The super come up: Patrick Nagel book

Went to Walden Pond Books on Grand Ave in The Town yesterday to look for some vintage James Bond books, and came across this...



For only 15 bucks.

Patrick Nagel is one of my favorite artists of all time. I'm an 80's baby through and through, so his art definitely strikes a cord with me. He died way too early in his life, but his work is classic for the time it represented, and it'll always hold a place in my heart.







More info about him here as well.

Janelle Monae

She is the truth. I know that's such a cliche, but even if lies didn't exist, she'd still be a truer truth than the most.

So anyways, MUA extrordinaire, and overall downass homegirl Aja, just posted a couple days ago that Ms. Monae's first single for Bad Boy is gonna be "Many Moons". Here's the cover:



Her aesthetic is nice.

Here she is doing her thing in Oakland last year. Video courtesy of Mr. Trackademicks.
