Wild Style Wednesday!
Invisible Minority by Milo Project
If you thought Dan Witz did a good job at freaking people out on the street, Milo Project have taken his idea to another level with sculpture. Milo Project have consistently taken ideas from others (Mark Jenkins, Evereman and now Dan Witz) and taken them one step further, so I think there’s some cause for concern there if Milo Project tries to start selling their work, but in the mean time it’s just a bit of fun on the street and it’s not like they are painting over work by the artists that they emulate. Anyway, here is some of Milo Project’s Invisible Minority series:

Weekend link-o-rama
Fun side note from my week: William Parry, author of Against The Wall, spoke at my college today. He’s currently on a speaking tour around the USA, so if you happen to hear that he is in a town near you, I highly recommend going to see him. And here’s the link-o-rama:
- The Art Newspaper has a piece about the lack of authentication for Banksy’s street pieces.
- Skewville’s retrospective at Factory Fresh is a must-see.
- Check out these pieces by ORFN.
- One of Jaz’ best walls yet.
- Some great pieces by Burning Candy members, Sickboy, Nemo and others have been buffed and covered a mural-like advertisement for Coca-Cola.
- The Zes and Retna show on at Known Gallery looks absolutely amazing.
- Interesting interview with Shepard Fairey. Shepard and I definitely don’t agree on everything, but it’s cool to hear what he has to say and exactly how he defends his work.
- Speaking of Shepard Fairey, he will be guest-starring on The Simpsons soon alongside Ron English, Kenny Scharf and Robbie Conal. If The Simpsons had not officially jumped the shark before, this is it. Still, I’ll be watching.
- Cool video showing Conor Harrington at work in Ireland.

Ever’s latest murals
Here are two of Ever‘s newest murals. The one above is in Mexico city and was organized by Mamutt Creatividad and Cauce Ciudadado.
And just this week Ever finished this mural, Les enfants observaient le progres de la ville communiste quand le capitalisme est arrivé (“The children are looking at the progress of the communism city when the capitalism arrives) is in Buenos Aires. Graffitimundo has a great explanation of what exactly Ever is getting at with that wall.

Sti(c)kman Resurfaces in NYC
For some time it seemed as though Sti(c)kman had retired — or at least had taken a leave of absence — as almost no new pieces surfaced in NYC. Within the past few weeks, though, our beloved Sti(c)kman is back in full force. Here are a few recent sightings:

The Mustard Tiger by Dabs, Myla and Kems
Dabs, Myla and Kems got together recent to paint this truck, which they are calling The Mustard Tiger. I’m not sure where this was painted (guessing LA), but it’s almost definitely the coolest truck in any city.

Gaia in Williamsburg, Brooklyn
It’s great to see Gaia back in Williamsburg, where I first discovered his work. I spotted this earlier today on Bedford Avenue:
