I had the chance to meet Ghost Patrol this summer and he’s a great chap. I love how he combines illustrative and narrative elements to his street art, and his fondness of folklore and nature really make his work stand out.

Sir Francis Bacon once said: ‘There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion’, and the work of Spanish street artist Aryz seems to embody this quote perfectly. His paintings and murals are stunningly ethereal, accessible, and beautiful, but also tinged heavily with a dark and unsettling surrealism. Read more

Contemporary Polish artist Yola continues her exploration and reinterpretation of classical art in a modern urban environment. In her interpretation, Vicious Circle symbolizes the universal problems of contemporary migrants who, in search of hope and a better life, invariably come up against every day obstacles, loneliness, alienation and rejection. Ordinary people in her urban art transform the classical pieces into modern and accessible messages of social commentary. Read more

This Was Found is a new way of disseminating photographic work by dropping or hanging the photographic prints in public spaces. The prints are hand-developed in the This Was Found darkroom, framed, and then dropped in selected locations. The hope is that these works are picked up by members of the public, and they then report back that they have found a picture. So far, 4 of the 6 drops that have been found have been reported in by the finders. Read more

We’re seeing a retaliation from young artists who find the environment and politics of galleries to be a juxtaposition to the meaning and target audience of their work. Creative agency, Buzz Products, has helped bring contemporary art into the everyday through a collaboration with emerging street artist Brad Morrison, aka Drab. The exterior of their Melbourne headquarters provided the perfect canvas for Australia’s largest paste-up. Read more

The big map of Buenos Aires that I have is covered in squiggly yellow highlighter lines marking the streets that Annette and I have walked. After a couple years of street walking (in the non-prostitute sense of the term), I began noticing a particular street artist whose style was different to anything I’d seen previously on walls.

How old must Kermit be now? Not to old to collaborate with skater-friendly retailer Supreme and photographer Terry Richardson. Kermit, who usually wears nothing, has been hooked up with some new threads to advertise the brand. It seems Kermit and Terry are the perfect work partners: they’ve even released a video clip documenting the shoot.
Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut is an award-winning designer with varied projects. This one, entitled The Lilypad, is nothing short of amazing. It’s an eco-city, floating on water, with the ability to accommodate upwards of 50,000 people. If built as designed, this structure (which uses most, if not all, available environmental technologies) would sustainably produce more power than it would consume.
Pomocracy is a lifestyle statement Tumblr recently created in Berlin by PoMo, a nurse and designer. It’s an inspirational blog full of weird stuff.
Three piece, cLOUDDEAD, who formed in Cincinnati at the tail-end of the last millenium, fuse traditional hip hop beats with indie, electronica and psy-rock overtones. Doesone and Why?’s layered, poetic vocals cover the personal, political and social elements of their lives; and, above all, their flatout rejection of traditional musical boundaries makes them a quirky and unique act.
This t-shirt is doing the rounds on Facebook profiles and Tweets at the moment. And rightly so! Artists worldwide, be proud of your profession, value your work, and proclaim it loud and clear.
