Yesterday The Gothamist reported that Posterboy was arrested on Friday night. Jim Kiernan, who was supposed to be photographing Posterboy on Friday, has been kind enough to give us his take on what happened. The back story is that I started as a writer way back in the day. I dropped that a long time …

Since Vandalog started 100-some days ago, I’ve mentioned Veng four times. Why is that? It’s not just because I have nothing to talk about. It’s because one, I wanted to feature him and his crew, Robots Will Kill; two, Andrew Michael Ford from Ad Hoc Art mentioned them as well when he spoke about great …

Anybody who likes Imminent Disaster should read it, and if you don’t know who she is, you’ll probably like her by the end of the …

Oddly enough, the art depicting Bush seems to convey a different message from the art featuring Obama. …

C-Monster has a very good post up about the NY Post‘s recent comments about a wall in the city well-known for its graffiti/street art. Naturally, they are not too happy that it exists. I’ve not seen this wall in person, but based on the above photo by f.trainer, it looks like one of the city’s …

Really cool project going on in Brooklyn recently that combines street art and photography (and not in that annoying Robin Rhode way). Artists Matt Adams and Katie Sokoler made thought bubbles with images inside them, taped them throughout Brooklyn, and and photographed people walking by at just the right moment. The result is pretty clever …
