Freshman year is almost over and soon I’ll be leaving Philadelphia for NYC and London (just for the summer though). And yet, I still have finals to study for, so I didn’t get time to write about these things… Matt Small’s first LA solo show opened this week. Juxtapoz visited Deuce 7’s studio. I did …

I’ve always been mesmerized by 3-D graffiti and Venice, Italy’s Peeta is one if its masters. I’ve seen his pieces on the streets of Brooklyn and at 5-Pointz in Queens, but I wasn’t quite sure how his artwork would transfer to a canvas.

The seller describes the piece as and 12 x 8 feet and “mixed media on concrete.” Of course, the piece would never come with official Pest Control certification (standard for legitimate …

A reader sent these photos in of artist Ted Mikulski‘s work. Based in Connecticut, Mikulski mixes text, street and concept art that makes for cheeky pieces that create a dialogue with the audience and their environment. These works specifically use Twitter as the source of conversation, but put it in it’s correct context by connecting …

This new mural by Gaia was painted last weekend at my school, Haverford College (a bit outside of Philadelphia). Just thought I’d share.
Had the pleasure of putting up a little work in Philadelphia with Nanook over the weekend after speaking and painting at Haverford College. These pieces were shot by the nice people over at StreetsDept. More details shots after the jump.
