FAMOUS FOR 15 MINUTES: My Years With Andy Warhol (1998) Ultra Violet; Hardcover
Warhol/Pop Art/Art/New York Hardcover, Used (Ex)
Relying on memory, diaries, tapes, recorded phone calls and interviews, as well as on printed matter, Dufresne (aka Ultra Violet), assisted by freelancer Black, tells about her experiences as an Andy Warhol Queen of Pop. After recalling briefly her schoolgirl days in France, she describes her affairs with John Graham, Salvador Dali and Edward Rusche, her carryings-on in New York society, bizarre happenings at Warhol's famous loft, The Factory, her impressions of Edie Sedgwick, Viva and Norman Mailer, the making of light-shows and stupefyingly dull movies, Warhol's fascination with celebrities and his desire to become a male Marilyn Monroe. Trying to account for Warhol's attractiveness and the fact that he remained famous for 25 years, not just 15 minutes, she cites his enigmatic quality, his insistence on taking the mystery out of art, and his treatment of everyone with the same compelling immediacy. Yet she also sees the pre-1968 artist, sorcerer, conjuror and diabolist succeeded by the businessman, money-man and accumulator of his later years. Like Warhol's film Chelsea Girls , this book may be regarded as "half Bosch and half bosh." Glitz in a bygone era best describes this personal account of a world of art, drugs, and sex, as told by one of Warhol's constant companions of the Sixties, Ultra Violet. Ultra Violet (ne Isabelle Dufresne) tells the story of parallel lives, hers and Warhol's, from birth to superstars of the Sixties to Warhol's death in 1987. She focuses on the infamous Factory at its peak with its regulars, Edie Sedgwick, Rod le Rod, and Vivaas well as its celebrity visitors, Bob Dylan, Truman Capote, and John Lennon, among others. Fascinating reading, shocking, graphic, and entertaining.

Apparently the story which goes with this magazine cover, In 1993, Razor Ramon was hot fire in the WWF, garnering a huge reaction in a short time to become one of the most popular wrestlers in the company. When this magazine cover came out, which was Razor Ramon (Scott Hall)’s first ever magazine cover, he went back to the town where he lived, found the magazine rack, propped every issue of WWF Magazine across the top of the rack, and stood next to it. When people passed by the rack, Hall would get their attention and say, “Hey! …that’s me!”

Roll up for a Euro cult experience like no other, with kitschy fashion shoots, back alley abortions, blow-up sex dolls and some very indelicate humor, as one of the most notoriously sleazy gialli ever!

When she wakes up in the middle of the procedure and dies of a massive coronary, the doctor and assistant take the woman's body to her house, place her in a bathtub full of water and make it look like she drowned in her bathtub of natural causes.

DJ Q-BERT Wave Twisters (Special Edition Director's Cut) 2003; DVD
Hip Hop/Animated/Turntables/Art/Sci-fi DVD, Used (Rare)
This is no second rate animated Hip-Hop affair, as 'Wave Twisters' was selected by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to be included in its archive for digital moving images.

The Inner Space Dental Commander must fulfill his destiny by reviving the "Lost Arts" (breakdancing, rapping, graffiti and skratching), so he and his posse (mischievouc droid Rubbish, lovely assistant Honey, and B-Boy Grandpa) battle their way through an increasingly surreal collection of villains, pratfalls, and boobytraps. Sampling from a wide variety of techniques from traditional cell animation to 3D to photo collage, Wave Twisters takes the Fantasia concept to the next, dizzying level!

DEATH FROM ABOVE issue #1 (Melbourne Graff Zine) 2003
Graffiti/Street Art/Art/Underground Magazine; Used (Mint - as new)
Ironically titled, Death From Above hails from Melbourne, and Issue #1 (the only issue ever printed I believe?) is a strong example of the quality of the writers in Melbourne City. Its high quality pages are camouflaged well by its rugged design and appearance. The majority of the photos, which were carefully selected, are trains spanning the years 2001-2003 and reflect the many styles of the city. The train flicks, consisting of E2Es, T2Bs, window downs, inside bombs, etc. would probably even make a NY pioneer long for blockbuster nights gone by. Walls and other surfaces are not as plentiful as the metal, but our friends at DxFxAx did put together a nice b&w centerfold of hand styles, throws and other spontaneous markings. All in all, a solid debut. Fucking RAD!
