Kaff-eine is another of my favourite Melbourne street artists. Since first discovering Kaff’s characters pasted in Melbourne’s alleyways, I quickly fell in love with her work. Kaff-eine paints using a number of different media, including aerosol, pigment ink, watercolor and acrylic paint. Her characters light up drab grey walls and alleys and bring real character to Melbourne’s …

It seems that the world never slows down. I’m supposed to be on vacation and it’s been one of my busiest weeks all year, so here’s what’s been going on elsewhere across the web: Ron English interviews Shepard Fairey. Shepard Fariey’s show at Stolenspace in London opened this week. Here are plenty of photos. I …

Vinchen is a really underrated street artist from Columbus, Ohio who I haven’t given nearly enough attention to. Vinchen is one of the few politically-minded stencil artists besides Banksy who can consistently interest me.

Yes, he can be seen wandering around Shoreditch looking at work or at the gallery openings, but he isn’t just a …

Bristol holds a special place in the UK’s graffiti culture. Distinct from other cities it’s laid back attitude and independent spirit has been in part responsible for producing a number of pioneering artists since the 1980’s such as 3D, Inkie (who now organises the huge See No Evil street art festival), Nick Walker, Sickboy, Mudwig …

Here’s some stuff I missed this week while sitting under a giant stack of books and papers to read, mostly stuff I was supposed to read for school but avoided because I was at Nuart last weekend. The British Zeus recently had a solo show in London. Sandra Butterfly got the photos. These throw-ups by …
