Banksy’s official website has changed to just this –
Rumor has it, the location is Bristol, and there might be animals involved. (source for the rumors? Banksynews twitter)
New work from Klone
I’m a sucker for a. animal related street art and b. art made with a black spray can, which is why I like Klone‘s horse.
Also, Klone’s recently released a screen print, “Dual Identity”, which is a simple and fairly cheap edition of 45 for $50 each direct from Klone.

Above’s “The Naked Truth”
Above‘s latest work, titled “The Naked Truth,” has recently appeared in Copenhagen. I like the move into 3D work.

Photos from Venice
It is 2am right now in Venice, so I’ll leave the text describing all of this for another day, but here are my photos from the trip. A few of the photos are of work from Shepard Fairey, 2 are of a random stencil I found, a few are of the band Dark Dark Dark performing, and the rest are of The Swimming Cities of Serenissima.
Gaia’s huge new posters
I’m away in Venice, but here’s the latest from Gaia, who has just launched his new website by the way. Pretty sure these are something like 20 by 15 feet. Nice touch putting them around the graffiti.

My Thursday Night
This week there were a number of great art openings in London. My friend and I went to 3 of them.
First was Charming Baker‘s show “The Meaning of Everything” at The Gallery on Redchurch Street. I know they say to save the best for last, but we decided to mix it up and start where I thought we would see the best work. I was right. Charming’s show was extremely cool. For me, his paintings either click and I think they are just fabulous, or they don’t click at all and I think they’re boing. Not much middle ground. Luckily, this show is full of pieces that really click with me. And the prints are extremely well made, which is always nice. I even went back today to check it all out in more detail. My only real criticism would be that the prices seem a bit high, even though the pieces are big. I saw a few works have already sold, so I could be wrong, but I don’t expect the show to sell out. Here are a few of the paintings. Photos are from S-Butterfly, and here is the rest of her set:
After the jump, my visits to Stella Dore and The Pure Evil Gallery… Continue reading “My Thursday Night”
Slinkachu @ Andipa
I haven’t been down to see this show in person yet, but it’s definitely on the top of my list. Slinkachu has a solo show at Andipa Modern. Slinkachu does interesting installations of tiny little people on the street and then photographs them. These could easily turn into really tacky and watered down street art, but I think Slinkachu actually does a pretty good job avoiding that. Here’s a few samples from the show. These photos of Slinkachu’s photos are from s.butterfly. The theme of the show is superheroes.
JR’s Self Portrait
JR is awesome. I could go on about why, instead I’m just going to post this self-portrait by JR that will be at Circleculture Gallery from this Friday. Can’t believe I forgot to put this show in my post yesterday. It is going to be crazy-good and I can’t wait to get to Berlin in a few weeks to see all the work in person. More info at Arrested Motion.
