It was great to see RAE included in RJ’s list of 10 Street Artists to Watch in 2013 published over at Complex, as I’ve been a huge fan of RAE since his folksy, endearing characters first started surfacing on the streets of NYC. Here’s a bit of a preview of what the folks in London …

Lelo from Rio de Janeiro claims to have been apart of the street art scene since 1998. Recently, he’s been getting up a bit around Brazil and Argentina. Here are a few flicks from those recent excursions. Photos by Lelo
For the second artist in our Tim Hans shoots… series, where photographer Tim Hans takes photo-portraits of street artists and we pair them with interviews with those artists, Tim met up with artist and designer Tristan Eaton. Caroline: At what point were you like ‘screw art school’? Tristan: I dropped out of SVA after my …

Back to school on Tuesday. Actually, I’m okay with that. And of course, it means more time blogging because it means more time procrastinating. Here’s some of what we missed this week while Caroline and I were on vacation: New print from Ron English of his Obama/Hulk custom toy. If you’re a fan of Remi/Rough, …

The featured prints look …

Everything about this mural is representative of something unique about OU and ND’A’s experience. The mural features padlocks since this …

Looks like the art world has gotten back on track after the holiday season. Lots of links this week. Over at Complex.com, I wrote about the 10 (well, actually 12) street artists that I think people should be watching for in 2013. Rae, one of the artists on that list of mine, has a solo …

This piece is not new, but I only stumbled upon it recently and it seemed too interesting not to share. “Reverse graffiti” is the act of leaving a mark/tag/image by selectively cleaning a surface rather than applying paint. The video above shows Alexandre Orion dealing with São Paulo police who couldn’t make a case when they …

This recent collaboration in Miami includes some of 2012’s breakthrough street artists sharing a wall: Ever, 2501, and Pixelpancho, plus a base (although I don’t have a good photo of this part of the wall unfortunately) by El Topo. Photos courtesy of Ever and by Wil Hughes
Cel Out is a street artist working Melbourne, Australia. I started checking out his work after Caroline posted about one of Cel Out’s most recent pieces. The work is Banksy-esque, without coming off as little more than a sub-par ripoff (most of the time). I can’t wait to see what Cel Out does next. Photos …
