Welcome Aliens!

Michael Alan, wild artist and native NYC wild child, has been a revolutionary activist/musician/draftsman in the art scene for quite some time.  Alan has been featured in over 200 publications, books, and media sources, including The New York Times, Art 21, Bomb, Vice, The New York Post, NBC’s Today Show,  Fox Channel 5, The Huffington Post, the Village Voice’s “Best in Show”,  Time Out New York, and Marie Claire Italia.

From line drawings to paintings, performances to sculpture, music to original screen-print shirts and old fashioned hand burned albums, Alan’s observations and experiences have inspired his 100% hand-made works.  In order to fully appreciate the disparate nature of Alan’s creations, one must have firsthand insight into the artist dubbed Alien.  

Alan recently suffered head trauma from an accident that impedes his memory.  In the spirit of Alan’s beliefs supporters of Alan have come together to create a place that documents the life and times of our favorite Alien.

Much like the live performances coined Living Installations, this blog will become a living and breathing organism of interactive creation.  Posts will consist of art, music, memories, friends, upcoming events, and some interesting finds along the way.  

All friends and fans are encouraged to contribute articles and writings for our editor’s review.

Peace!

Art Should...

“Art is judged on buying the person, but art should transcend human life. Even if the work IS about human life, we should not judge based on WHO made it, whether it is who is “cool”, mean, bad, good, hip, sexy or what it may be. What click you are a part of, or who likes or dislikes your human... most times art is not judged on how great it is, it is placed into human parts based on who, and about them. This gets into Ego and control and systems, mans disre more to class everything, sticking flags in planets, for the most it is judged on the person, and who GIVES A SHIT....... This is art now......and has been, when I look at a Dali I just love the work, his personal life is separate for me, but this is me. This is what I find not interesting when viewing work. Let’s give back, live and just make art and not be cool, or some rock star.....change lives.....leave a mark that will help, it what ever way that is”

Its awning says Second Time Around is a thrift shop, but it doesn't have all that much clothing on its shelves, and this weekend there won't be any on its staff, either. On Saturday night, workers at the Bushwick store will actually be figure ...

Excerpt from BEDFORD+BOWERY!

“The idea for this “strange living movie” all started when Alan met Second Time Around owner and artist Bizzid through a friend, artist and cosmic cavern proprietor Kenny Scharf. Alan started going there a lot to draw and hang out,” (APRIL 12, 2016 BY KARISSA GALL).
