Yote is quickly becoming a very interesting artist. Since first getting up in June, he’s consistently been carving new and better blocks. I mentioned some of his animals here a few months ago. Here’s his latest piece, a wolf pup.

I haven’t seen too many pictures from Neckface’s solo show Devil’s Disciple at OH-WOW Gallery in Miami. Neckface is so absurdly underrated here in the UK and I just don’t know why. Like David Choe, he does a great job of proving that just because an artist paints with water colors, it doesn’t mean they have to paint something that looks pretty. But with this show, Neckface seems to have taken steps forward and made serious sculptural works. Awesome. I hope you like these pictures as much as me.

Frankly, the upcoming show Go Get Your Shinebox at The Brooklynite Gallery didn’t interest me at all. I didn’t plan on mentioning it on Vandalog. Then I was shown this video:
Look’s great, and word is that the works are all EXTREMELY affordable.
A few days ago I mentioned that Barry McGee and Phil Frost had a two man show opening at the brand new PRISM Gallery in LA. Last night was the opening, and it looks spectacular. Arrested Motion has dozens of pictures, but here are a few that I’ve taken from them.
Of course, Phil Frost is The Guy when it comes to painting tiki-themed artwork.
And then there is Barry McGee. Brilliantly awesome.

I wish I could see this show in person, but alas I’m still in London (though a New York trip is just around the corner). Factory Fresh’s latest show is A Hounding Obsession with Deeker, Armer, Darkcloud and Goreb. It opens on Friday November 13th at Factory Fresh, 7-10pm.
Factory Fresh says:
This November, Factory Fresh brings together four elusive artists who each work seamlessly in between the worlds of graffiti and streetart. These two art forms look identical to the untrained eye but in actuality are more like brawling brothers to those who are part of the movement. Artists Armer, Darkcloud, Goreb and Deeker are a few exceptions. Each of their work ranges on the street one day a large scale mural, another day carefully placed signs or paintings, sometimes even a junk sculpture is installed onto a crowded street. As a result these artists cannot be dismissed by any group of urban artists and have been validated by their acceptance from multiple ranges of critcs.

This week and next, you might see Vandalog and The Thousands mentioned around the blogosphere, and I thought I would just share some of the links that have gone online so far.
And here’s the latest in the saga of Banksy’s IEAK Punk piece in Croydon… The owners of the wall have removed it. They are saying that the removal to prevent more tagging because the piece has been severely tagged over. I hope that’s true. I give the owners a pretty good chance of trying to sell the wall tomorrow (hopefully not on eBay). The Sutton Guardian has the full story.
Why hasn’t this new piece by Eine been making it around the blogosphere already? It was painted in WEST London and not EAST London. Anyway, that’s a discussion for another day. This is a cool piece and it’s good to see Eine painting outside.

ukadapta have organized a group show in Tokyo that opens this week. Should be good. The line up is a varied of British urban art with Best Ever, D*face, Word to Mother, Luc Price/Cyclops, Matt Small and more.
More info from ukadapta:
Adapta Gallery’s third curated project will be held on November 12th – November 29th 2009, with a show in Tokyo called Close Encounters. The show consists of 8 British-based artists, including Best Ever, Cyclops, D*Face, David Bray, Matt Small, Sickboy, Word To Mother and Vesna Parchet.
The variety of work on show is eclectic, and that is precisely the reason why we chose them in the first place. From D*Face’s two-dimensional graphic art to the rich textures of emerging artist Vesna Parchet’s styled character-based paintings, a plethora of mediums, emotions and messages are employed for the viewer to digest.
This particular show is very close to our hearts as we are finally able to put together an amazing line up of artists to produce works for our Tokyo readers and Japanese collectors to see in person. We have been interviewing and working on projects with so many talented British creatives over the years and to finally curate our own show in Tokyo for our main audience is a true honour.
On the opening night, we will also have special guests: Usugrow, Jeff Soto, Shohei Takasaki, Yoshiki & Nagayama also showing their works.
Close Encounters
Exhibition venue : Time Out Gallery, Liquidroom 2/F, 3-16-6, Higashi, Shibuya-ku,Tokyo
Opening Date : 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm, 12 November, 2009
Exhibition runs : 13 November 2009 – 3 December, 2009
In case you happen to be in Tokyo, there is a map on the show’s website.

This show looks pretty interesting. Eine and Zeus together at Ink_d Gallery in Brighton. November 27 through December 24th (I feel really bad whoever is dismantling this show on Christmas).
For our next show at Ink_d Gallery we bring together two urban art heavyweights; Eine & Zeus.
Both are prolific street artists and innovators in typography and both have pushed the boundaries in a way that has redefined how we see graffiti as an art form.
Eine is best known for his alphabets and letters on shutters and Zeus for his three dimensional images and sculptures based around his writing style.
They come together at Ink_d for ‘Crimes and Punishments’ where their collaboration has produced a heavy hitting alphabet in Pen & Ink.The show will feature beautifully framed original work on paper combining illustrations of crimes and punishments with Eine’s inimitable fonts and drawings of Eine’s hands by Zeus.
There will also be our usual affordable screen printed show poster and an exclusive low edition print release available during the show.
