Ace Boon Kunle: A/K/A Earsnot

Regular readers of TI have probably picked up on our fetish for NY cult figures: the Teri's of the 80's, the Jenny's of the 90's and now our new Zeroes fixation, graf master Earsnot. Leader of the immortal Irak crew, openly gay downtown enfant terrible, scene stealing star of the cult film "Infamy", Mr Earsnot is a latter day icon to the arbiters of NY cool. And as is the way of life these days the Irak posse (Dash Snow was an early member) also has a clothing line and now offers its services as fashion and lifestyle consultants. How we would love to see Earsnot with folded arms at a corporate conference table. You have to wonder what Mr C.E.O would make of the legendary Earsnot tattoo featuring an attractive Hussein Saddam with a bulge in his pants. Paging Harmony Korine white courtesy telephone please.

Earsnot and friends amuse themselves terribly: Polaroid: Dash Snow
