Last week I had the chance to spend 2 days in New York City. New York is where modern graffiti and street art originated (yes I am aware that Cornbread was from Philadelphia), so it was a trip I had been looking forward to for a while. I crammed as much art into my visit …

Last month I posted about recession inspired street art. One of the pieces I put in that post was a wheatpaste that said “Enjoy Economic Slowdown.” Turns out, that was made by a person/group called Enjoy Banking and they’ve got a whole set of these slogans. Apparently, they’ve been popping up in New York lately.
I’ve been away from my computer for a few days, and though I’m still on vacation, I’m trying to get caught up on the news of the street art world. Here are a few of the things I’ve been looking at: The Carmichael Gallery has some cool exhibitions on right now and the work is …

If you’re not familiar with Supreme, they are a clothing company who seem, at first glance, pretty hip or whatever. Unfortunately, they are also known for being big fans of flypasting. Their advertising campaigns always seem to consist of photos of celebrities wearing their clothing. These adverts get stuck up in locations which also happen …

A few weeks ago I posted about The Treatment Rooms. In that post, I briefly mentioned the Angola 3 and Kenny Zulu Whitmore. They are prisoners in Angola Prison who have spent over 30 years in solitary confinement. Their stories are really terrible, and you can learn more on Wikipedia or Zulu’s website. The Free …
