Mosiac Craziness at The Treatment Rooms

I don’t really know what to say about “The Treatment Rooms” besides “Wow!”

A team of artists, led by Carrie, have been decorating her house in mosiacs for the past decade. The art looks great, and the message behind the work is touching. One of the walls is dedicated to Luis Ramirez, Carrie’s pen pal who was executed three years ago in Texas. Another wall is for the Angola 3 and Kenny Zulu Whitmore, prisoners who have been unfairly kept in solitary confinement for thirty years in Louisiana.

Carrie is also behind those “Who is Herman Wallace?” tiles found around London. They are to remind people of Herman Wallace, a member of the Angola 3.

Sweet Toof Reflections

Eventually, once I understand the area enough myself, I’m going to do a post about all the great work in Hackney along the river. In the mean time, check out this work by Sweet Toof. By itself, a pretty average piece for him, but the reflection really completes it. By the way, I hear Sweet Toof has some work available at Black Rat Press’ print show, which opened today.

TOAD at Opus Underground

In all honesty, I’d never heard of TOAD before I got an email from Opus Underground yesterday announcing that he had a few pieces for sale on their website. Turns out, he’s been asking for feedback on his work from the WallKandy crowd, but I missed that thread.

Anyway, I’m excited by what TOAD has for sale at Opus Underground, and I’m looking to forward to seeing more of his mixture between charcoal and spraypaint stencils. I think he’s got a lot of promise.

The Best Tagged Door In SF

ESPVisuals posted photos of a few doors in San Fransisco that have been abundantly tagged, and they are all pretty cool, but I thought I’d just share my favorite one.

Tagged Door

Not only is this door completely covered in tags, but the portrait fits in perfectly with the tags. I’d love to know who painted it.

The photographer of that door, funkandjazz/Steve Rotman, just published Bay Area Graffiti, a book of his photos. I’ve just added it to my list of street art books to purchase, and though I haven’t yet read it, Steve’s photos are always impressive on flickr and I’m sure the book will but just as good.

Anthony Lister Things

One of the most talented painters/street artists around is, without a doubt, Anthony Lister. If I could have one artist paint a wall in my house, he’d be way up on that list. Unfortunately I am not a celebrity like Bam Margera. At least we can all still admire the work Lister’s doing at Bam’s house.

The other news is the Lister print that was released today at Paper Monster. Unfortunately, it has already sold out.

KRUNK and The Wonderful World of Donny Miller

Remember Donny Miller? The guy who did the “Gas Signs Truth in Advertising” ad subversion project last fall? Well KRUNK, the team that put on Futura’s most recent show, have brought Donny Miller into their organization. I don’t know much about Donny Miller, but I trust the guys at KRUNK know what they’re doing, and the stuff on his website is pretty cool. I’m currently sitting in an apartment with my friends who are trying to nap, but I can’t stop sharing Donny Miller’s work with them.

Anyway’s here’s the press release, check below the jump for examples of Donny Miller’s work:
