Megaphone print from OBEY

Posted: August 13th, 2010 | Author: RJ | Category: Print Release | Tags: | No Comments »

Shepard Fairey’s prints can be pretty hit or miss, but the Obey Megaphone is definitely a hit. The print will be for sale from a random time on Friday August 13th at the OBEY website. The print is an edition of 230 and, as usual with Shepard, the price is just an affordable $45.


VNA Issue 12 launches next week

Posted: August 7th, 2010 | Author: RJ | Category: Art News, Books, Print Release | Tags: | No Comments »

Very Nearly Almost issue number 12 is launching next week at the Pure Evil Gallery in London. This issue of VNA features M-City, Buff Monster, Mr. Jago and more. Oh and then there’s the cover: Roa. I did the interview with Roa, but I think the most interesting part of that feature is going to be the photos. I haven’t seen the finished version yet, but it’s going to be something a bit different. I won’t spoil what makes that bird on the cover so unique, but you may be able to figure it out for yourself with some clever googling.

At the launch party, you’ll be able to buy a special edition of VNA with a screenprinted cover. Plus Mr. Jago will be there doing some painting. So make sure to stop by Pure Evil Gallery on Thursday the 12th from 6-9pm and let me know what you think.


More from Lydia Fong and Todd James

Todd James

Yesterday’s post about Brush Strokes, Lydia Fong (aka Barry McGee) and Todd James’ current show at V1 Gallery, was woefully incomplete. The originals at V1 aren’t all that these artists have gotten up to in Copenhagen. They also worked on a total of 6 lithographs at Edition Copenhagen. James has made three prints, McGee has made two and both artists have collaborated (along with McGee’s assistant Amaze) on one print. LaMJC has all the info on edition sizes as well as paper type and size (and it’s where we got these images). No official word on pricing, but it looks like those interested in purchasing one or more of these prints should contact Edition Copenhagen.

New Miss Van Prints

Posted: July 14th, 2010 | Author: stephanie | Category: Print Release | Tags: | No Comments »

Furthering to girl-ify Vandalog tonight (check out this video I posted on Facebook and you will understand that previous statement), one of my favorite female street artists, Miss Van, released new prints this week. The first is entitled “Oldies II” and is a print version of a 2005 painting.

Oldies II

The second is a reproduction of the first painting in a new series entitled “Mascaras.” This series displays a more eloquent painting style of Miss Van’s as she pays more attention to detail of the female body in a rare full nude picture.  The painting seems more alive and telling than previous works, most likely because of the more realistic aesthetic portrayed.

Mascaras #8

Both prints are available via the artist’s online store

New print from Kofie

Posted: June 23rd, 2010 | Author: RJ | Category: Print Release | Tags: | 2 Comments »

Kofie‘s new print, Zirkulation eines Anti-Horizontes, looks beautiful and it’s available online at Rivera and Rivera. It’s a giclée though, and personally I wouldn’t buy a giclée by what you see online.

Zirkulation eines Anti-Horizontes is an edition of 100, sized 22 x 22 inches and is being sold for $275. The print technically isn’t being released until the 4th of July, but you can pre-order it now.


Already sold out: Maya Hayuk prints at POW

Posted: June 14th, 2010 | Author: RJ | Category: Print Release | Tags: | No Comments »

Another thing that I missed while I was out of touch with the rest of the world was Maya Hayuk’s first prints at Pictures on Walls. These prints are beautiful, like a lot of Hayuk’s art. Even though she’s been around for years, I only came across Hayuk this past December. At first, I wasn’t sure what to think of what I saw, but now I know what to this: This woman is brilliant.

Unfortunately, both of these prints have already sold out, but I thought I would just share the images anyway.


While I was cut off from the world…

BETTEN in NYC. Photo by a friend of the artist.

Since the end of May until a few days ago, I’d been more or less cut off from the street art world. I was driving around Europe with my friends. That’s not particularly important, though I would like to thank Logan Hicks, Ripo, Paulo, C215, Nunca and (especially) Angelo for spending time with us.

Here’s some of the things that I missed while I was away…

  • Penny’s latest piece kicks ass
  • Os Gêmeos have been crazy busy, so here’s one of the things they did: A few paintings at FAME Festival.
  • And Blu has been to FAME recently too.
  • I’m loving a lot of the pieces Skewville’s show Shift Work Disorder at Factory Fresh.
  • Some local residents completely misinterpreted the meaning behind some Shepard Fairey murals and painted them over. Actually a really interesting story. I suppose that when it is a reality of everyday life, people don’t like to be reminded that the police will “kick your ass and get away with it.”
  • Lazarides’ latest show in LA is Eurotrash with Vhils, Micallef and JR. Hi-Fructose has pictures.
  • Alison Young’s book Street Studio had a launch party in Melbourne.
  • High Roller Society has a massive group print show on right now. I stopped by on Saturday. If you like affordable prints and drawings, check this one out.
  • Daily Mail reports that Banksy has painted some pub in Primrose Hill. Reality: It’s a PR stunt by the pub’s owner, but at least now they have some artwork on their walls.
  • The New Grand Tour, a group show including Jose Parla, Rey Parla and Rostarr, is open now at Bryce Wolkowitz in New York City.
  • Kathy Grayson and Meghan Coleman, former gallery directors at Deitch Projects, have started up their own gallery in NYC called Hole. I’m not exactly sure how much street art or graffiti you’ll be able to find at the Hole when it opens later this month, but they sent me a press release, so presumably they haven’t ditched street art entirely. The Wall Street Journal has more.
  • Hrag Vartanian has started an interesting discussion on Hyperallergic about a new piece by Mark Jenkins which could easily be mistaken for trash. And by the way, if you don’t already read Hyperallergic, you should start. It’s perhaps my favorite art blog at the moment.
  • Armsrock has a solo show on right now at Signal Gallery. I’m going to check it out tomorrow, but based on the photos on Arrested Motion, I couldn’t be more excited. Armsrock is massively talented and just keeps getting better.

Nothing To Declare – David Choe + Jason Jaworski

New prints and originals from Bast

Posted: May 12th, 2010 | Author: RJ | Category: Gallery/Museum Shows, Print Release | Tags: | 1 Comment »

Bast has updated his website with some new artwork. These are some of my favorite pieces I’ve seen by Bast recently.

This looks like it could be a print or an original. Not sure which, but it’s my favorite of this bunch:

American Nitemare

Bast’s website doesn’t say if these works are for sale or for a future show or anything. He just posted the images.

There’s also this new print called Ghost Town. It’s an edition of 4 and was available for $600, but they’ve all sold out already:
