LA ART WEEKEND PT 2:BILL McMULLEN: HUSTLE,HYPE,RIPOFF
Bill McMullens my old friend/coworker/homie had a show at the Constant Gallery across the street from Kaws show at Honor Fraser. I love Bill he’s a great guy I used to play ball with him and I’m always psyched to see the guy. He’s a great artist/designer/thinker and his show was a fine example of the mind fuckery Bill likes to deal with. Bravo my dude!
This was purchased by a certain Beastie Boy
StarBucks camo….Best shit ever an example of Bills humor and warped sense of humor….Guys brilliant
This piece is my shit……Too bad someone copped it before I could…
Coca Cola,Starbucks and Malboro camo…The war of consumerism……I wonder how many people got this metaphor?
Friends and Family:
Selim,Dollar Bill McMullen, OG Tony Swish Chan, Adam Yacuh aka MCA and Myself celebrating the moment….Bill’s show was nothing short of brilliant, his insight and sense of humor ahead of the cuve like always. I worked with a young Bill at Def Jam where he was one of the many talented art directors under the guise of the Drawing Board. Dollar bills an amazing talent a triple threat of sorts he is a master of Graphic design, Fine art/social commentary and film/video. Talk about creative visual multi tasking!
Hats of the Mr. Mcmullen your show was full of playful inspirations and it’s always great to see one my my peers/friends at the top of his game!
Congrats homie!
