More photos are popping up of Steve Powers’ recent project A Love Letter For You (as previously mentioned). Found these photos on Hurt You Bad (I love it how the graffiti blog that coined the term “art fags” is promoting people like Steve Powers just because they have a graffiti background. Imagine what they would …

Days is Steve Powers‘ latest solo show, and it opens next Friday at V1 Gallery in Copenhagen. Should be a good one. It runs through June 4th.
In an internet-age twist on Steve Powers’ famous ESPO shutters, Spain’s MVIN has painted a massive piece across 99 shutters in Barcelona.

It’s been a while since I did a link-o-rama, but I’m really behind right now and it seems the only way to catch up. I’ve been living in my wifi-less apartment, and I’m headed to London, so these few minutes I’m spending in a cafe may be my only chance for a while to write …

This summer I’ve been interning at The City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. The program is a city-run organization that has installed thousands of murals in Philadelphia over the last 30 years. Most of the artists they work with are traditional muralists, but they have also worked with Kenny Scharf, Steve Powers and others from …

It’s that time again. Enjoy the rest of the interwebs… Giant wooden Kaws sculptures. I love Ankles, and he is really crushing it with these ad disruptions. These NSA memes are great, especially the Shepard Fairey ones. These interventions by R1 are an unexpected joy. Steve Powers just directed a music video and made a …
