El Mac in Canada

I know I haven’t been too active here lately. My dissertation and job hunting in London has pretty much consumed my life that past few weeks. But I saw this new El Mac piece on Arrested Motion and am absolutely in love with it. On a recent trip to Montreal, Canada, the artist painted this piece entitled Spirit in Summer as an homage to the town of Rosemount. The woman depicted is apparently El Mac’s interpretation of Rose Phillips, after whom the town is named.

Hoping this is going to be a print, because I would love to look at this piece on a daily basis in my flat.

El Mac

First week of school down. Just a boatload more to go. Here’s what I’ve been checking out to procrastinate doing homework:

‘See No Evil’ in Bristol

I’ve just had an incredible week volunteering at ‘See No Evil’ in Bristol where over 40 artists have spent the last week painting the dull concrete of Nelson Street. The week finished with an amazing block party (the street was packed!) and it certainly no longer looks dull!

There are too many to mention but for me some of the highlights came from Mau Mau, Xenz, Nick Walker, Mr Jago, China Mike, Tats Crew, El Mac, What Collective, Mysterious Al, Cosmo, Paris, SPQR and Stickee.

The photos below are just a fraction of what is there:

"A Study In Fecundity" by Elbowtoe

I’m baking alive here in Atlanta for Living Walls, but damn things are coming along nicely. Nanook and Gaia have finished a couple of walls, including this one. But Living Walls is a busy event, so I’ve been missing out on a lot this week, including some big news from Banksy. Check all that out here…
