ND’A painted the latest piece at The L.I.S.A. Project NYC (co-curated by Wayne Rada and I) this week in NYC’s Little Italy. He painted on a door that was last painted by Bishop203 earlier this year. I probably shouldn’t write this, but this is honestly my second favorite piece I’ve helped to organize in Little …

I think this piece by Escif close our our coverage of Public Art Horsens, a recent mural project in Horsens, Denmark. I really love what Escif did here. He has done a great job in Horsens and elsewhere of subverting expectations and keeping rebellion in mural festivals in programs that all-too-often just result in wall …

Two One is one of my favourite artists in Melbourne. I’ve enjoyed finding his work on the streets for many years, starting with his infamous elephant throwies and evolving into giant, yet intricate pieces. His studio work is also amazing. His latest show at Backwoods Gallery “Define Nothing” shows off his latest style and is …

Elfo has just given up the keys to his Facebook account for a piece he is calling Free Login. This begins what is intended to be a 10-day digital performance something like a modern version of Marina Abramović’s Rhythm 0 or Yoko Ono’s Cut Piece. You can now log in to his elfostreetart@yahoo.it account using the …

Wait! The weekend isn’t over yet. Enjoy a bit of light reading and cool photos before the work week returns: Gylnn Judd aka Noir wrote a great op-ed in The Guardian about VAMP’s recent prison sentence and living the double-life of graffiti writer and gainfully-employed family man. Complex.com published my list of the top 25 …

Specter is a rare and fascinating thing; his acrylic, hand-painted wheatpastes are detailed enough to emulate the real thing, and subtle enough for passersby to not even notice them. Really, it’s quite a gift and a curse. In the last year, he’s worked on projects around the world and is finally back to his hometown of Brooklyn …

Upon entering the studio of illustrator Jon Burgerman, you are transported to a space entirely devoted to a world of extreme sights and sounds that connate the artist’s work. Contrasted by the days of rain surrounding New York, the shuffles of crowds and warm hues shone through the bleak emptiness outside. Holding cups of English …

Some things need to be seen in person. In terms of massive murals, a picture may be able to transmit small details of a piece and/or the overall wall, but not both at the same time. Hyuro‘s new wall is no exception, so while I am providing several detail shots, it is probably impossibly difficult …

Drawing for the Masses is a group show of about a dozen international street showing, not just any drawings, but personal drawings and prepatory sketches that would be the blueprints for eventual murals. While a rough sketch of an existing mural may not seem that exiting, 999 Gallery assures you that these works are sometimes …

Sorry for all the downtime on Vandalog this week. I dunno what’s up with Vandalog’s web host. If you have suggestions of a good web host that I could move to (even though I just switched to Gandi), let me know. Anyway, here’s what I’ve been reading: Wow. Cannon Dill and Brett Flanigan painted some …
