Seen On The Streets of Seattle - Ryan's Refriderator Magnet Billboard

By far one of my favorite billboard hacks in a long time. Ryan, an artist in Seattle used
low-tac adhesive vinyl so that the words could be re-arranged like refrigerator magnets.
He made the "Clear Channel" banner as well to create the full effect.

December Is Shaping Up To Be A Great Time To Be In New York

As was the case last year, December is shaping up to be an amazing month of shows in New York.

This weekend, there are two shows that you won't want to miss.

On Friday night, WK launches a rare solo show in Brooklyn (see below). And then on Saturday night, Blek le Rat, Blu, Bo130, D*Face, Microbo and Space Invader will all be showing new work as part of "The Streets of Europe: A Survey of European Street Art" opening at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in Chelsea.

More on both shows later in the week.

November Gorilla Show

Here are a few pictures from the November Gorilla show.. Cheers

Artist of the Week- Mingering Mike!

Heres an artist I found interesting. Mingering Mike is an outsider artist who created an imaginary record collection he's been making his whole life. He's been making records out of cardboard, painting labels, hand painting the grooves on the records, hand painting the LP cover art, constructing 7"s 12"s and double LP gatefold cover, then putting them in shrink wrap and pricing them like if they were really from a store. There is a book about him I just bought called "Mingering Mike: The Adventures of an Imaginary Soul Superstar". He has recently been the focus of art galleries in DC (his home) and right now there is one in Toronto, and they are trying to bring his exhibit to NYC soon.

Hope You enjoy!
