Portraits of Bob Dylan by Todd Haynes

We just posted this featured article from Plazm #29 print edition to our online magazine. View here.

Todd Haynes is not just a writer and director, but a painter as well. In these handmade images of Bob Dylan—the subject of Haynes’s film, I’m Not There—one multifaceted artist finds inspiration in another.

Fight the Power

For skateboarders in New York City, the Brooklyn Banks beneath the Brooklyn Bridge, has been the marquee boarding spot since the 70s. The city recently announced plans to paint the underside of the Brooklyn Bridge and wants to take over this communal skate area for equipment storage until at least 2014. We all know how that could end…but YOU can help!

Skate legend Steve Rodriguez (getting sick, above), of 5Boro Skateboards is fighting City Hall to preserve part of the park. To help keep the Brooklyn Banks, please spread the word, and send an email to brooklynbridgeoutreach@gmail.com.

And if anyone has creative ideas on other ways to spread the word, please let me know, and I will forward them to Steve. Thanks everyone!
