Baltimore besides Open Walls Baltimore

While Caroline and I visited Baltimore with the goal of seeing Open Walls Baltimore, but we also got a bit of a taste for the larger street art and graffiti scene there, including a lot of work that has been done without permission. We even went out with a few local writers (Avoid, Fisho and Mountain) to watch them paint. Here are some of my favorite pieces that we came across in Baltimore that are not murals, including a few of photos have been posted on Vandalog previously.

Other and Labrona from Philadelphia to Baltimore

Earlier this month, Labrona and Troy Lovegates aka Other came down from Canada for a few days. Their first stop was Haverford, the small Philadelphia suburb where I go to college. At Haverford College, they painted a mural on the same building that Gaia painted last year. Then, they spent less than 24 hours in Baltimore, but took advantage of every second for painting and getting up. In Baltimore, Martha Cooper invited them to paint in SoWeBo, a part of town where she has been photographing the residents.

Weekend link-o-rama

Exciting week next week: Troy Lovegates and Labrona will be coming to Haverford to paint a mural here, so look forward to some pictures of that… If I find the charger for my camera. Also, I’ve taken the plunge and I’m finally on Instagram. Here’s what I’ve been reading this week:

Troy Lovegates has a show on this week in Halifax.
There’s a new ezine by Overunder.
Joe Iurato and others painted a mural in New Jersey that included a tribute to Trayvon Martin. Of course, ridiculous controversy ensued. Here are some thoughts from Joe.
More murals in Richmond, Virginia (including Dalek breaking out some of his Space Monkeys).
I’ve mentioned this before, but here’s a reminder that No Longer Empty is hosting a talk about the Fashion Moda this Sunday moderated by Joyce Manalo and including Stefan Eins, Lisa Kahane, Crash and Lee.
Faile’s new mural in Williamsburg is something quite different and unexpected.
Chaz Bojorquez has his first show in Australia this weekend.

Link-o-rama. ‘Nuff said.

As you probably know, copyright laws (particularly in the USA) are pretty screwed up. Maybe this is one solution.
Everyone is going crazy over David Choe right now because we all suddenly learned that he might be worth a lot of money. But did you know that he is also a talented artist and he was just as talented a month ago? Thankfully, his interview with Howard Stern seems to acknowledge this, plus it’s great and honest insight into a generally interesting guy.
Last year, Ron English took a road trip to Detroit with his family. Here’s the resulting video series.
Nychos and Flying Fortress collaborate.
Arrested Motion has a preview of the upcoming Os Gemeos show in LA.
Royce Bannon has curated this upcoming show at the Mishka shop in NYC.

Stinkfish and Other at Brooklynite Gallery

I don’t think it gets much better than this: Troy Lovegates aka Other and Stinkfish have a show together coming up at New York’s Brooklynite Gallery. For all the talk these days about the end of street art due to rampant commercialism and Johnny-come-latelies, these two artists buck the trend and show that true energy and love of art is still alive and well on the street. Their show is called Thinkers of This. It opens November 5th and runs through the 26th. This will almost definitely be one show that should not be missed.

Had about 4 days away from a computer and it’s taken me nearly as long to catch up on emails. This post should help to finish that task. Here’s what I missed while I was away:

Aiko has a show at Pure Evil Gallery opening today. It’s called Unstoppable Waves, which was the name of her recent show in Amsterdam, so it will probably be some of the same work.
Some cool walls from Hyuro (especially this one).
Sickboy also has an upcoming solo show in East London. His show runs November 3rd-6th.
Lazarides’ Minotaur show/restaurant in the Leake Street Tunnels is open now, and, regardless of the ridiculous high-society vibe of the event, the art looks good. S.Butterfly has plenty of images. Additionally (and counteracting a small portion of that high-society vibe), Lazarides’ The Outsiders webstore has 3 unlimited run screenprints available now from ATMA, David Choe and Stanley Donwood.
Dale Grimshaw has a solo show on now at Signal Gallery in London.
Da Mental Vaporz (Avec, Dran, Bom K, Sowat, Kan, Brusk, Blo, Gris, and Jaw) painted this mural in Brest, France.
Here’s the latest from Isaac Cordal.
If you’re a fan of ephemera and art from Colab/ABC No Rio/Fashion Moda and the like, check out Gallery 98 Bowery.
Similarly, Printed Matter in NYC has a show opening this weekend about Colab.

Unfortunately we’ve sold out of mediums in every design, but small, large and XL shirts are still available. You can buy a shirt here.
