You may have seen this video interview with C215 for Savoirchanger.com around the blogs a couple of weeks ago, but it’s in French, and this version finally has some English subtitles:

Futura has done a series of t-shirts with 12ozProphet. Kind of cool. I’m not usually a fan of straight up logo shirts, but Futura’s style trumps my usual reservations and the white t-shirt is just a straight photo of a Pointman sketch, which I think is cool. Check out some more full sets of images on 12oz. These shirts will be available very soon (about 2 and a half hours from now as of this post being published) on the 12oz website.
No word yet on the price UPDATE: Shirts are $32-36, but there is a giveaway that Hypebeast and 12ozProphet are running where you can win a free shirt. You can check out all the rules and prizes here. Seems a bit complicated to enter, but I imagine Futura fans will think it’s worth it for a t-shirt or even a photo print.
And here’s a great video interview that 12oz have done with Futura:

Who else is excited about that little comment at the end about The Twins? Sounds like Os Gemeos are involved here somehow too. Maybe some shirts of their own coming up with 12oz?

Not sure any comment will do this video justice. RIP NÉTICOS Guigo.
The video is by Choque Photos for the Biennial in Sao Paulo.

Keith Haskel just uploaded this video, Spending Time With Posterchild, about Posterchild‘s phone booth ad takeovers in New York City. Definitely worth a quick look.
Blu‘s got a DVD out. While the signed edition of 100 is already sold out, you can still get the unsigned version, which is probably a better deal anyway at about half the price…
I haven’t seen the DVD myself, so I can’t say too much about what’s on it, but it’s described as “a collection of the videos made during the last 10 years including: wall painted animations, time-lapse documentation of many murals, other hand drawn animations and over 40 minutes of extra contents technical details.” Sounds like no interview with Blu, which is unfortunate, but plenty of other interesting content. It’s available online for 16 euros.
Here’s a trailer, which shows at least a couple bits that I don’t think I’ve seen before:

Cool little video of Barry McGee at work in Sao Paulo.
UNDERCITY from Andrew Wonder on Vimeo.
UNDERCITY is a really interesting and daring documentary by Andrew Wonder, in which he follows urban historian Steve Duncan in to the belly of the New York Underground system.From the tops of bridges to the depths of sewer tunnels, Steve’s explorations of the subterranean environment are said to help him “puzzle together the interconnected, multi-dimensional history and complexity of the great metropolises of the world.”. You really have to admire Steve’s love and appreciation for the city’s lost urban infrastructure and the dangerous lengths of which he goes to in order to be one of the very few to experience it. On the other hand I do kinda think he’s a little insane, but I think that probably helps when your hobby is an extremely illegal one! A very insightful and eye opening watch!

Check out this nice little video featuring London’s very own graffiti natives Towns & Roid, who recently took a trip to the far East for a graff vacation. They delivered a hand full of European delights in both Shanghai and Ningbo. (Seen below)
Head over to Plastic Bones for a nice set of flicks accompanying the visit!
