The spot on Hanbury Street in London previously occupied by Ben Slow’s work (twice) is now home to a collaboration between Bom.K of Da Mental Vaporz and Liliwenn that looks a bit like a wall-sized game of exquisite corpse. Photos by Shafiur Rahman
This video is spellbinding. Roa’s show Dominant Species ran from September 15th to November 3rd in San Fransisco’s 914 Geary Gallery and MOCAtv produced this video as one in a series of artist biopics for the Art in the Streets section.

Being the lighthearted soul that they are, Hanksy went out earlier this week to spread a little Thanksgiving cheer, but not without a signature pun in hand. With a holiday that begs for a Tom Hanks pun, the artist brought his work to the streets of Bushwick. Photo courtesy of Hanksy
I discovered Stikman one fall afternoon back in 2007 while walking down Rivington Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. It was love at first sight. And from that day on, I began to notice him – sometimes alone and other times in the company of his fellow stikmen — in just about every neighborhood I …
