Two gallery shows to mention today. First, a show that surpised me. Last time Jaybo had a solo show in London, it wasn’t for me. Naturally, I didn’t rush to see Jaybo’s new paintings at Signal Gallery. Earlier this week, I made it over and I have to say I liked this new work much …

This is pretty exciting. According to nola.com, there is an original Banksy piece on display at the New Orleans Museum of Art. The piece is a canvas with the Nola girl image and pink rain.
It’s been pointed out that there was something very important that I missed in yesterday’s post about Banksy’s auction results. WallKandy, on WallKandy’s forums in fact, noted this morning that Lyon & Turnbull, the auction house whose representative is quoted in the original Bloomberg article, kind of had it coming and shouldn’t be suprised that …
Yesterday I had the chance to see Urban Angel’s latest group show, The Show Must Go On. There are a bunch of artists involved in the show, but I’ve just picked a few high (and low) lights to cover here. As usual, Best Ever is coming out with even better work. These guys have continued …

Vhils completely surprised everybody there by literally taking a jackhammer to the walls of Leake Street. So then he released a couple of prints at Pictures on Walls which sold …

The official video for Charming Baker‘s recent show “The Meaning of Everything” has just been released. Normally I’m not one for videos of shows when I could just look at photos that are a higher quality, but kind of like the soundtrack to this video, so I’m posting it. Charming Baker is one of those …

Today I’m being a bit lazy and just sharing a few links, but I’ve just spent all day catching up on a backlog of emails and RSS feeds, so hopefully I can be excused. A full review of Vhil’s show at Lazarides gallery is coming tomorrow. Most of these things are a bit dated and …

Dan Witz, who needs to become much better known in the UK by the way, has started on a new project and it is as great as ever. Here are a few images from “Dark Doings“: Without a doubt, these street pieces are impressive, but what about Witz’ work in the gallery. Here is a …

ABOVE (interviewed) continues his trip throughout Europe with a stop in Berlin, Germany, making his mark on the Berlin Wall a little over 20 years after Ronald Regan made his historic speech at Brandenburg Gate stating, “Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!” Here are some detailed photos ABOVE’s massive word/play …
