Bien Urbain festival in Besançon, France
We’ve been posting images here and there from the Bien Urbain mural festival that took place in Besançon, France, but now photos of all the works are on flickr. These are a few of my favorite images (from Sam3, Hyuro, Moneyless, TBLR-ONE, Escif, Quillograma, Nelio, ), but definitely take the time to check out this Bien Urbain flickr set to see everything from the festival.

Weekend link-o-rama
I’m baking alive here in Atlanta for Living Walls, but damn things are coming along nicely. Nanook and Gaia have finished a couple of walls, including this one. But Living Walls is a busy event, so I’ve been missing out on a lot this week, including some big news from Banksy. Check all that out here…
- The schedule for Living Walls is up and finalized. Festivities start tonight. If you’re in Atlanta, I hope to see you there.
- El Mac’s painting of a cockroach is pretty crazy.
- Channel4 in the UK has two films of note being shown this weekend: Banksy’s tv special Antics Roadshow (it’s about people behaving badly in public) and Graffiti Wars, which is that Robbo (get well soon man) documentary that people have been talking about for a while.
- Art in the Streets had over 200,000 visitors.
- Fine Art Views has an interview with Blek le Rat.
- Retna, Kenny Scharf and Shepard Fairey painted the outside of a parking garage in West Hollywood.
- New work from Phil Frost.
- Nelio is quite cool.
- Did you know that Futura made a rap with The Clash?
- To coincide with Living Walls, the All City street art and graffiti mapping app is available for free all weekend.
