When I first saw this piece on Romanywg’s Flickr stream I felt a little uneasy about it’s location. In fact while he’d got a great photo and I thought the street art by Specter looked stunning I really didn’t like the fact that it had obviously been placed directly over a piece of local [...]
Elate’s (aka Jon Hammer) blog has recently been updated with a few great articles but pick of the bunch for me was this writers meet up which looked like a lot of fun. I seem to remember that the last time this happened torrential rain and more conspired to cut down on the painting activities [...]

As well as a two day street party two dozen artists will be turning the street into a giant canvas, including Burning Candy Crew, Carrie Reichardt, Dotmasters, David Bray, Dr.d, Filthy Luker, Gavin Turk, Giles Walker, Best [...]

In a strange turn of events that probably has left Ben Eine thinking he may have entered a parallel universe a painting of his has apparently ended up in the mits of US President Barack Obama via David Cameron and his wife Samantha. ‘Twentyfirstcenturycity‘ by Ben was given as part [...]
Ludo has made a welcome return to London in recent weeks with works from his Natures Revenge series appearing all over the East End of London. I managed to track down a few last Friday but if you want to see them in person be quick – just like real flowers these paste ups tend [...]
While I love Shok-1‘s recent monochrome fixation the colour in this latest piece really makes the image ‘pop’ off the wall. Shok claims that he’s only working his way back to full colour at present so expect more hues to creep in on the next few pieces. Read the original post at Art of the State
