Back in July (and actually again in August), I had the pleasure of visiting the studio that John Fekner and Don Leicht share. John and Don are two artists from one of the earliest generations of street art. John made his first piece of street art in the late 1960’s, and really got involved in …

I think it’s fair to say that while Boris Hoppek has done some street art, it’s not what he is known for. Luckily, didn’t stop Angelo from inviting him to this year’s FAME Festival where he has just painted some nice walls. Check out some more of these photos from Boris’ trip on the FAME …

I’m guessing that with college only getting busier (although, as Stickboy pointed out on Twitter, freshman year isn’t exactly the busiest), I think I’ll finally have to resort to a semi-weekly link post. So Things to look at this weekend… will probably become a weekly feature on Vandalog (but maybe with more exciting name). So …

Note from the editor: It should be mentioned that in the past I’ve been paid by the people making DOTS to help out on various parts of the project (though I was paid in artwork). Also, I still do communicate with them and help them out in small ways, but I don’t get paid for …

This year’s BLK River Festival has officially begun with this crazy new wall from the master of huge walls, Blu. Of course, Blu isn’t the only artist who will be beautifying Vienna over the next few weeks. Other artists involved in the festival this year include John Fekner, DTAGNO, Know Hope, Ox, Sam3 and Brad …

As a harsh critic of Shepard Fairey, I feel a bit hypocritical posting about this show, but I really feel like it deserves some attention. Printed Matters is the name of Fairey’s latest show taking place at Subliminal Projects in Los Angeles. What interests me most about this exhibition is the fact that it is …

On September 9, the famed contemporary curator and artist, Aaron Rose, will unveil his latest solo exhibition at CircleCulture Gallery in Berlin. Best known for his international launch of graffiti and street art into the mainstream conscious with the touring show Beautiful Losers and the documentary by the same name, Rose premieres Trouble as an …

Today I have to break my usual rules for posting on Vandalog. I’m trying to stick to cover “street artists” and not “urban artists,” but I have to make an exception for this. It would make no sense to ignore Matt Small’s upcoming solo show at Black Rat Projects. That I May See is a …

Kid Acne‘s “stabby women” have been found all around the world. Of course, I’m most familiar with them in London, but I’ve also found them in cities like New York and Barcelona. These women are some of the most interesting pieces of street art to come across. From the day they are pasted until they …

I wasn’t planning to make much mention of Banksy‘s latest work (the above stencil which can be found at a beach in Hastings). As usual though, it seems the story surrounding the art is more interesting than the piece itself: The Hastings graffiti removal squad will be leaving Banksy’s work alone. Not something entirely new …
