A new street-art piece by Yola is up in London. In her image, called Doubting Thomas and based on the painting by Caravaggio, Yola used as her models Australian artists Doyles Art, HaHa and Drew Funk, whom she met while in Melbourne earlier this year. The piece can be seen on the corner of Downham Rd and Southgate Rd in De Beauvoir Town in London N1. It’s Yola’s first major work in the capital. Read more

It’s been a few years since we last checked in on the work of New York-based artist Joshua Allen Harris, who uses only tape and discarded plastic shopping bags to create giant inflatable animals that he fastens to sidewalk grates and vents to give them a sense of movement and life. A polar bear (see below), that some have linked to concerns about global warming, is the most famous Joshua Allen Harris creation so far. But he’s made many other animals, creatures and monsters, including this more recent one above. Read more

His work is described as Donnie Darko meets Rob Zombie taking LSD. Nice. Simon Heard, aka SINAGE, takes influence from an awful holiday when he was just a small boy, which included a doomed barge trip, death via a quarry of rabbits full of mixamatoses, and getting left behind on the river bank: ‘This is my therapy and a way to rid the pain of the worst two weeks of my life, turning a very negative life experience into a positive one!’ Read more

For everyone who is interested in street art and hasn’t heard about El Mac, it’s about time we take care of that. A Los Angeles-born artist, El Mac has traveled the world spreading his style and creativity into even the most unfamiliar of places. His graceful, elegant, and structured flow is a style unmatched. Growing up in Phoenix, I’ve seen his work evolve over the years, and it still boggles my mind each time I see a new piece. What’s even better is his interest in spreading awareness and love to other parts of the world. Check out this video below of his latest trip to Vietnam. Read more

Following in the well worn footsteps of Banksy, Guerrilla gardener Steve Wheen brightens up the otherwise dull surrounds of inner-city London with colourful floral displays and lively model sets that fill in the gaps in the roads and pavements and add some intrigue to pedestrians’ daily commute.

Hell Ton John is a brilliant young artist and graphic designer from Tahiti, in French Polynesia. His painting is largely inspired by tattoos and Polynesian imagery, combined with patterns taken from street art. The contrast between the ancestral signs and urban graphics is beautiful. Read more

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
Here’s a really useful, step-by-step guide to creating your own functional gas mask out of a two-leter soda bottle, a dust mask, duct tape, and a stapler.
Austin-based photographer William Hundley loves juxtaposing completely absurd and unrelated objects. Whether it’s fabric-draped people in mid jump or chihuahuas and Easter Island heads standing on cheeseburgers, Hundley takes an almost Dadaist joy in making random, giddily puzzling images. Read more

We love sex in art. No, not in a smutty Benny Hill kinda way, but rather the way in which Australian-based website Sex In Art takes a healthy peek at all things arty and well … sexual. There’s some beautiful illustration work up there and some evocative photography. Heck, I’m getting a little hot under the collar just writing about it. While most of the work they feature is work friendly, some of it isn’t. Still, it’s worth more than a casual glance, like this painting by Chinese artist, Guan Zeju.
Where to start with Z-Trip? Shepard Fairey propped him on this site a few weeks back, but let’s face it: the guy is worth a double post. He’s the king of the mash-up, a dance floor master, and the humblest guy you’ll meet. If you haven’t heard of him (unlikely), then go to his website right now and download his free mixes. He deejayed a show for us in 2000, right when his breakout CD, Uneasy Listening, dropped and I was floored. Who has the audacity to mix a Pat Benatar beat with Public Enemy vocals? This guy.

Yes, Karen O wears it. And we don’t blame her. Launched by make-up artist, Mike Potter, Knock Out Cosmetics nail polish is a little Victorian, a touch art deco, and a lot of rock n’ roll.
