While I acknowledge his importance in the scene, I’m not a huge Ron English fan, but this painting looks pretty cool. It’s Homer Simpson painting a Jackson Pollock-esque piece. Apparently it was used in a recent episode of The Simpsons in America, but I’ve yet to see the clip so I dunno. This time lapse painting of the piece turned out great though:
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, Depoe painted some pretty amazing pieces at Primary Flight in Miami. I had the chance to speak with Depoe about his work, and here’s what he said:
If you don’t know the story of Saber‘s American Flag/Health Care Reform video, it’s quite crazy. In this video, Saber walks through the whole story in his words as well as presents a new screenprint he has made based on the original video:

What to do with an abandoned old tower built in the middle of Berlin… I know! Paint it! Flying Fortress, Craig “KR” Costello, Honet and Sozyone are doing just that in a few months. From April 1st to May 15th, those four artists will be painting The Bierpinsel tower in Berlin, which stands 46 meters (151 feet) high. I don’t know much about the project, but I’ve got a feeling that it could be something really special. This could become an iconic part of Berlin, or at least, something really cool for the locals. And Just will be there to take photos, so you know that the entire process will be well documented. Check out more on the event’s website.
Here’s a video about the event:

I did not spend nearly enough time at Basel Miami this year, but I did have a chance to stop by the Deitch Projects booth, because they are amazing. Here’s some of what I saw (though I think one of those Keith Haring pieces is from another gallery):
As I mentioned the other day, Remi and Jaybo recently did some cool live painting in Berlin. Well the video of that event has just come out, and it’s pretty cool. One of the few live painting videos I’ve seen that I haven’t skipped through.
Happened to see this film about Galo at Fresh Geezers, the show recent show at Factory Fresh in NYC with Galo and The London Police. Now it’s online.
Has Banksy finally been unmasked?
David Choe painted A LOT for the most recent show at Lazarides Gallery, where many of the artists painted outdoor murals, and this Babelgum video captures some of those pieces:
