UK graffiti legend Mode2 recently painted this huge wall in London. Previously, the same wall has been painted by the likes of Pure Evil, David Choe and Burning Candy. Definitely make sure to view this photo large on flickr.
Huge new Mode2 in London
Burning Candy updates
There are a few little bits to mention today about my friends in Burning Candy. The crew have been keeping pretty busy lately.
- The above wall (thanks to Tek33 for putting me up) is the latest in at least 3 large walls painted in London by members of BC in the last month or so. Nolionsinengland has photographed the other two.
- Important note: I worked at High Roller Society for one day last week, but it’s not a regular job or something I expect to repeat since I’m moving soon. The crew’s Candy Shop show at High Roller Society kicks ass. It’s a small space, but Burning Candy have really made full use of the gallery. The installation is really fun to explore. There are so many little bits that it’s unlikely anybody noticed every minor detail that the crew had put into the assemblage of paintings, stickers, sculptures, drawings and found objects. There are photos on High Roller Society’s flickr, but I think that this weekend was the show’s last and it is now closed. But double check with HRS I guess, because I could be wrong.
- The crew is traveling. Sweet Toof is painting in New York City and a standard Mighty Mo/Sweet Toof has appeared in Amsterdam.
- Sweet Toof’s got an interview in this week’s le cool.
Welling Courts Mural Project Curated by Ad Hoc
Just had a fantastic day at the Welling Court mural jam curated by Ad Hoc. Beautiful food, beautiful artists, and beautiful company. And a wonderful response from the residents. More photos after the jump.

Willoughby Windows v2.0
Daryll Peirce sent me these photos from Willoughby Windows v2.0, the latest version of Ad Hoc Art’s Willoughby Windows project (the first event took place last June). Willoughby Windows v2.0 brought together 15 artists to fill 13 vacant storefronts in Brooklyn with artwork. C.Damage, Chris Mendoza & Pablo Power, Daryll Peirce, Faust, Hellbent, Jef Aerosol, Joe Iurato, Laura Lee, LogikOne, Ron English, Skewville and Thundercut participated in the project this time around. Here are some of the installations they created:

Danger from Elfo
Artwork and photo by Elfo. On a similar note, somebody’s left a suspicious package in Soho and nobody cares.

The Muse of Street Art
NeSpoon‘s latest project is pretty clever. It’s called The Muse of Street Art and here’s how she describes it:
Saski Garden (Ogród Saski) – former king’s garden in the center of Warsaw, since 1727 open for public.
Main attraction is the group of 21 baroque sculptures – allegorical muses of human’s creativity and science. One of them was an orphan, with no allocation. I adopt her 🙂
The two photo above were taken before NeSpoon’s modifications. The next photo is an example of the label that most of these statues had, but not the one that NeSpoon has modified.
And here’s what NeSpoon did:

New Ludo In New York
Granted they are all in Williamsburg, it is super nice to have Ludo visiting New York refreshing some old locations. I especially like the first image which takes a new approach to an aging and primarily rectilinear faile spot. More photos over at the StreetSpot
Huge new(ish) mural in Vancouver
This mural by Titifreak, Peeta, Indigo and Faith47 was painted last month in Vancouver. I love how it turned out, especially Titifreak’s bit. The wall was painted for a certain event there, but since I have nothing good to say about the manipulative group that organized the mural, I’m not going to give them publicity by linking them up or naming the event. The art looks good though.

The return of Bortusk Leer
It’s been quite a while since I last saw a new artwork from Bortusk Leer (last February maybe?), so I’m pleased to say that HowAboutNo! has been photographing a bunch of new monsters from Bortusk Leer that have been popping up around London.
