A few months ago, Tristan Manco posted about Komafest, a festival in a remote town in Norway. One of the artists there was Conor Harrington. Now, Andrew Telling has released a beautiful film of Conor at Komafest, with an original score by Andrew Telling and Lucinda Chua. Check it out:

Lucas Price, perhaps best-known as Cyclops of the Burning Candy crew, has a show opening next month in London at Rove Gallery in Hoxton. T E A M Atlas will include new oil paintings and drawings from Price. For some sense of what Price does indoors, here are some photos from his 2009 solo show in London, although obviously that’s not particularly recent work.
T E A M Atlas opens December 6th at 6pm and runs through December 21st.
Come by NYC’s Little Italy tomorrow (Saturday the 10th) at noon for some food and street art at The Art of Comedy Art Crawl. We’ll be meeting at Caffe Roma on Mulberry and Broome and walking down to Sambuca’s Cafe by Mulberry and Canal. In between, we’ll be checking out all of the spots that gilf!, Hanksy, and Ron English recently painted along Mulberry as part of The New York Comedy Festival‘s art component, The Art of Comedy. Jim Gaffigan will be there to check out Hanksy’s piece depicting Jim at Mulberry and Grand, and Ron English will be putting a few finishing touches on his 30-foot-tall mural.
The event is free and open to anyone, but you can RSVP on Facebook.

Sonni is an artist from Argentina who is probably best-known in the rest of the world for the boom box piece he painted in Miami a couple of years back for Primary Flight, shown above. For some more insight into this artist who is painting some of the cutest and most fun murals around, check out this video:

Pixel Pancho and 2501 were recently in Baltimore for Articulate Baltimore. Here are the two walls that Pixel Pancho painted and the one wall that 2501 painted. Martha Cooper has more photos. They pair are now out in Arizona at The Painted Desert Project. Here’s a video from day one out there.

Two of our artists for The Art of Comedy were interviewed in some pretty major media outlets today. Hanksy has a Q&A with Time Out New York and Artinfo spoke with gilf! about her political, but non-partisan, street art. Both great reads.
And of course, the above photo of one of gilf!’s pieces for The Art of Comedy is from Brooklyn Street Art’s Images of the Week post.

mobstr has been busy lately with a few new clever text-based stencils around London and a print release that is a bit different from the standard fare from printers like Pictures on Walls or The Outsiders.
What makes mobstr’s latest print, entitled This One, interesting is that it’s a reversible doublesided print with a different image printed on each side of the paper. While I don’t love the images, the idea is cool. This One is an edition of 35 and can be purchased online for £140.

As Hurricane Sandy made its way towards New York City, Ron English and his assistant Beau Stanton worked feverishly to paint Ron’s first mural in Manhattan in about 25 years as part of The New York Comedy Festival and Vandalog’s The Art of Comedy. The Temper Tot is a character that Ron’s fans will be familiar with from past paintings, murals and an upcoming toy.
If you want to go see the mural for yourself, it’s on Mulberry Street between Canal and Hester in New York’s Little Italy. Or, stop by on Saturday at noon for The Art of Comedy‘s art crawl and we’ll be walking by all of the murals that Ron, Hanksy and gilf! have painted in Little Italy.
PS, thanks to Montana Cans for all the paint that made this wall possible.
