Spending a few days in NYC, so this is a bit late, but here it is…

Sounds like Supreme will be doing a Basquiat line soon.
There’s a Kickstarter project worth checking out with the goal of making a film about street art in Chile.

A great piece of (I think) contemporary train graffiti.

Labrona and more at Fresh Paint Gallery

Fresh Paint Gallery / Under Pressure in Montreal has a really nice show up now and for about the next two months featuring some of my favorite Canadian artists like Labrona, Gawd and Roadsworth. There are plenty of photos of the show here, and these are a few of my favorite bits:

And keep an eye on Vandalog for some more news about Labrona coming very soon…

Living Walls 2011 – The city speaks

4946191420_b830187746_z — Doodles, Swampy and Greg Mike at Living Walls 2010

Later this month, Atlanta is going to be taken over by street artists from around the world for this year’s edition of the Living Walls conference, Living Walls: the City Speaks. From the 12th-14th of August, there will be film screenings, lectures and artists painting murals around the city. Living Walls have brought together an impressive artist roster from around the world including (but not limited to) Doodles, Swampy, Gaia, Roa, Labrona, OverUnder, Sam3, Freddy Sam, White Cocoa, Nanook, Greg Mike, Paper Twins, Clownsoldier and Gawd. And I can’t complain about the keynote speakers either: Tristan Manco, Gaia, Ricky Lee Gordon and me.

So if you’re in Atlanta, come out check out the opening party at The Sound Table on Friday the 12th, lectures at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia on the 13th during the day, a party at The Goat Farm the night of the 13th and a tour of all the new murals on the 14th. I’ll post more details about exact times later. And of course, I’ll be posting plenty of photos from the conference as well.

In September, another Living Walls event will take place in Albany, NY. More on that later.

Last night might have been my busiest 1st Thursday ever, and I didn’t even stop off everywhere I wanted to. Either way, I’ll have to go back to a few galleries this week to actually look at the art properly. Even with a cursory glance though, the Charming Baker show was the highlight by a mile. I’m not sure how sustainable it is to sell paintings at the prices they sold for last night, but damn it looked good. Here’s a few things I could have posted about last night, had I not been out being a gallery-hopping scenester…

Probably the coolest thing I’ve seen all week: Nug (this guy) visited FAME Festival.
Everfresh have created the graffiti writer’s dream machine: The Graff Mobile.
Conor Harrington has been painting some murals of bulls in Ireland. I like this one. This one, not so much. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out why that is about either of the walls.
In addition to his LA show, Lush is doing a show in August at Fifty24SF.
As usual, Dal does something visually stunning.
Leon Reid IV is doing a Kickstarter campaign for his latest potential public sculpture in New York City.
Meighan O’Toole at My Love for You has done a podcast where she interviewed up with Steve Powers, the first in what will hopefully be a series of podcasts from her.
A new print from Shepard Fairey is being released, partially for charity, in New York this weekend.
Showpaper has done round 2 of its Community Serviced project where they get artists to paint newspaper bin boxes for Showpaper. Check out all the photos from round 2 here.
