Not Safe For Work Warning: Dear people reading this in the workplace, I would guess that neither this intro nor this interview are appropriate to read in most workplaces. Also, if you’re my grandparents, the intro and the interview are probably not appropriate to read anywhere.
Happy weekend. Are you on the east coast of the USA? If so, are you melting? Vandalog blogger Rhiannon Platt will be speaking today in NYC at All City Canvas’ event. ACC also has a series of online discussions coming up. Good for a laugh: 14 street art terms defined and illustrated. Alexis Diaz painted …

I’ve been extremely busy this last month working on an introduction to a friend’s street art book and also some exciting projects here in Melbourne (as well as taking care of my good mates Melbourne Street art blog while he is away), all of which …
