A prolific sticker bomber with an exceptional handstyle, SURE was already a legend in his short lifetime. Since his tragic death this past December, tributes to SURE continue to grace New York City’s landscape. The following two by Over Under and Baser are among over a dozen I spotted this afternoon in Chelsea.
Earlier this week, How and Nosm painted this roll-gate in NYC. If you want to check it out in person, the gates are at 14th Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenue and the shop closes around 10:30pm.

Not always my favorite artists, but Various and Gould recently hit up India with some really cool posters. Check it out.

These pieces from Paper Twins are pretty cool for going semi-3D even as wheatpastes (even if the 3D part of the pieces will probably wash away quicker than the main posters).

SheOne is the latest artist to paint at Unit 44 in Newcastle. Earlier this year, Roa painted a wall nearby. Very cool mural. I’m a big fan of SheOne’s camo/abstract/graffiti hybrid.

In late winter a number of Keith Haring-like images began to surface on the streets of the Lower East Side. I should have immediately recognized them as the work of Angel Ortiz (Little Angel aka LA ll), the main inspiration behind much of Keith Haring’s art. But I didn’t. Whereas Keith Haring is regarded as one of the key artists of the 20th century, LA ll is just now on his way to attaining the respect and recognition he deserves. Deemed as Keith Haring’s “silent partner,” LA ll collaborated with and traveled alongside him for about 10 years, profoundly impacting Haring’s style and sensibility. A solo exhibition of LA ll’s recent paintings is at the Dorian Grey Gallery at 437 E. 9th Street through April 17. It’s worth a visit.

I was fortunate enough to be able to spend two weeks prior to the opening of Resplendent Semblance getting up in Chicago with the incredible support of the folks over at Pawn Works. Literally every night was spent in preparation and posting work. Being able to get up on Cabrini Green, the Robert Taylor Homes, and the projects by midway was a dream come true and made the trip that much more worth while. We’ve developed a google map of all of the legal and street locations which can be viewed here. This post doesn’t have them all but you get the idea, the rest after the jump.

Making a stop in Lisbon, Conor Harrington, put up a beautiful piece the other day that Stick2Target captured. I really think his outdoor work is so much more impressive than his indoor pieces, especially in-person.
And as RJ stated on Twitter last week, I am interning at Lazarides, so I will try to avoid writing about LAZ artists and upcoming shows, but this piece is pretty awesome and I couldn’t resist. Was, is and always will be a Harrington fan.

Well, I’m just gonna brag for a second. Haverford College just got way cooler. M1 from Dead Prez is doing a residency here. Gonna go see him perform tonight in our tiny music venue. And yes, I am aware of the apparent hypocrisy of being a white male at a private educational institution and getting excited to see M1 perform. Anyway. Back to the art.

Here are some pictures sent to us by JR for his latest project in Tunisia. In his true fashion, the photographer/street artist took pictures of residents around the country. Calling the project “Artocracy,” the outdoor works consist of one of the first organized street art exhibits in an Arab country. Posting the works in symbolic areas correlated with the revolution, JR received a lot of backlash from people in the area, but has managed to capture some beautiful portraits with six Tunisian photographers- Sophia Barakat, Rania Dourai, Wissal Dargueche, Aziz Tnani, Hichem Driss amd Hela Ammar.
