Well it was the first week of midterms for me, so lots of time was spent locking myself in my room, turning off the wifi and just studying. On the plus side, had a great meeting today trying to get some grant money from my college to bring street artists to campus and I took …

MOMO‘s debut U.S. solo show opened last week at Anno Domini in San Jose. Better Than 2009 is one of the most interesting things I’ve seen recently, since MOMO is just so different from most street artists. Certainly, there aren’t many street artists trying to paint anything abstract and MOMO gets a lot more conceptual …

A couple of years ago, I mentioned to one of my high school teachers that I liked street art. She got really excited. Turns out, she a. a huge tattoo by Mike Giant on her back and b. once interviewed South African street artist Faith47. At the time, I’d either not seen or not taken …

D*face is known for billboard takeovers, messing with pop culture icons, messing with corporate logos and his “d-dog” icon. He’s kind of like Kaws in that D*face inserts himself into pop …

Almost everybody’s favorite abstract street artist (okay Elisa Carmichael probably prefers Aakash and he’s cool too), MOMO, has a solo show opening this week at Anno Domini in San Jose. I’m sure that Better Than 2009 is going to be a “can’t miss” event, as MOMO rarely disappoints. I actually remember MOMO’s wheatpastes as being …

So last week premiered the Stolenspace opening of some amazing work by artists featured in the Don’t Panic packs that you find around London. On the walls hung pieces by Shepard Fairey, C215 …

Usually, I love the shows that Pure Evil hosts. With a keen eye for fellow artistic talent, Pure Evil has put on some amazing solo shows with the likes of ROA, Dran and Specter, just to name a few. This time around though, I am a little disappointed to hear that Robbo is the latest …

So, I like to procrastinate. This week, I didn’t get to post everything I wanted to here because I was catching up on homework. I spent 12 hours on trains and buses last weekend, and didn’t get a single piece of homework done. Because of that, I haven’t been able to write about everything awesome …
