Attention all zinesters! Museum of Modern Art in NYC is having an exhibition called Print Studio (4 West 54th St) right now. My fav thing to do there is to peruse the photo books from the Reanimation Library, make photocopies, and then go back into the images, manipulating them with an acetone transfer pen. There will be demos and workshops there and everything is totally free. It's open Wednesday through Monday from 11am-4pm and runs until March 9. -Maggie Lee

Jack Teagle's illustrations and paintings include such things as Elvis, animals, and the monsters that hide under your bed. To help bring his work to life, he's also created a couple of fun comics like Fight, in which the devil himself has a tough time in the wrestling world.
Look through the eyes of William Strobeck in his new film, My Lovely Mess. His besties Chloë Sevigny, Natasha Lyonne and Alex Olson are some who star in this short. I like to think about the way they look at him as well. There's no acting and these shots are all so special. The framing is classic Strobeck. -Maggie Lee

The party featured a performance by Kreayshawn and Young Hawaii Slim, and an art installation by New Image Art. There were also a few skate ramps, lots of dancing, and an airbrushed Alf T-shirt. Thanks to everyone involved—we had a great time! Check out more photos on Art from Behind.
