Surly miners who don’t much like having their bitchin Model A photographed give the boys a run for their money—out of town… 

As we check in with Supertouch’s own DARREN “DR” ROMANELLI and trusty sidekick NATHAN “NACHOS CABRONES” CABRERA on their last day out in the great wide open of Alaska we catch a glimpse of ambiguously gay duo fishing, whitewater rafting and beating a hasty retreat from surly local miners who don’t much like the look of streetwear-wearing, fancy camera toting big city folk. The highlight of the trip so far? The pristine, miraculously original daily driver Model-A still roaming the icy backcountry like 4 wheel drive had never been invented. HAVE A LOOK:

Unfortunately, the owners don’t much like their ve-hi-cle being photographed. The boy’s hasty retreat might just have set a new land speed record…

NYC///ART HYPE///MR BRAINWASH PERFECTS THE ART OF TURD POLISHING WITH THE OPENING OF “ICONS”

What has to be the final nail in the “Street Art” coffin was driven in last weekend by none other than MR. BRAINWASH (aka: “The Christian Audigier of Street Art”) when he opened his massive, self-produced “Icons” show in a rented space (which, ironically, was once a real art gallery, pre-recession) in the heart of Chelsea. As the subject of Brit Street Art king Banksy’s recent docu-parody film, “Exit Through The Gift Shop,” MBW has been the focus of much hype and speculation as his presence finally seeps into the fairly muddy stream of mainstream consciousness.
