My design inspiration: Self-Portrait on Fab.

From the 1940s to the present day, we’ve unearthed why artists revel in figuration — in their own words

Jean-Michel Basquiat: King Pleasure Exhibition, Los Angeles 2023. Replica of his studio.

Ok, so I recently discovered this guy Jean Michel Basquiat, this is who The Weeknd’s hair is inspired by for those who don’t already know. Pretty similar, I’m guessing this was one of The Weeknd’s idols.

The last time I saw Jean-Michel Basquiat I was going home from work. As we walked toward each other in the subway, he stopped briefly at the first landing, whipped out a marker and rapidly wrote something on the wall, then went up to the second landing, where two cops emerged from a recess and collared him. I kept going.
