LNY recently painted this mural in at 1st Street & Coles Street in Jersey City, New Jersey. I wish LNY would do more murals, as the few that he has painted have been real winners. A bit of background about this one: One of the men depicted is Ever.

I’ve been seeing a lot of work around Philadelphia by Bad Dog recently, so I thought that this might be a good time to point out some of his new and old work to a wider audience than Philadelphia’s somewhat insular sticker community. While Bad Dog’s older work has been a staple in Philadelphia for years, it’s his new stickers with brief slogans on them that are particularly attention-grabbing.
Diego Bergia‘s latest animation based on combining video games and graffiti is a parody of Street Fighter 2 starring Revok and Mike Giant. This could really easily come across as corny, but I’m absolutely loving it. It’s for his project LEPOS: The Primary Invasion.
Right near Banksy’s recent piece in anticipating of the Queen’s Jubilee in North London, Shepard Fairey has just painted a piece. Fairey’s small mural (at least compared to the scale he’s used to working at these days) was organized as part of an effort by local residents working to revitalize the neighborhood and, like Banksy’s piece, is on Turnpike Lane in the borough of Haringey. The Guardian has more details as to how the piece came about, and Hooked has more photos.

The team over at Living Walls in Atlanta has some exciting news this week. Possible Futures will match up to $10,000 of donations made to Living Walls between now and August 1st. Living Walls is, in my opinion, the best mural festival or conference in North America, but the conference relies on donations to make it happen. Thanks to Possible Futures, any donation you make now through August 1st will go twice as far, so even if you can only spare a few dollars, I hope you will consider donating to Living Walls.
