Excited to announce that Paper Monster is releasing of a new COST/REVS print based on an old image. “Fuck You” -1993 is an oddly refreshing image from the legendary duo and will be available online starting sometime today. Each print is signed by COST. Merry Christmas, dad! (He doesn’t read this, it’s fine.)

Happy reminder that we’re less than a month from Christmas…

Had a fantastic time in New York last weekend finishing up The Art of Comedy, but that meant missing out on a lot of news, so some of this week’s link-o-rama is a bit more dated than usual:

mobstr has been busy lately with a few new clever text-based stencils around London and a print release that is a bit different from the standard fare from printers like Pictures on Walls or The Outsiders.
What makes mobstr’s latest print, entitled This One, interesting is that it’s a reversible doublesided print with a different image printed on each side of the paper. While I don’t love the images, the idea is cool. This One is an edition of 35 and can be purchased online for £140.

A very late link-o-rama, but hey, Sunday is still the weekend.

As many of you have either heard or experienced, Hurricane Sandy left a trail of destruction in the Caribbean and along the East Coast of the USA. While some of us in New York were fortunately unscathed, there are some true horror stories coming out of this. Logan Hicks has decided to be proactive and in a benevolent effort will be selling the print “SoHo Illuminated by a food cart” until November 10th to raise funds for the Red Cross. 100% of the profits raised will be donated directly to the Red Cross. This is an opportunity for us to give back and to own nice art for doing so.
Logan’s words:
Hurricane Sandy has destroyed entire towns and families in the tri-state New York area. While my own family and belongings escaped any real damage, many were not as fortunate. As we came through the hurricane, I thought ‘that wasn’t so bad’ – and in my neighborhood, it wasn’t. Then the news channels started to parade the misery of communities like Staten Island and Breezy Point across the screen. They were decimated. Entire houses washed away, lives lost, and cherished possessions destroyed.
My good friend John Lee from @emehtagency made a suggestion that I sell one of the photos taken of downtown Manhattan during the power loss to help raise money for those in need. It sounded like the perfect way for me to assist. The conditions which produced amazing photographs for me were also the same conditions that have displaced families. It’s the obligation of those that have, to help those who do not. So I am helping the way I am best suited for – through my art.

Spending a few days in NYC, so this is a bit late, but here it is…

Swampy, Oakland’s legend in the making, has just put two two new beautiful works through Paper Monster: a hand-finished print and an original drawing.
The print, Owl of Yawn, is a two-color print on hand-dyed paper with hand finishing in ink and graphite. It is Swampy’s first print (not including his photo prints of course). Not sure what this really does to the prints, but Paper Monster says that “before releasing this edition of prints, he kept them locked in the closet of an abandoned house owned by an infamous cult in Oakland.” Owl of Yawn is an edition of 40, measures 20 x 26 inches and is available for $350.
The drawing, I Like Disappearing, features Swampy’s trademark character and the phrase, “I like disappearing,” which has been popping up in his work recently. It measures 20 x 25 inches and is available for $700.

For most of last week, I was in Stavanger, Norway for the 2012 Nuart Festival. Naturally, even though I was there in part as press, I spent very little time on my computer and didn’t do any blogging. So, expect a full post or two about Nuart later this week, but for now here’s what I missed writing about while I was away:

It is time for me to get a reasonable number of hours of sleep. Until I have to get up in the morning. Here’s what we didn’t get to write about on Vandalog this week:
