Apparently there’s a sweatshop in China that recreates paintings by famous painters. The good thing is that the paintings aren’t sold as a counterfeit copy of the real thing but just as a recreation of the original. This is much better than a print copy as you can actually feel the textures of the paint and see the brush strokes that the painters decided on.
The company that makes the reproductions states that they have 622 galleries with over 5,000 artists working there and not all work are reproductions. Some are originals.
I can’t imagine what the community is like over there. I guessing that it’s like when I was in art school but with 50 times more people and everyone is Chinese.

Improv Everywhere decided to get 111 dudes to walk into an Abercrombie and Fitch store shirtless. Before they went into the store, they did all the gay things that’s pictured on A&F ads. Then they went into the store and looked at clothes and took pictures. They’ve done this before. I remember seeing them before where they dressed up like employees at a Best Buy and moved slow motion at a Home Depot. Both were kind of amusing but this A&F stunt was funny because of the concept that all A&F customers are like the people pictured in their ads and stores. The Best Buy and Home Depot stunts are just weird.
In what must be an incredible show of patience and preciseness, there are people in this weird world we all share that make a practice of balancing seemingly implacable rocks on top of each other. The result is surreal and quiet beautiful… if for nothing more than its apparent impossibility.
