It’s been a while since I posted anything from Zezão, so here’s a bit of what he has been painting over the last year or so…

Russian Artist Collective “Concrete Jungle” Brings its Vision to Bushwick
In this 90+ degree weather, Felix Mashkov and Vadim Gerasimenko of Concrete Jungle have been at work these past few days in Bushwick, Brooklyn creating a starkly stylish winter wonderland. Though they are returning to their hometown of Vladivostok tomorrow, they promise to return this year. Here are some images captured yesterday:

10 freights by Baer
Recently I’ve been spending a bit of time looking at freight graffiti. I’m no expert in graffiti, but Baer‘s work immediately stood out. His style is beyond “graffiti beyond letters,” and is more like something ripped from a pages of a graphic novel. But that doesn’t mean he has thrown letters away, just that they are sometimes a bit more hidden. Wild style that changes letters into other graphics rather than abstraction. Sort of like Horfe or Lush. Clearly, Baer isn’t the only guy to paint this way, but damn is he good. The folks at Juxtapoz are fans too.
Check out nine more great Baer freight pieces after the jump, thanks to tronald tronomics. You can find more in his flickr group. Continue reading “10 freights by Baer”

DAL does it again
Showing once again how he is one of the most visually arresting muralists around, Dal recently painted this mural of a whale in Melun, France. It is called C. And yes, I’m aware that I posted this tweet last night. Dal’s mural is big, but that’s not what makes it good.

Street art at the London Pleasure Gardens
Ron English, Shepard Fairey, TrustoCorp and Risk painted last week at the London Pleasure Gardens, a brand new cultural center of sorts from the folks behind MuTate Britain. Fairey has had some involvement with MuTate Britain organization before, but I’m not sure about the other artists. Whatever the case, there’s some nice work that went up at the gardens, including Fairey’s tallest mural to date and some great work on airplane nosecones by Risk and English (shown above).
Swap Fairey for Saber and you have the line-up at Letters from America, the show Corey Helford Gallery is putting on at Black Rat Projects starting July 4th, so if you like this work, definitely check out that show too.
Here’s some of the work at the London Pleasure Gardens, and we’ll probably do a part-2 of with more work in a few days:

Weekend link-o-rama
It’s time to read about the news I missed this week, if you missed it too.
- Jorge Rodriguez Gerada’s latest show looks absolutely fabulous.
- Faith47 gets it right again.
- My friends at Station16 released prints last month with LNY and Enzo & Nio.
- Graffuturism provides an introduction to Zoer CSX.
- A Kid Acne solo show just opened in LA.
- Sad news but expected for the world graffiti community: 5Pointz, a graffiti Mecca in New York City, is going to be demolished around September 2013.
- Wondering what Revok has been up to since moving to Detroit? Here’s your answer: Some good stuff.
- New mural from the DMV guys.
- Lewy BTM hit the side of the Brooklyn Bridge, something that happened in 1988 with Sane and Smith and then again in 2000 with Year and Sace, but certainly isn’t an everyday occurrence. Lewy’s work has already been buffed.

A travel update from Roa
Roa just sent over some photos from his travels earlier this year. Amazingly, these pics only cover from January through April, and we aren’t posting all the pieces he’s done in that time.
More after the jump… Continue reading “A travel update from Roa”
