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

Mainstreamers are two guys, Luka and Nootk, based in Moscow, Russia. They started out in 2007 doing graffiti, moved onto decorating murals, and are now involved in all sorts of creative activities. Mainstreamers follow one common path of creating characters out of objects and letters. Their colour pallets are always precisely chosen and work well with the themes.

Strolling the streets of Buenos Aires, you can’t miss the creative and kooky street art. Girl power is in fashion and Pum Pum is ruling the walls. The artist’s vibrant colours and charming characters draw you in to a fanciful world of large fringes and sweet cheep cheeps. But what does it all mean?

I’m impressed with the wide range of David Ellis’ work. Beyond just differing mediums — installations, paintings, and sculptures — Ellis’ vast portfolio ranges between street art and graffiti to conceptual gallery work. His works on paper are particularly stunning.

Danish outdoor artist Armsrock has amazed the nightly visitors to the local train station with his exceptional graffiti-style installation art series, Markinger. The temporary light installation was created by projecting unique engravings done with an etching needle. Read more

Montana has been the high octane fuel driving the global graffiti revolution for some time now. With the advent of the Alien line they have unleashed World War III weaponry in the battle against the banal.

Beastman (aka Brad Eastman) is back. I’m always fond of the Sydney artist’s work spontaneously popping up in my life, and was pleasantly surprised when I went to see a mate’s band gig last week and noticed his trademark screaming monster crisply adorning the walls of Oxford Art Factory. It was so new, the smell of fresh paint lingered through our favourite basement venue with every guitar chord. Read more

Graffiti artists who buck trends and eschew easy pop references and repetitive style are ok by my book, particularly when they’re as prolific and ambitious as Guilo aka REMED. The French painter covers vast public surfaces with pattern heavy murals that incorporate Basquiat, Picasso, and Haring-sque images into his own distinct visual lexicon. Even when dealing with sexual or religious content, REMED’s work never aims to ridicule or shock — his whimsy, playfulness, and sense of color make his street paintings accessible to the general public, which is the main audience of any successful public art.

Canadian artist Tristram Lansdowne does amazing watercolors of abandoned, graffiti-covered buildings as a sort of halfway point between traditional craft and contemporary urban culture. Read more

Brooklyn-born and based, Jean-Michel Basquiat was the first African American artist to be feted internationally for his dynamic and exciting street-art style, which mixed elements of inner-city graffiti with vibrant figurative modernism. Read more

Richmond-based graffiti artist Chip7 has a style that is at once urban and also vaguely tribal with their crude lines and rich patterns. Read more

Not only is the scale of the things Italian street artist Blu is doing on the street, impressive — he does these huge pieces with just rollers with long extensions — even more amazing is how quickly he works. If you haven’t seen the stop motion animation he did, you should. It’s an animation on the walls of a street in which he’s painting, then buffing, then painting it again, with a succession of characters moving all around. It’s just insane how much work it takes to create these things. I don’t think anyone has ever done anything like it. Read more

My background is in street art and there are a lot of people historically who I’ve really liked. But in terms of new people, I particularly love the work of Brooklyn artist Judith Supine. It’s a surreal combination of old engraving art mixed with hand-drawn and painted images. He does paste up posters, but they’re not just square, they’re cut-out shapes of these interesting looking characters. The closest thing I could compare it to are the Monty Python animations.

Street art has always been a place for creative freedom. Due to its very nature it’s also a maverick art, with the varying and diverse styles found being part of its appeal. From Shoreditch in London where works by the likes of Banksy, Invader and Sweet Toof live side-by-side – enlivening the streets with their subversive and eye catching design, to Berlin, where they’ve turned the notion of graffiti on its head by using jet sprays with stencils to clean parts of a dirty wall, producing a new piece of art. Being displayed on the streets that are so familiar to us, it often remains hidden, as our familiarity blinds us to it. Read more
In her series The Royal Dozen multimedia artist Alexis Sinclair creates intricate digital images in the style of the Renaissance masters. With amazing attention to detail, she’s managed to create a complex yet majestic series by stitching together hundreds of illustrations and photographs. Read more
I re-read both the Hernanadez brothers collected works about once a year and there’s not a lot between them. But somehow the subject matter and sheer storytelling verve of Locas tips the balance for me. I’m constantly in awe of how they both can chronicle the lives of huge casts of characters. The hardback collections of Locas and Palomar are absolutely essential. Read more

I used to have a Livejournal. I remember when blogging was so much more earnest and emo back in the mid-Aughts. Embarrassing. Good to know there are people like out_4_pizza, who use their blogs to post amazing digital art rather than every detail of their personal lives. Read more
Have you ever felt engulfed by a strange mix of emotions, ones which make you feel all giddy? Well, that’s what this track — Not For All The Love In the World — does to me. French pop-folk extraordinaire Sebastian Tellier remixes Irish pop band The Thrills. Totally luscious and dreamy, especially the glockenspiel sound. Beautiful stuff.
With her collection of Skinover gloves, Rotterdam-based artist and sculptor Silvia B has taken a somewhat natural approach to the task of keeping hands warm — warts and all.

On this Virgin Mary HaloTech watch, the dial is a modern version of the nineteenth century art form of lithophanes, carved porcelain sheets that, when lit, deliver astoundingly detailed images. When the pusher is activated, the dial springs to life in 3D. The watch features a light-up dial, LED light, and afterglo effect. Read more
