From a recent visit to the Art Basel in Miami, Rick Ross was inspired to spend his big boss bucks on an acclaimed piece of photography. Entitled “Love Is The Drug,” Rozay’s new purchase is by surrealist photographer and artist Richard Mosse, who has gained recognition for his unique infrared photographs of the conflict in the Congo. In the last decade, Mosse traveled to Haiti, Pakistan, and the former Yugoslavia to take scenic landscapes and stills, and developed the photos with his signature pinkish-redish hues. Standing in front of one of Mosse’s newest works with the CEO of Warner Music Group, Lyor Cohen, Ross instagrammed the moment to commemorate his first Art Basel cop. (via 305)

I do not genuinely care how or after i get the Letters in the Mail. Every time it arrives, it feels like a letter should be. It’s suddenly there in my mail box 1 day. A nice, tangible surprise. I’m for you doing whatever you want when you send it. Mix it up for the individuals who help get it sent out. Include crumbs from your lunch. Coffee stains. Whatever. Keep the tedious naturel of getting letters out to a minimum by doing whatever you feel like that day. The arrival from the letter and the words of your author inside are what matters. Personally, what I like best about The Rumpus is that I under no circumstances know what I’ll read that day. Or if there is not one that day, maybe it’s because Stephen couldn’t obtain anything to say or there was much too much going on.
