"Both two artists and two friends are honored this week by The Stencil Of The Week: C215 and his model Logan Hicks. In his new manner, C215 tributes to his NYC based stencil artist friend through his portrait and some elements of recall - the graphic background or electric red colours that evoke Logan’s work. It seems that this is the beginning of a series …"
Found a new botemless well today. Not only is it bottemless, but it's also filled to the rim with amazing photography productions of even more impressive walls. I'm talking about the productions of 'startape'. This graffiti hunter from France obviously knows what he's doing, and we hope to feature plenty more of his pictures. Check his flickr account right here.
It seems like everytime I blink there's a new wall up in the UK! This time, an amazing wall in Hope Street, Portsmouth. Some of the UK's finest went out there and did a wicked painting session, people from the likes of FarkFK, Nine-O, stickee, Slikster, Snub23, Leeks, Mydogsighs and many more represented hardcore out there. Check out the results after the jump! Pics by Bert.
Now this looks like we should've been here! An amazing group show with works from the likes of MICHAEL DE FEO(USA), SPQR (UK), CLAUDIO ETHOS (BRASIL), YUSK IMAI (BRASIL), BSAS STENCIL (ARGENTINA), BTOY (SPAIN), C215 (FRANCE) M-CITY (POLAND), L.E.T (gERMANY), A1ONE (IRAN), PHO (IT) ZIBE( IT), LUCAMELEONTE (IT), ORTICANOODLES (IT), RYAN SPRING DOOLEY.
Looks promising! I just came across some pictures by wojofoto of the release of the book. I think I want to have this in my collection as well! According to the website: "The title ALL CITY WRITERS describes a vast research project on the writing movement, focussing particularly on the process of its exportation from New York to the whole of Europe during the 80s. International crews, fanzine networks, inter-rail travelling are, among others, key chapters in which writers have become protagonists.
The whole project developed from the consideration that many of the stories that writers experience are just lost in time. Other than the pictures of their pieces, the adventures, and sensations a writer lives through often just disappear like so many other bits of oral culture. For that reason, ALL CITY WRITTERS contains the largest contribution of texts ever published in this field.". Read more here
From Babelgum "When artist Aakash Nihalani moved from the suburbs to NYC he was compelled by its symmetry. As an organic response he started laying down tape on the streets and on buildings, creating brightly colored sticker tape boxes framing aspects of the city he wanted to show people, creating tableaus from real life. Both uncomfortable at potentially defacing property by using permanent materials, and enraged at the continued treatment of public artists as vandals, we join him as he brings 3D to his work for the first time, via use of mirrors and passers-by, and discuss why impermanence is important to the acceptance of street art."
