The folks in town for the Lazarides’ Grifters show sure are busy. Ian Cox has been taking some great photos of their progress:
Yes, this post is a bit Choe heavy, but his pieces look really great even if you only see a segment of them, someone like Mode2, you really need to see the finished product. If your curious what else has been going on though, Ian’s flickr stream has more pics.
UPDATE: Even more David Choe:
Next week I’ll be seeing Logan Hicks at Primary Flight in Miami, but for now there is his wall at Espeis Outside in New York City thanks to Brooklyn Street Art. Looks good.
And they even have a time lapse video:

The latest from Blu after his work in Bogota – looks like he might not have finished it yet, although it’s already looking amazing! More to come. Images via him.
One for Vandalog’s Sao Paulo based readers! My friends Cena7 and Anjo plus a bunch of other great artists are taking part in a show on Saturday, November 28th – go support them if you can! Graffiti RUA is a project which works to bring together old and new school graffiti writers. Check out more info here.

Honestly I’m stricken speechless by these pieces. Just considering the incredible amount of time dedicated creating these works and their immensely sensitive application just blows me away. I think I say this every time I write on Specter’s work but I just can’t stress enough as to how incredible these posters are. Whoever says that the New York street art scene is dead needs to walk around the city for a bit. Or you can thank Jake Dobkin for this great documentation and for doing all of the walking for you.
I’ve really been enjoying watching this beautiful installation take shape at Museu de Arte de Sao Paulo (Masp) recently. Curated by Choque Cultural, it features Titi Freak, Zezão, Stephan Doitschinoff, Ramon Martins, Carlos Dias and Daniel Melin, a list that includes some of the Brazilians I’m most excited about these days. Entitled De dentro pra fora / De fora pra dentro, the exhibit opens this Wednesday, October 18th.
These pics are off Facebook so the resolution isn’t great. Best to check out Louise and Ignacio of Lost Art’s gorgeous documentation of the work in progress.
I’ve been working on The Thousands since about 9:15 this morning, and this photo pretty much describes how I feel. But I’ll finish setting up tomorrow and then get some rest before the big opening on Wednesday. Thanks to CampBarbossa and Black Rat Press for coming by today and making sure the show looks awesome.
I can’t believe it’s already been a week since WK Interact‘s latest solo exhibit, How To Blow Yourself Up, opened here in LA. For anyone Cali-based who missed the reception, you can still check out the work and installation at Subliminal Projects until December 5th. And for everybody else, here are a few pics from the night! It was definitely one of the most fun events over this way in a while.
Aside from the excited buzz in the air and line out the door of people waiting to get photographed and fingerprinted for WK’s awesome mug shot wall, the work itself did not disappoint. The gallery was decked out with a fantastic range of three-dimensional mixed media pieces (from wood panels, skate decks and boxes to a custom-built bike and a series of doors you have to see to believe) and there was even one of his mind-blowing Motion Portraits (my personal favorite).
Hype aside (and he’s underrated, in my opinion), WK is simply one of the most important street artists in the world and those who have the opportunity to see or own his work are just plain lucky.

Yote is quickly becoming a very interesting artist. Since first getting up in June, he’s consistently been carving new and better blocks. I mentioned some of his animals here a few months ago. Here’s his latest piece, a wolf pup.
