Unknown artist in Berlin

Caroline and I are headed to Chicago today. We’ll have a few days to explore, so any suggestions are appreciated. Here’s your links:

  • El Toro, Dave The Chimp, Invader, Flying Fortress, Mr. Penfold and others sent in stickers and other small artworks to This must be for you, who put all the work together into little folders and lift them as free gifts around London. Giving out free gifts unexpectedly to random people with no expectation of anything in return, sounds like fun to me (although of course very similar to Papergirl). Check out the video here.
  • I love this intervention by Plastic Jesus. He went into Best Buy stores in LA and left them with some special new products.
  • TrustoCorp put up a sign in Bushwick last week.
  • Luzinterruptus put up this fantastic sculptural intervention in Madrid in response to accusations of corruption and money laundering in the Spanish government.
  • Anyone know who did this? It’s so cute.

Best of Philly sticker art: Part one

Although I’ve been living outside of Philadelphia for about 6 months, it’s only recently that I’ve begun to get a handle on the street art in Philadelphia. The overwhelming trend here is stickering, particularly by artists who draw logos instead of names. Given that my favorite art book of last year was probably a book about stickers, this is a coincidence that I’m loving. I wanted to do a post or two about some of Philadelphia’s best sticker artists, but realized that I am definitely not an expert on the local scene. Luckily, El Toro was happy to help me out in compiling the majority of this list. Also, a big thanks to Damon Landry aka damonabnormal for being such a dedicated photographer of these stickers and allowing Vandalog to rely heavily on his photos for this series. So here’s the first of two posts on some of Philadelphia’s best sticker artists (in no particular order)…
