Here’s something a little bit different from your average mural. Andreco and Erica il Cane collaborated together on this wall in the Saraha Desert of Morocco.

Weekend link-o-rama
The week isn’t over yet, but this week’s news is going to be old if I don’t mention it soon. Here’s some of what I missed this week:
- The D*Face Smirnoff collaboration was anything but normal.
- Ian Stevenson’s show at Lzarides’ Newcastle space looks good.
- This is a one of Dal’s most complex walls yet.
- Vhils has a show opening this week in Paris as well as some new walls there.
- The new issue of Very Nearly Almost features Anthony Lister on the cover and will be launched on June 28th.
- Shok1 painted a great tribute to StayHigh149.
- Pixel Pancho, Never2501, GGT, Moneyless and Martina Merlini all collaborated on this wall in Milan.
- I really like this new print about to be released by Dolk.
- If you like UFO’s work in 2-demensions, you’ll love it in 3! Actually that isn’t the only sculpture he has made, but it is the newest.

New in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn: RAE, Gaia and Lelo
We don’t visit Bedford-Stuyvesant as often as we should, as its walls are among the most interesting – and least documented – around town. But we did get over there earlier this week, where we discovered new work by RAE and Gaia and found a huge mural — overlooking a community garden — by Lelo, a street artist from Rio de Janeiro.

Corey Helford and Black Rat working together
LA’s Corey Helford Gallery (who do advertise on Vandalog) have teamed up with London’s Black Rat Projects to put on a show, called Letters From America, in London on the 4th of July. Because the 4th is Independence Day in America, Corey Helford Gallery are bringing over a team of four American street artists to show at Black Rat Projects: Risk, Saber, TrustoCorp and Ron English. There aren’t many more details available for now, but I’ve been a lot of very exciting whispers about this show…
Hopefully I’ll have more to say soon.

John Fekner and Don Leicht at Welling Court
We’ve got more today from Ad Hoc Art’s Welling Court Mural Project. John Fekner and Don Leicht (studio visit) are two of my favorite stencil artists, and two of street art history’s most underrated pioneers. John sent over these photos of their contributions to this year’s Welling Court Mural Project, which included new works and additions to their piece from two years ago. About the additions, Fekner says, “We were prepped to do a new wall ¢hange$, but decided to update the wall as a tribute to graffiti artist Comp, Michael Wolovich (1989-2012) who painted the original wall with us in 2010.”
Here’s what Fekner has to say about this piece:
The stencil project, He Was Simply A Guy Who Painted Messages In The Street is intended to function on two levels.
Most every artist will do a self-portrait at some point in his or her career. Mine is not a traditional portrait; it is a self-portrait with words.
Every individual is unique in the world and has something to contribute no matter how small the thought or message might be. Perhaps a work on the street may provide a laugh or help someone get through a difficult moment, an anxious night, a period of strife or uncertainty in their life. Yes, some people may not like it; but art on the street is for everyone. It may be funny, soothing, insightful, joyous or reflective. It is an instant of communication intent on causing an immediate reaction on the viewer.
The project is also a tribute to every unknown individual whoever grafftied, scrawled, scratched, wheat-pasted, stenciled or spray painted without the public ever knowing the name of the anonymous person.
An artist’s knowledge is their trade. Artists are here to visually express and share universal concepts of peace, love, hope, compassion, equality and understanding with the general public. Art in unexpected places: anywhere, anytime, anyplace and everyone.
