‘See No Evil’ in Bristol
I’ve just had an incredible week volunteering at ‘See No Evil’ in Bristol where over 40 artists have spent the last week painting the dull concrete of Nelson Street. The week finished with an amazing block party (the street was packed!) and it certainly no longer looks dull! There are too many to mention but …

Thank you Atlanta/Living Walls
Over the last week or so, there have been a lot fewer posts on Vandalog than usual. Two reasons for that: This week I’ve been spending time with my family and relaxing, but last week it was because I was in Atlanta for the second annual Living Walls Conference. It was a crazy few days, …

Escif for Living Walls Atlanta
As Gaia mentioned, a bunch of artists were painting murals last week in Atlanta for the Atlanta leg of the Living Walls Conference. My personal favorite of the walls I’ve seen so far (I was there, but a few walls were still unfinished when I left town) is this one by Escif. Photos by RJ …

Lazarides back at The Old Vic Tunnels for The Minotaur
Lazarides are headed back to The Old Vic Tunnels off of Leake Street in London, the site of last year’s Hell’s Half Acre show and Banksy’s launch for Exit Through the Gift Shop. If you thought Hell’s Half Acre was a bit of a posh haunted house, you ain’t seen nothing yet. From October 10th …

Mundano’s quasi-monstrous creatures surface throughout São Paulo & more
Often exuding a playful social consciousness, Mundano’s delightful quasi-monsters surface randomly throughout the city. I discovered them in quite a few unlikely places. Here are a few: “Sao Paulo is an ashtray.” The following fun video that Mundano shared with me showcases a social action project that he initiated in which 130 artists — 80% of …

Pantheon catalog launch reception
Earlier this year, the Pantheon show, curated by Daniel Feral and Joyce Manalo, took place across the street from MoMA in New York. The massive 426-page catalog is finally ready and will be launched this weekend. They are describing it as “a hybrid of scholarly journal, popular magazine, and graff zine” and it features over 400 …

Weekend link-o-rama
Well, it’s been quite a week for me at least. Here’s what I wasn’t posting about while I was busy breaking up fights… Tox has been jailed for an absolutely insane sentence of 27 months for writing graffiti. There are not words the express who screwed up that sentence is. The British Transport Police claim …

Spotlight on Mighty Mo at Tony’s Gallery
Burning Candy have a show, A Fist Full of Paint, on right now at Tony’s Gallery in London. There’s work by Rowdy, LL Brainwashed, Sweet Toof, Dscreet and Mighty Mo. For the most part, it’s the sort of show you’d expect from Burning Candy. I’m a fan of the crew, so I enjoyed it. But …
