Honestly, I’m rushing this post because I’ve got to leave my house in 5 minutes, but have a look at this video from Mundano. What really interests me about artists like Mundano and Zezao, as well as many more traditional mural painters, is that the setting of the painting becomes as important as the content. Mundano painted this piece in an important place, so now I’ve heard about something important that I probably never would have seen otherwise.

Doodles just came down to Atlanta from Oakland to finish this gorgeous 35 x 100 ft mural to kick off the Living Walls projects that will be beginning in august!
After 6 months of “Team Robbo” running around, you’d think people would be tired of the guy already. I am. When 10 Foot dissed Banksy and a few other street artists, he was still getting up. As far as I can tell, dissing Banksy is all Robbo is doing these days. It’s not even that I agree or disagree with the politics of what Robbo is up to, it just bores me after 6 months. Juxtapoz isn’t bored yet though. They just posted an interview with Robbo. So, you know, if you disagree with me and you think Robbo is still interesting, you may want to check out that interview on Juxtapoz’ website.

Following their live performance at the second Lawnfest Charity event hosted by Camilla Al Fayed and sponsored by Gallery Nosco, French artists Dran and Brusk from the DMV crew left their mark in East London.
Dran and Brusk actively painted a fresh mural day and night over the week end in Great Eastern Street. The collaboration depicts a dragon monster representing a CEO (still wearing his tie on) eating an employee, while Dran’s signature children characters are happily riding and laughing on his back.

David Choe‘s monograph is set to be released on July 7th. Choe has done a few books before, but this looks to be his biggest one yet. For now, you can pre-order the book on Amazon
Another thing that I missed while I was out of touch with the rest of the world was Maya Hayuk’s first prints at Pictures on Walls. These prints are beautiful, like a lot of Hayuk’s art. Even though she’s been around for years, I only came across Hayuk this past December. At first, I wasn’t sure what to think of what I saw, but now I know what to this: This woman is brilliant.
Unfortunately, both of these prints have already sold out, but I thought I would just share the images anyway.
The very last film (for now) that I’ve helped to make for Babelgum is this chat with Pure Evil at his gallery and studio space in London…
Since the end of May until a few days ago, I’d been more or less cut off from the street art world. I was driving around Europe with my friends. That’s not particularly important, though I would like to thank Logan Hicks, Ripo, Paulo, C215, Nunca and (especially) Angelo for spending time with us.
Here’s some of the things that I missed while I was away…
With Ludvig, you probably either love it or you hate it. For me, his style is a unique twist on old-school graffiti. That’s why we met up recently to make this time-lapse of Ludvig painting at Leake Street in London. Good stuff.
