“Apartment 5A” a Seinfeld tribute pop-up show with Spoke Art Gallery at Parasol Projects in NYC opening August 16th. I wondered, what would the crew look like if Apartment 5A was in Brooklyn instead of the Upper West Side of Manhattan? Many argue that Kramer was already a hipster. Jerry is a selvedge denim type hipster, Elaine is a Doc Martins feminist hipster. George is a track fixie enthusiast hipster. What’s your alternate Brooklyn Seinfeld fan fiction story? A limited print run will be available of the group pose 18x24″ and also the individual characters 11x14″.

In The Mood For Love 花樣年華 directed by Wong Kar Wai 王家衞. This 24x36″ poster is unlicensed and will live trapped on my computer unless a company wants to pick up the license for distribution. Since I haven’t seen any officially licensed Wong Kar Wai posters in the alternative movie poster world maybe its not possible? This film oozes with style, mood, and tension so much it gives me the chills and makes me have spasms its so good! Director of photography Christopher Doyle brings the good stuff and the score and soundtrack is amazing and creates a perfect marriage of music, writing, art direction, moving image, and vision that Wong Kar Wai does so well. I LOVE this flim! 花样年华 王家卫
