Andrew Garfield reprises his role as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in this superhero sequel based on the Marvel Comics characters. By day Peter Parker enjoys an ordinary life, spending time with his girlfriend Gwen (Emma Stone), but by night he flies high amidst New York skyscrapers as he battles evil. The emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), a figure with startling power and malevolent intentions, poses Spider-Man his greatest challenge to date, while he also has The Rhino (Paul Giamatti) to keep under control. The unexpected return of his old friend Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan) is more welcome. Together, the pair come to realise that shadowy corporation Oscorp seems to be responsible for much of the evil they encounter. Can they find a way to put an end to Oscorp's nefarious activities?
An essential, inspiring collection of quotations about creativity, social justice, and more from musician, producer, artist, and designer Pharrell Williams Rising to global fame with his hit single “Happy,” Pharrell Williams has influenced every corner of music, from cowriting and producing the monumental track “Alright” with Kendrick Lamar to composing music for the Academy Award–winning film Hidden Figures. But his work also extends to fashion, design, and the visual arts, and he has collaborated with leading artists and designers, including Takashi Murakami, Daniel Arsham, and Comme des Garçons. Gathered from interviews and other sources, this compelling and provocative collection of quotations offers new insights into the personality and creative process of one of today’s most exciting and intriguing artists. Select quotations from the book: Self-awareness is a muscle that needs exercise. It needs a regimen. You’ve got to continue to reinvent yourself today, all the while thinking about tomorrow. Music is the key, the skeleton key that’s opened every door for me. There is no humanity without education. There is no education without demand. The only way to make life better for yourself, the only true and lasting way, is to make life better for others.
Straddling the worlds of fine art, street art and hip-hop, name-dropped on many a rap song, and collected by the likes of Jay-Z and LeBron James, Hebru is a painter, sculptor and designer. He first gained attention as a graffiti artist, tagging walls with colourful depictions of Flyboy a child donning aviator goggles all over the Windy City. Fast-forward to 2021 and his creations, profoundly influenced by Disney and Japanese Super-Flat, are now in museums, as well as in branded goods for A Bathing Ape, Billionaire Boys Club, Adidas Originals, KITH, Neighborhood and a host of other sought-after labels. At the heart of Hebru s work is restoring innocence to the depiction of black youth, often forced into adulthood before their time in the eyes of the law and popular media. Upbeat and life-affirming, Brantley s work not only attempts to normalize images of black children at play, but in his creation of black superheroes, even suggests an entirely new mythology in a cultural landscape often devoid of positive examples. This book will feature the breadth of Hebru s work so far, and is the first monograph on his work. Set out in two parts, this work will examine both the fine art and applied art nature of his work, with both his paintings and his streetwear collaborations receiving pride of place in the design of the book by prominent graphic designer Oliver Munday, currently the art director of The Atlantic Monthly.

Engaging Pharrell in conversation, talents as diverse as Karl Lagerfeld and Takashi Murakami position Pharrell's work within contemporary visual and material culture. The worldwide success of the song "Happy" to his soundtrack and production credit for the Oscar-nominated film Hidden Figures bookend a volume devoted to Pharrell's mastery of artistic collaboration. Featuring work with artists as diverse as JR, Alex Katz, Mr., and Daniel Arsham, the book highlights recent projects and designs for Chanel, Moncler, Moynat, and Adidas. But at the heart is the visual language that Pharrell has built around his Ice Cream/Billionaire Boys Club clothing line, which integrates streetwear into the design of apparel, accessories, limited-edition toys, and skate graphics. This alone makes the book a must-have collectible.
FriendsWithYou is a contemporary fine art collective that has
been spreading their unifying message of Magic, Luck, and
Friendship worldwide since their founding in 2002. Expanding their
mission of connectivity and reawakening via their interactive
artworks, the artists Samuel Borkson and Arturo Sandoval III call
on the viewer to reinvent and reinterpret the lost meaning of
spirituality. Using ideas like animism, healing arts, the modern
ritual and celebrated symbols, FriendsWithYou addresses the human
need to relate to one another. Together, the artists have
constructed their own brand of post pop visual language a la
Murakami, Arturo Herrera and Yayoi Kusama and have instilled in
their work the powerful ability to trigger thoughts of happiness,
curiosity, and meaningful interaction.
