A collection if artists pay tribute to one of the most iconic cartoon shows of all-time He-Man. Artists had the task of taking the Masters of the Universe and re-appropriating it under their own contexts which effectively created some stunning and relatable works of art.

Back in 1949, LIFE magazine photographer Gjon Mili visited artist Picasso. Having shown one of the greatest talents of all-time the art of light painting and drawing, this immediately piqued the interest of the artist who subsequently did his own little rendition.

T-shirt Retrospective feature from Teen Vogue





Who says guys can't have fun with fashion? That's what we were reminded of after viewing NYC designer Brian Wood's t-shirt retrospective at downtown Envoy Gallery. The young Wood launched his first pop-art-inspired t-shirt collection in 2003, after graduating from Pratt and interning for labels like Anna Sui and Sean John. Such a resume resonates in his t-shirt designs, which strike a balance between tongue-in-cheek and urban chic. At last night's presentation, models cleverly posed behind hanging gallery frames wearing some of Wood's greatest hits. (We especially loved the screen-printed Mickey Mouse tee from his Fall 2008 "Save New York" collection.) In recent years, Wood has branched out into full menswear collections, bringing his out-there approach to design with him--look out for his Navy-versus-pirates spring line to debut later this year. If you've got a guy that could use a major style upgrade--or to snag one of Wood's tees for yourself--visit brianwoodonline.com for more info.
