Right near Banksy’s recent piece in anticipating of the Queen’s Jubilee in North London, Shepard Fairey has just painted a piece. Fairey’s small mural (at least compared to the scale he’s used to working at these days) was organized as part of an effort by local residents working to revitalize the neighborhood and, like Banksy’s piece, is on Turnpike Lane in the borough of Haringey. The Guardian has more details as to how the piece came about, and Hooked has more photos.

Nick Alive appears to be fairly skilled with a can. Nick Alive appears to be fairly skilled at making friends; friends with striking artistic ability. The result of all this is a mad display of the talent in São Paulo, Brazil. Fortunately for me, the documentation of Nick’s numerous collaborative pieces have networked much of this skilled community.

The team over at Living Walls in Atlanta has some exciting news this week. Possible Futures will match up to $10,000 of donations made to Living Walls between now and August 1st. Living Walls is, in my opinion, the best mural festival or conference in North America, but the conference relies on donations to make it happen. Thanks to Possible Futures, any donation you make now through August 1st will go twice as far, so even if you can only spare a few dollars, I hope you will consider donating to Living Walls.

We don’t visit Bedford-Stuyvesant as often as we should, as its walls are among the most interesting – and least documented – around town. But we did get over there earlier this week, where we discovered new work by RAE and Gaia and found a huge mural — overlooking a community garden — by Lelo, a street artist from Rio de Janeiro.
