On a similar note to my last post, Burning Candy has reclaimed a wall in Hackney Wick very recently. Unfortunately, I don’t have permission to you Romanywg’s photos (I should really ask him for that because he takes spectacular pictures), so for the 6 months ago and 10 days ago images I have to give …

Great piece by Cyclops and Sweet Toof of the Burning Candy crew photographed by Nolionsinengland. Keep an eye on The Thousands’ blog for a BC related announcement soon.
It was recently suggested that Vandalog doesn’t do any reporting or write much anymore, and that’s part of why we suck. It’s true that I haven’t been posting as much lately.

This month, Swampy and ekg both released quite unexpected video pieces on YouTube, and I happened see a relatively new piece by Adam Void aka AVOID pi for the first time (even though it was uploaded in June). What I find so interesting about these three artists making these videos is that all three come …

What am I missing? Because I don’t have much to add this week for the link-o-rama. It’s the middle of summer? Aren’t people getting up? Am I just not seeing it? Horfe and Coney/Ken Sortais went wild in an abandoned swimming pool. Sweet Toof is understandably upset that a recent mural project in Hackney, where …

Caroline Caldwell: What influenced you to do street art? Do you remember your first time? Sweet Toof: No one forgets the first time, its like sex, …

As I’ve been gearing up for midterms, I’ve missed posting some great outdoor work (and other things) this week. Does the buffman have a sense of humor or did mobstr do this himself? Barry McGee, Chris Johanson, & Laurie Reid showing together in SF. You may have seen the video of Margaret Kilgallen on Art21 …

Lucas Price, perhaps best-known as Cyclops of the Burning Candy crew, has a show opening next month in London at Rove Gallery in Hoxton. T E A M Atlas will include new oil paintings and drawings from Price. For some sense of what Price does indoors, here are some photos from his 2009 solo show …

One of the best things that street art can do, which doesn’t happen often, is that it can truly engage with people and inspire them. There are two whimsical projects potentially happening this summer which, while not traditional street art, come from that same place. And they need some support or else they might not …
