I'm sure this would be well worth a visit!

Man On Wire
On August 7th 1974, a young Frenchman named Philippe Petit stepped out on a wire illegally rigged between New York’s twin towers, then the world’s tallest buildings. After nearly an hour dancing on the wire, he was arrested, taken for psychological evaluation, and brought to jail before he was finally released. James Marsh’s documentary brings Petit’s extraordinary adventure to life through the testimony of Philippe himself, and some of the co-conspirators who helped him create the unique and magnificent spectacle that became known as “the artistic crime of the century.
