Fuck heroin. This guy is another one of the 28 year old talented tragedies whose work will long outlive their short, fucked up lives. He really walked the line of controversy with his lewd polaroid photographs and his dark installations. Dash was talented. It's a fuckin shame.
Check out a video montage of some of his work:
What a waste.

Internship Round 27
I feel like it was just yesterday that I, as a little intern, was blogging from my desk AlmaDDB's advertising agency office in Miami last summer, preparing to go to New York, and then returning to the agency once I came back (early) from the City. (Well, ok, Brooklyn.) But here I am, a year later blogging at Zubi Advertising, as an intern once again, blogging from another Hispanic agency, but this time, older and wiser (and by wiser I mean prettier).
Myself and eight other advertising peons are forming a campaign (for a product I can't mention) that should be completed in a total of eight weeks. We are halfway through with the internship and we still have not made it past step two. After countless verbal beatings from the higher beings, I have come to realize that 9 20-something year olds simply do not know how to check egos at the door and NOT take things personally. We fight everyday, which ends up slowing our process, but more importantly, entertaining the shit out of me. The fights are amazing. They usually come before lunch or towards the end of the day, because, as toddlers, we get cranky. We don't communicate, we don't listen, we take 3 steps forward then 4 steps back. It's quite funny, really, because I know in the end, somehow we will end up pulling this campaign off, but the path to that destination is a complete zig-zag clusterfuck waste of time. But hey! That's an what you get for putting 9 strong personalities together in a sandbox.
I'll leave you with Ikea's "Tidy Up!" campaign.

@ tiffany, don't you realize there are almost always at LEAST two sides to every story? i don't know the whole story, and neither do you. don't you know by now what kind of monsters the media can be? people lie, and you never know if someone just saw an opportunity to try and extort someone for money. it definitely wouldn't be the first time. i don't know the real past actions of MJ, but i don't think it's fair to assume what you hear in the media is 100% true.
Nicole Cussell at 10:41pm June 25
