Gaia and NohJColey just completed this mural for Espeis Outside in New York City. I for one am loving this double-animal thing that Gaia has been doing lately, and although Gaia and NohJ aren’t an obvious duo to collaborate with each other, the result is surely interesting.

Babelgum just released a short video shot by Radar Twenty-One about Aakash Nihalani. I like to watch videos in which artists step back and talk about their work and as much of this footage, which follows Aakash through New York and films him at work on the street, is interspersed with his thoughtful commentary, I …

As mentioned a few days ago, Ericailcane has been in Brighton working towards an exhibit (alongside Dem, Run, Cat Johnston and Andy Doig) at Prescription Art. In addition to several great installation works, there are some beautiful works on paper (the one above, Uchello 2, is my favorite) and a few limited edition prints and …

The New York Post reports that PosterBoy (or, if you like to believe the confusing history of this whole arrest story, one follower of the PosterBoy movement because there is not single PosterBoy) has been sentenced to 210 hours of community service after pleading guilty to two counts of criminal mischief. Seems like a bit …
