There was a very positive response from my first holiday gift guide post about affordable prints, so I thought it might be worth putting together a similar list for art books. 1. The Faith of Graffiti by Norman Mailer and Jon Naar Okay, this book isn’t actually released until December 29th, but it absolutely needs …

A little diary entry sort of thing from me went online today on Drago’s website. Of course, I encourage you to have a read of the full thing yourself, but here’s a sample: I went to Miami for Art Basel and the satellite events there. The experience has made me realize how mainstream some street …

There are a lot of pictures out there of Nunca’s wall for the Deitch/Goldman Wynwood Walls Project during Art Basel Miami as it looked at the opening party, but not so many people saw the finished piece. Nunca continued to work on the characters, coloring and background details right up until late Sunday night, and, as …

Yesterday was the opening of the New York City leg of the Nike/Livestrong Stages exhibition which also had a stop in France. While some of the work was the same, there were some new artists in this show like Os Gêmeos. Arrested Motion was there and took plenty of photos. The lineup for stages is …

I’ve been thinking quite a bit about Os Gemeos recently, for various reasons, and was planning to write a general post about them. Rumors then began to surface that they would soon be painting the wall at the corner of Bowery and Houston Street in SoHo that was formerly home to a Keith Haring tribute …

Let’s say you own Black Rat Press. You want to do a group show with three of your artists who challenge people’s preconceptions about painting and street art. Who do you choose? That’s right. You bring together Swoon, Matt Small, and Brian Adam Douglas (aka Elbowtoe). Swoon is a female wheatpaster who spawned an entire …
