I have received several inquiries about whether or not I was involved in a piece of art seen in Iron Man 2. I’m friends with the Iron Man movie’s production designer Michael Riva who, along with his wife Wendy, was a big Obama supporter. He asked if I’d mind a HOPE poster spoof in Iron Man and I said “of course not”. I did not personally design the image, nor was I paid for it. All of the Obama HOPE spoofs, positive or negative, are a reminder of the power and importance of grassroots activism to affect things. Additionally, neither is it possible to copyright a style, nor would I want to restrict visual dialog by discouraging others from paying tribute to styles I have used.
Shepard Fairey.
Cool of him, but I guess since he steals things all the time. I still love him anyway, and talk about aging well. Has anyone seen this man? He looks literally half his age. As in my age. But he's really nearly 40. Young soul much?
And, back to body image, the May Free People Catalog looks so, so good. I love the models they chose. As usual, the clothes are adorable, unique, and overpriced. Love 'em any way. Thank you my friend Grace for mentioning it to me, and thanks to my dear mother Katia for being a magazine junkie and supplying me. Without fail, there's always a stack waiting on any given table in my house.
Miami summer begins today, I'm happy.
♥ Lini.
