We seem to be seeing Cash4 everywhere these days. Although we largely identify him with his tags, rollers and throw-ups, we’ve been recently noticing — and loving —  his characters. Here are a few recent Cash4 sightings:

It’s another slow week, but things should start to get going again soon. The holidays can’t last forever. Here are bits of news from around the web that didn’t make it into their own post here this week:

• I wrote a list (with some help from Caroline Caldwell) for Complex.com of 10 street artists to watch in 2012. Let me know what you think in comments on this post or over on Complex.com.
• Adam Void aka Avoid pi is in an upcoming group show at Mighty Tanaka (and they have a new space).
• This Cash4 interview is good for a laugh.
• Blank has designed some posters that he would like to send out to all the Occupy protests, but he needs funding.
• But this might be my favorite Occupy-related art so far (site is NSFW).
• If you’re in Atlanta, do not miss this talk with Brad Downey.
• Or if you’re in NYC, there’s this evening with Ron English at MoMA.
• Fans of Os Gemeos should check out this photo album of their work in Brazil.

I really love these pieces by Cash4/Cahbasmn. I could probably write an essay about them, but maybe it’s just simpler if I like the work speak for itself:
