I would absolutely love to see something by Dan Witz in person one day. If you’re in New York, that’s been possible since the 1970’s, but now Dan Witz has a solo show coming up at the Carmichael Gallery in LA. The press release: Carmichael Gallery is proud to present Dark Doings, a solo exhibition …

Street art news seems to come in cycles, right now there is a lot of news coming in. Here’s a few highlights: Sam3 has a new book out with Studiocromie and it looks great. More info at Feed Your Wall. Shepard Fairey’s opening at the Warhol Museum looks amazing, but as Richard Lacayo points out, …

The first (along with the time lapse video of Roa painting) in a series of videos I’ve started to make for Babelgum.com is this tour of The Brick Lane Zoo, a show that just closed at The Brick Lane Gallery. Every week there will be two new videos going online: one will be a sort …

Two timelapse videos to share today. The first is this one by the Brazilian street artist Mundano: And the second video is kind of special. This video of Roa painting outside of Urban Angel in London is the first in a series of videos that I’m making for Babelgum.com’s Metropolis channel. Let me know what …

This latest piece by Above is pretty cool and something that a lot of street artists could learn from. He’s not the first to mix 2d and 3d elements in a piece (in fact, this isn’t even the first time Above has done that), I just still like when he does. FLYING IN THE WIND …

As far as I’m concerned, Adam Neate is one of the best painters of a generation. From what I’ve been hearing on and off the record, his recent solo show at Elms Lesters in London has been getting very mixed reviews. Many people are saying he is even more brilliant than before, others feel vindicated …

This seems like a cool line up for a group show. Especially looking forward to Skullphone, Neck Face and Taki 183 since I have never seen their work in the UK and I’m a big fan of Neck Face in particular. Here’s the press release: Lava Collective presents: Cityscape Previews November 5th, 6pm – 9:30pm. …

Graffiti and street artists would not have the same global community they are fortunate to have today if it weren’t for all the great photographers out there documenting their every move and sharing what they snap with the rest of the world. I think we sometimes take for granted how important a good photo is …

Happy birthday to Vandalog. October 15th is the 1st birthday of Vandalog. In the last year, there have been 600-some posts from 7 different writers (not including the Great in 08 series), the addition of Gaia and Elisa Carmichael as contributing writers, interviews with artists like Veng and Matt Small and a bunch of other …

Roa has spent the last week or so in London, and he’s been doing quite a bit of painting. He’s maybe the most prolific street artist I can think of. I went out this afternoon to take photos of the pieces I knew about and discovered 3 new ones walking around Brick Lane. These are …
