Unveiled: Goodwill Murals in Spanish Harlem

Congratulations to Kevin Ragnott on his amazing job with the two murals he painted at the brand new Goodwill Industries department store in Spanish Harlem on E121st & 3rd Ave.

The pieces were auctioned off for charity, raising about $4,000 to benefit the Torii Hunter Project. Athletes Torii Hunter and Mariano Rivera (sponsored by Purple) were both in attendance. The event also included some very special performances by Talib Kweli & Pete Rock.

Big thanks to Dave, Remy, and the rest of the crew at Purple.

Something Fresh: Aaron Ginsberg & Ducksworth

Check out fresh stuff from a former ArtBattles Champion Aaron Ginsberg.


Aside from painting live, Ginsberg is one-half of the culture and couture conglomerate known as Ducksworth.
His latest endeavor is simply scripted, Aaron. His first series from the project fuses fashion with fine art and is entitled "Bone Soil."
You can read about it on his blog, The Dover Chester.

And if you're interested in the tank tops, they'll be available in mid-late May. Just in time for the sun.
