Here’s a Dallas native that completely crushes everywhere he goes, from Dallas to Detroit. He doesnt believe in one handed fills. It’s always two hands and a fat cap.

I love the exploration of repetition and organic forms in Chilean artist Camilla Leon’s work. Her work with chalk on sidewalks is particularly inspiring. Read more

Some of the most startling and original images seen on the streets of Santiago, Chile, are the anthropomorphic creatures of artist Basco Vazko. These surreal creatures seem to have lept out of the story of children’s books mixed and cut-up with medical textbook imagery. One of Basco’s strengths is how he uses the weathered walls not as an accidental background for his work but as integral part of the image. Read more

Tattoo/graffiti artist Lango is very much rooted in the traditions of his mediums, but he puts some really and left-field detail, texture, and surrealism into them that make his work truly stunning. Read more

Dal East is a diamond in the rough. When I first took notice of his work, I suspected a one-off piece of art, but digging deeper, an impressive pattern emerged. He has travelled widely and left his unique visual mark across numerous cities. His style is a unique one: loose sketches that are tightened into lit wireframes often echoing nature, giving the work a timeless almost mythological feel. Read more

Zeh Palito paints on both canvas and the streets, infusing his world with a fun, playful energy. Palito’s unicorns find themselves well within the composition. They know where the party is and they know how to dance. Read more

In the world of street art, often dominated by alpha-male posturing and tiresome pseudo-political satire, Faith47 injects a tender visual poetry. Often seen in the most destitute of environments, her work comes across as a beacon of healing where political systems so often have failed to uplift. This is conscience through art where it is needed most: in the trenches. Read more

Artist Matt W. Moore recently ran an exhibit in Cincinnati showing off his very dope vector like canvas paintings. What’s really ill to me is that the medium used here is spray paint, and you get to see him at work doing an entire wall in this style. Really clean, really fresh.

At least when you take photos of it, arrange it as a nice series, and publish it in a fancy blog, as this lovely new Tumblr proves. Read more

I love the bold colours and cheeky gaping aesthetic in the work of Sydney-based artist and designer, Finlay Duggan. She creates awesome masks imbued with wide-eyed menace, and her illustration work wouldn’t be out of place plastered across the giant walls of a disused Brooklyn factory. Respect. Read more

Blek Le Rat did what Banksy did twenty years before Banksy did. And that’s according to Banksy himself. Now creatives around the world have the chance to be flown to Berlin to take part in a live stencil art session with him. Upload a JPEG of your own stencil art to Hugo Create to take part. Read more

It’s looks as if, in the cover of the night, the mysterious Banksy has left his mark once more, this time on a wall in Fitzrovia, London. Read more

It’s a little hard to keep up with the work of one of New York’s coolest underground artists, ArtIsEpic, considering his current focus doesn’t include exhibiting in galleries. Rather, Fernando Leon’s motive is to keep on creating. The painter has generated a lot of buzz for his appealing urban clothing apparel designs, but his private art collection are the real gems that most people aren’t aware of. Read more
South Korean-born artist Do-Ho Suh does a lot of large-scale installations and sculptures that remind me of Chinese Cynical Realist art. Read more

After weeks of packing Australia’s crate with the best of Aussie nightlife, our crate was farewelled in lavish style at the Smirnoff Nightlife Exchange send-off party in Sydney last week. We discovered Australia is swapping with Brazil, so we’re hanging out for the samba and cachaça to sway ashore and lead us astray. Lost At E Minor contributor Michelle Wilding captured the vibe of the night and Aussie nightlife with this video.
The American South’s hippest city — Austin, Texas — got a little bit cooler last year with the opening of Uchiko, a contemporary Japanese restaurant that serves up innovative and sustainable food in a warm farmhouse setting. Read more
Ever tried to imagine what an artist looks like based on their artwork? I was asked to be involved in this Australia-based project by Anna Brown, where she photographs comic artists and then presents the work next to a portrait of the artist in their own comic form. Read more
Named after the first openly gay politician in US history, Harvey Milk make some rather testosterone-heavy tunes. While appealing mostly to the stoner-rock and indie-metal set, the quintet from Athens, Georgia, aren’t afraid of a little melody, as the almost pop track Motown on their latest album, Life … the Best Game in Town, proves. But more often than not, the band gets down and dirty with some knuckle-dragging sludge rock. Amid the haze of searing guitar squeals, menacing power chords, and seismic bass rumbling, though, are some almost math-rock flourishes that hint at the brains behind the brawn.
See Lady Gaga and raise her an iron mask. This fierce metallic face accessory created by AND_I is made of anodized aluminium and trumps any everyday masquerade ball. Perfect for a night out of crusading cocktails.
