On February 18th, 2010 from 6p – 9p the world will get to preview and purchase the “Lost Art of Inglourious Basterds” at The Upper Playground Art Gallery in Downtown Los Angeles. All proceeds from this program will be donated to The American Red Cross to help the victims of the Haiti Earthquake. Each print will be numbered and signed by Quentin Tarantino. Only six (6) of each amount will be made. The prints can be viewed at http://www.upperplayground.com/inglouriousbasterds.php beginning Tuesday February 15, 2010.

If I was not in art school and did not have an endless amount of fabric, charcoal and paper to pay for I would dip into my pocket and purchase one, even at the steep price of $300. Sigh. To view all of the prints in this fabulous collection click here.

I have heard about Swarovski’s “CRYSTALLIZED Meets 12 Tokyo Brands” exhibition but had yet to see any part of it. Here is the first look at CRYSTALLIZED Skagway. Each sneaker was customized with two-tone Swarovski crystal stripes across the tongue, in three different color ups. From seeing this, I am going to look further into the exhibition.
