You may remember last month I posted this pic of a NYC straphanger that bore an UNCANNY resemblance to 19th century genius painter, Vincent Van Gogh. The pic went viral (before I posted it) and I got in touch with the look-alike himself, Robert Reynolds, who turned out to be a friend of a friend and interviewed him. I asked Robert to stay in touch, and he just sent me the first episode of The Van Gogh Show. It’s clever, not knee-snappingly funny, but it references multiple sources, just as meta Van Gogh should. Watch.

This doesn’t need much explanation, really. I’m feeling a little guilty here, as I promised by buddy Christopher a paint by number full sleeve tattoo and I still haven’t delivered. I will. Soon – and if/when it makes it onto his arm, you know I’ll share it here. In the meantime, check out these classics. The shot below is very timely with the Koons retrospective up at the Whitney and belongs to my pal musician Bushwala, aka Billy Galewood. He’s on tour this August so you could hear and see it (him) in the flesh. I don't think I need to tell you the inspiration for the others – they're like art flash-cards – rather, FLESH cards.
