Zéh Palito’s BAKUM(favela) project
Zéh Palito has been working to brighten up two favelas in Recife, Brazil for his BAKUM(favela) project. These are a few of my favorite pieces from the series, but there are many more on his flickr.

Weekend link-o-rama
So I’ve been working a lot lately on Re:Humanities, a symposium of undergraduate work in the digital humanities. It’s taking place next week at Swarthmore College, just outside of Philadelphia. I hope you’ll come check it out if you’re nearby. I’ll be speaking about how the internet has changed street art, and there are a bunch of other great topics up for discussion for anyone interested in the digital humanities. Okay, that’s my personal announcement for the week, now onto the news:
- Conor Harrington, Dscreet and Ronzo collaborated on this wall over in Dalston.
- Sweet Toof and Paul Insect have also been painting some fantastic walls in London.
- Okay so this video of a piece by Verbo isn’t the best quality, but the piece is pretty awesome and very different from a lot of what is out there. I wish I could have seen the animation in the flesh and I hope he continues to work with this combination of mural and digital projection.
- 2 Many Printers is a cool little clothing brand with t-shirts by Husk Mit Navn, Ian Stevenson and others.
- This mural is probably my absolute favorite piece of public art that I’ve seen related to the Egyptian Revolution.
- Glad to see I’m not the only one who thinks Anthony Lister’s “Planet of the Apes” mural was problematic and a disservice to the art community.
- C215 has a show in Paris of stained glass windows based on his imagery.
- Shepard Fairey is involved in a possible new film version of 1984. Could be cool, although it’s a bit ironic since Fairey was involved in trying to rewrite history himself when he submitted doctored evidence in a court case.
- Niels Shoe Muelman has a show opening this week at 941 Geary in SF.

China Style Wednesday!
Being that I just got back from China, I decided to do this week’s Wild Style Wednesday with the graffiti and street art of the Chinese city of Shanghai.
Legal Team? Whatever that means.

New work by Hush and an upcoming solo show
That flared tag is chilling. Hush gave us this as a little sample of what we’re to expect at his upcoming solo show in May at Metro Gallery in Melbourne. The show will be displaying a large body of his work and wide range of techniques. RJ and I frequently debate Hush’s work since we have strong opinions and fairly different tastes, but even he liked this one. What do you think?

What do you think of Hopare?
This work is by Hopare, a French artist. I can’t quite figure out what I think of his work. At first glance I loved it. He is definitely technically skilled, beyond competent. But then I began to question that initial reaction. Is Hopare doing anything all that distinctive or stylistically progressive? I’m not sure. But that’s why I’m asking: What do you think?
