Dimz in Seoul

So while I was back in Seoul in July, I made an effort to scour the city for spots, cutty neighorhoods, and of course other people getting up in the streets. I was only really able to find two of the three of my criteria. While upon real investigation Seoul had some amazing locations, the entire city is apparently entirely affluent, so unlike American cities, there were no classic “ghettos.” Furthermore, it seemed that the city was almost devoid of anyone actively bombing. Besides MintOne, the only other person that I really saw that was up was Dimz. I figured, since these two writers were essentially carrying the weight for South Korea, it would be worth noting their presence in a post. So check out the flickr for more shots.

New work from Stinkfish in Colombia

A simple tip for all you aspiring street artists out there: take a page of of Stinkfish‘s book and take interesting photos of your art. I’ve been enjoying these new walls from one of my favorite Colombian street artists, but what really sets them apart from similar walls by other artists is that Stinkfish puts some thought into the damn photos, which become as interesting as the art on the wall. Faith47 is good at this too.

Anthony Lister Gets Up In NYC

Let me start off by saying I love Anthony Lister. I think his painting style is not only so individually stylized, but his figurative portraiture epitomizes a raw talent that a lot of street artists have yet to to pull off. His street art truly looks like fine art on art theatrically painted on city buildings. The Australian artist’s latest piece pops up in New York City and looks incredible.

Walls from Infart Festival

Yes, it’s true that I’ve been posting a lot about outdoor street art festivals over the past few days, but I’ve got just one more to write about (plus more news in the coming days about BLK River of course)… Infart in Bassano del Grappa, Italy. I don’t know much about this festival except that Bassano del Grappa is now covered in some beautiful new murals (many of them collaborations between a number of artists). Here are some of my favorites from Sqon-Cat, Bue, El Euro, Zosen, Kenor, Gola, Seacreative, James Kalinda, Useless, Centina and ReFreshInk.

Bastardilla at BLK River and FAME festivals

FAME Festival

Like Roa, Bastardilla is another artist who has been traveling a bit around Europe this summer participating in street art festivals. A few weeks ago, she was at FAME Festival, and now she’s just finished some walls at BLK River. Here are some of my favorites by this artist from Bogota, Columbia.

And a special thanks to Stickboy, as I think he introduced me to Bastardilla’s art a while back.

Nuart 2010: Landmarks

M-City

Stavanger’s Nuart festival is well under way right now with some huge walls finished or in progress. This year’s Nuart is called The “Landmark” Series, and artists are not taking the challenge lightly. While in Stavanger last year, I thought that the city had been pretty transformed by street art, but now things are getting bigger than ever. A few weeks ago, Elisa posted here about Dotmasters’ Toy piece, but that’s just the start of what’s been going on.

Vhils in progress
EVOL didn't actually go huge, but he made a bunch of these (check out the Know Hope tag that was already on the box)
Alexandros Vasmoulakis

And I mentioned this piece by Blu and Ericailcane a while back, but didn’t actually post photos, so here are some photos of it:
