Unfortunately these are ALREADY all sold out, but Mighty Mo had a print released at Pictures on Walls today. Actually, one print with four colorways. So congrats to Mighty Mo on such a successful release and to anybody who snagged one of these at just £75.

I touched on this issue the other day, but I thought there was more to be said and some examples to be given.

There are a few graffiti writers who are blurring the line between graffiti and street art by painting trademark characters or symbols instead of, or in addition to, their names. Of course, painting characters has been around since the earliest days of graffiti, but in recent years, certain crews and writers have taken that a step further.

Here are a few examples of writers who I think are really pioneering a new form of character based graffiti. I think it could, and should, be one important direction for graffiti and street art in the coming years.
