remio – Vandalog – A Street Art Blog

Happy weekend. Are you on the east coast of the USA? If so, are you melting?

Vandalog blogger Rhiannon Platt will be speaking today in NYC at All City Canvas’ event. ACC also has a series of online discussions coming up.
Good for a laugh: 14 street art terms defined and illustrated.
Alexis Diaz painted a mural just off of Brick Lane in London.
Vhils was hard at work this week in Portugal.
Nice One shows street artists that you can still do a great character without permission from the property owner (I assume given the other tags and half-finished scribbles on the wall).
Known Gallery will be showing both Cept and Remio later this month. I’m not sold on Remio’s indoor work, but his graffiti is definitely up there, and I’ve been a huge fan of Cept for year. I’m glad to see Cept getting some real recognition in the USA.
Isaac Cordal’s latest show looks intense.
I’ve always thought that if I knew how to drive and own a car, I would have an artist paint it. Well, Kenny Scharf has been painting cars for fans lately and posting the pics on Instagram. I love the retro-looking results.
Plenty of photos of EKG’s ubiquitous tag along with an essay by the mysterious artist.
Herbert Baglione paints an abandoned hospital.
Before this, I would have been content to never see a new flag painting by Saber. He’s an amazingly skillful painter, but I was a bit tired of the theme. And then he made wooden pieces and I changed my mind.
I love Alleg’s style.
And also Fuzi’s style.

Let’s see what has been happening off of Vandalog this week.

I recently wrote a list of Complex.com giving my thoughts on the 50 greatest street artists right now. Let me know what you think. So far, the main criticism (besides the usual “screw you” flame war stuff) seems to be that I did not include enough women.
The London Vandal broke a story about British former graffiti writers being arrested and being released on bail until November under some absurdly restrictive conditions. For example, they can’t enter a train station or use trains in London until November unless they can prove that they are going to court, to visit a lawyer or to make a journey relating to business or education. The New Statesman corrected some of The London Vandal’s claims and so the story is perhaps not as wild as initially reported, but it’s still a pretty messed up situation where bail conditions are being used solely for the purpose of maybe making The Olympics run more smoothly. Hyperallergic has more.
Some great anti-Romney stickers are appearing in Philadelphia.
This is a great piece by Remio.
Meggs’ show at White Walls Gallery in SF is open and Graffuturism has photos.
King Brown Magazine’s latest issue is launching in NYC on July 26th with a show including Mike Giant, Reka, Greg LaMarche, Anthony Lister, Sheryo, The Yok and others.
DALeast’s latest mural is a beauty in a place that could use some art.
Satterugly is doing some crazy stuff in Mexico.
