With the team at Carmichael Gallery sadly tearing down his installation today, I decided I’d give you all a little update on what Know Hope got up to next. After finishing his work in LA, Know Hope flew to New York to represent Israel at “No Soul For Sale – A Festival of Independents” at …

This is a guest post by sebastian from unurth The street art I most enjoy posting on unurth is by those artists that haven’t broken into the mainstream yet, so when RJ asked me to do a guest post on Vandalog, I thought I’d post about some great emerging artists from here in LA. No …

This is a guest post by Tanley Wong. Tanley is the Co-Founder of Arrested Motion. Hey guys, my name is Tan and this is my first post on Vandalog. It’s an honor to be invited to back-up RJ, as we’ve long been a fan of his street art coverage “across the pond”. On Saturday, Invader and WK Interact drew a big …

I know next to nothing about Skullphone, except he’s known for putting his logo up everywhere. Found this recent project of his yesterday though, and it looks pretty cool. Hate the recession, but you gotta love the recession inspired street art. Skullphone has been finding abandoned/dead gas stations and putting up these posters: More examples …

Now, urban/street art is appearing more in Contemporary Art auctions, which, I think, is a good sign for …

Everybody’s talking about Banksy‘s new exhibition, Banksy Versus The Bristol Museum, which runs from today until August 31st. I went for the preview last night, and so I thought I’d write a little run-through of the show. The first thing you see when you walk into the museum is indeed that recreation of Banksy’s Glastonbury …

UPDATE (12:56am): As the night has worn on, I’ve lost confidence the validity of this photo. I think there is at least a 50% chance that this photo is either fake, part of ploy/decoy, or only one component of the Banksy Summer Show. So no more rumors, you can probably just disregard this post, and …

This past weekend, the UK played host to two big street art and graffiti festivals. I’ll do a post on each. First, Bristol’s Upfest. This event is more street art focused. Probably the biggest named involved was Hush. Here are a few of the highlights… More after the jump…
I’m a sucker for a. animal related street art and b. art made with a black spray can, which is why I like Klone‘s horse. Also, Klone’s recently released a screen print, “Dual Identity”, which is a simple and fairly cheap edition of 45 for $50 each direct from Klone.
