Months late, I’ve finally uploaded all the photos from my 3 week holiday traveling through Europe in June/July to flickr. You can see the full set of street art photos here, but I thought it would be fun to pick out a few highlights. First, Venice. The Swimming Cities were gone this time I was …

So a week or two ago Know Hope says to me that he has a secret project in the works. Something about taking over an abandoned house. Sounded like a great idea, but I wasn’t sure if anything would actually come of it. Turns out, Know Hope and his friends were further along than I …

Well you can’t say Slinkachu isn’t creative. I really think he’s one of the most interesting street artists out there these days. This piece is one of five he has worked on in the past two days since arriving at FAME Fest.

Elate is one of my favorite writers in London. In fact, he’s probably my favorite London writer who doesn’t paint characters or have some sort of logo. He showed up with the Chrome and Black shop/crew, and new there something new from him on Sclater Street or Brick Lane every other week. This is a …
Imminent Diaster just put up this new piece out in Williamsburg. This spot has had quite a history with this wonderful and consistent artist.

Looks like this could be the latest Banksy piece, captured by Romanywg in Westbourne Park, London.
