Sunday the 24th, Ezra Marcos Ayala will be setting up in front of Anomaly 5 Points at 10am. He’s offering 15 minute photo shoots by “donation” meaning the donor has to write a check of any amount to Yele Foundation or UNICEF.

He’ll have envelopes stamped, addressed and will give the envelopes to the donor. It will be their responsibility to mail the check. Contact info will be collected so images can be delivered in digital format, not prints.

No appointment is needed, just show-up. Pets, family, couples, husband/wife, kids are welcome.

There are lots of benefits to buying local: less packaging and package waste, no shipping costs, which uses less fuel and it promotes/supports the local community. Here are my gift picks for this buy local holidazzle!

Recommendations from Emily, the owner

Mention you saw this on Urban Jacksonville 10% off of an entire purchase.

For the ladies
I love Molly M. jewelry. Everything is priced at $38 for the small pendants and earrings and $48 for the large. It’s laser cut wood and acrylic. All handmade in San Francisco. We’re also all stocked up on party dresses and other great sparkly jewelry!

For the guys
We’ve got great new tees from Upper Playground and Obey, as well as $20 artist series wallets by Poketo. These wallets are produced by Poketo but the images are designed by different artists from around the country and makes great pocket art!

For the kids
Allover print hoodies from Loyal Army are too cute! sized to 4T, $32.

For your friends
I really tried to get alot of $10 and under gifts this year. Our “saving up for good weed” bank ($9) is back and always funny! And there’s always the book of seriously bad baby names ($6) for the person that has everything.

Jacksonville, FL

This show will feature Urbismus and Tommy Armageddon
Bogda Gallery. The Urbismus blog had this to say about the show

We have been approached by Bogda Gallery to show the URBISMUS art. While very flattering, we recognize the dilemma this presents. We are of the opinion that street art is just that: street art. However, by exhibiting this month, we hope to continue the project in any form it might take.

Urbismus

Also don’t forget First Friday’s in Five Points today. Big birthday bash at Anomaly. DJ. Drinks. Word.

Thanks to COJ for planting dead sod in front of my house. Also I really don’t understand why it took two days to do it either. Waste. Of. Money. Anywho.

This Friday Anomaly is having their 3rd year anniversary as well as Obey launch party falling on First Fridays in Five Points with DJ Roy spinning outside. Come to the center of the action and toast in their 3rd year with champagne and browse the new lines of clothing.

Thanks for the tip Jaxscene

There’s a passionate discussion (41 comments strong!) going on at JaxCal on the merits of Monster Art. Fascinating. Frustrating.

Thanks for this Urban Art Warfare!
