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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Taylor Gonzales is a Cleveland-based artist whose work I’ve seen on the streets. He takes a bold geometric approach to pop culture icons.

Fat Cap is an excellent site for the latest and greatest in graffiti and street art. From pictures to interviews, and even a member site that you can upload your work to, this site is pure crack for anyone that loves art.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I’ve been a fan of NohJColey’s street art for sometime now, but his latest series in north Brooklyn has me so excited. Images of figures with movable body parts that you control with the help of strategically placed wires tell a story of a life filled with false consumer hopes, drug addictions, and getting caught by the cops.

Yes! Banksy has struck again, this time beautifying a wall in New Orleans with this simple message to the kids — and their fathers — of this world.

Street art and weather in perfect harmony is a beautiful thing. Handy, then, that these John Wayne ‘paste ups’ have appeared all over London in the midst of a serious frosty spell in the capital which has seen London’s transport grind to a halt due to a lack of gritting (oh the irony).

The image appears to have been taken from the cover of the original True Grit DVD, reminding us of the unquestionable awesomeness of the original movie ahead of the Cohen Brothers remake out soon. Having braved some serious snowflakage it also appears that the still unidentified artist behind them certainly does have some of John Wayne’s True Grit in them. Whoever they may be, I salute them.

Pahnl, a street artist from the UK, has been stenciling since 2003: ‘I take huge influence from comics and street signage, but I add my own subversive twist. I aim to make my work interact with its environment’, he says. This stop motion animation, Nowhere Near Here, uses a combination of light with stencils and long exposure photography to tell the story of a dog running around the city at night, doing whatever it is a dog does.

Graff legend Slang used to be a neighbor of mine. His sharp-witted personality is mirrored in his latest commision for Wicker Park’s upscale cocktail hole in the wall, The Violet Hour.
