Recently, a number of very small pieces have been popping up around London and they are being attributed to Pablo Delgado (if anyone knows who first figured that out or who Pablo is, let us know). Here are some of my favorites:

Wow, last week went by quickly. And Steph moved in with me today, temporarily. Should be a crazy few weeks. Here’s what I’ve been meaning to write about:

I’d always identified Logan Hicks with meticulously stenciled urban landscapes. I was awed by his pieces that I saw at London’s Cans Festival in 2008 and at Brooklyn’s Willoughby Windows in 2009. It was only earlier today at Opera Gallery in SoHo that I discovered his stunningly-crafted portraits, including of the lovely Monica LoCascio.

Last weekend, Factory Fresh hosted another 1-day iteration of their Bushwick Art Park with new murals by Veng, Bast and Skewville and sculptures by Leon Reid IV, Specter, Skewville, Infinity and others. Above is a photo of Skewville’s mural. Right next to is Bast’s mural. The Street Spot has photos of Veng’s mural and the sculptures.

Back in April, we posted about my friend Keith Schweitzer’s mural project at Coney Island with No Longer Empty. Well he isn’t done with Coney Island just yet. There have been more additions to this series of walls by OverUnder, Veng, Radical and ND’A. Here’s Radical‘s section. For photos of the rest of the wall, check out Amusing the Zillion.

Generally when a new street art/graffiti book surfaces, I buy it, skim it and put it into my “to read” pile. Not the case with Maximiliano Ruiz’s NUEVO MUNDO: Latin American Street Art (Gestalten, 2011). A survey of Latin American street art has been long overdue, and I find myself savoring it — reading and rereading it. Here’s a brief preview of the book:

You know what’s weird? Hanging out with all your friends from high school and then actually seeing current high school students from your school. Those kids are so young! While I was freaking out about no longer being a teenager and enjoying the beautiful London weather (I’m serious about this one), here’s what I almost missed this week:

In a scene that seems like it is getting more depraved every day (I guess you could blame Los Angeles for that phenomenon), its nice to see someone putting up some quality work in America, let alone Baltimore. Mataruda has started getting busy in this town and its always a welcome pleasure of having more company in the streets here. To see more work visit matastreeart.blopgspot.com
I’m a fan of Chor Boogie’s artwork– its blazing colors and visual rhythms. Although his style is a bit gimmicky, it works for me. Seeing his work on the streets is always a treat. I stopped by Mallick Williams & Co at 150 11th Avenue in Chelsea to check out its current show Spectrum before it closes tomorrow, as Chor Boogie is one of its featured artists. While still delightful, his artwork’s impact was nowhere as strong as when seen on the streets.
