Revs is just awesome. I was searching through flickr for recent pics of street art, and these came up. They just had to be shared. Not enough artists weld their work to things these days.

A Sequence of Events
Thursday was the extremely crowded opening of Nick Walker’s latest show at Black Rat Press, “A Sequence of Events.” People were queued for 13 hours just to buy a print. Just the usual sort of reception that Walker receives. The show was done in conjunction with the release of Walker’s book.
Because all the work was only in one or two colors, prices were lower than usual. Also, the size of the work was generally smaller than Nick’s trademark pieces in the past. This means that prices were lower than usual and fans who might only be able to afford a print might to able to afford an original.
There aren’t any new images in this show, so I doubt anybody who didn’t like Nick in the past will be convinced to buy his work all of a sudden, but if you like Nick Walker, this show provides a solid overview of all his most popular images.

The Toaster Show
“Trespassers of The World Unite“, The Toaster’s collaborative show at Nelly Duff, was actually pretty interesting. Before it opened on Thursday, I twittered that the show could be awesome, but it could also be a complete wtf moment. After all, why does The Toaster really need a gallery show?
Well as it turns out, The Toaster did this show in an interesting enough way for it to be enjoyable. The work was varied, and the collaborations looked good. It wasn’t anywhere near as repetitive as the show could have been.
The highlight was undoubtedly the collaboration with Mr. Jago, an artist whose work I don’t usually like.

Video interview with Dain
UPDATE: After watching this video a 2nd time, it has become clear that this is some sort of a hoax see the comments section for details.
The ultra-reclusive Dain has done a video interview with Brooklynite Gallery. I had no idea this guy wasn’t the typical 20-30 year old hipster street artist.
Adam Neate at Olympia Art Fair
Adam Neate‘s latest work, “The Concert Pianist,” is a finalist for the Country Life / LAPADA Object of the Year and is on display at this year’s The Olympia International Art and Antiques Fair. It will eventually be part of his solo show, “A New Understanding,” coming to Elms Lesters in October.

Any thoughts on Adam’s new use of photographs in the background?
Limow’s Elephant
Never heard of Limow before today, but I’m liking this elephant piece in Barcelona. Sort of reminds me of Sam3.

Slinkachu Solo @ Andipa
Who doesn’t like Slinkachu? He’s not the only one doing his style of street art, but I think he’s probably the best. June 4th is the opening of his latest show show at The Andipa Gallery in London.

Whole In The Wall preview videos
Here are some videos previewing the Whole In The Wall show with Helenbeck Gallery in New York. Should be nice to see all these graffiti legends together in one show.
The Futura Snowboard
Besides street art, my passion is snowboarding. That’s why I love the latest Burton Vapor (their top of the line board). The graphics have been designed by Futura. Check them out below. While I’m not a huge fan of the bottom of this board (the image on the right), the top looks sweet. A bit out of my price range (kind of like an original Futura), but still, wow. Nice board.
