6 Sep: Everfresh Open Studio (Melbourne)

Submitted by russell on

Back in 2008, the Everfresh crew offered piles of hospitality for me when I visited Melbourne for the Stencil Nation tour. They also fed me pizza and beer. In the history of modern stencilism, Everfresh was at the nexus of using the tool as a new form of expression and art. Their site stencilrevolution.com went live just after Stencil Archive and instantly had hundreds more photos due to Everfresh's better design skills. If any of these artists show in your city, please support their art and offer them some food and beer. - R.

Adam Feibelman updates his website

Submitted by russell on

I am writing today because I'd like to invite you to check out my website update, it's here: adam5100.com, there are lots of new things on there, from new works, to links to my "morning warm up series", as well as links to my social media and such (where you can keep track of my studios day to day). Please click all the buttons, or don't it's up to you. :)

In the news department, I have been doing a year of commissions, from wrapping up a six piece commission for the new San Francisco 49ers stadium, to doing a ceiling painting for a new restaurant. All of this after last years personal successes, such as winning the Herradura barrel art program here in SF. and coming real close to selling out the show last August. My next show will be September at a place called "The Battery" also here in SF. After that I will be headed back to my home of Albuquerque for a two week residency at the Tamarind Institute of Lithography.

A Parodist Who Calls Himself Hanksy

The street artist who calls himself Hanksy, on Orchard Street in Lower Manhattan with his piece “Walter Flite.” Nicole Bengiveno/The New York Times

This is a story about art in the age of social media — about anonymity and self-promotion, about feral cats and viral cat videos.

In April 2011, a law school dropout in Bushwick, Brooklyn, newly arrived from the Midwest, had an idea that he thought might make a splash. He admired the street artist Banksy; he grew up on the movies of Tom Hanks. Why not mash up the two? Using simple computer software, he downloaded a Banksy painting of a rat holding a paint roller, then added an image of Mr. Hanks’s face. The whole thing took 10 or 15 minutes to create. He printed a cutout and…

Banksy Painting Up NYC for Month of Oct.

Submitted by russell on

Attn. New Yorkers, drop everything and run - RUN - to Banksy's twitter feed (or possibly other street art Tweets) to see where he strikes next. Do it NOW... before it gets stolen, tagged over, or buffed. Quit your job if you have to.

Or... shrug.

Banksy presents:

Better Out than In

An Artists Residency on the Streets of New York

[hmm.... why did he drop the apostrophe and make artist plural? - Ed.]

Jef Aérosol from Alternatives Press

 

« En 1982, je bombais mon premier pochoir sur les murs de la ville de Tours. C'est comme si c'était hier et pourtant trente années ont passé. Trois décennies d'aventures artistiques et humaines au cours desquelles j'ai poursuivi et approfondi mon travail de photo-graphiste, de plasticien, de peintre… de bidouilleur d'images, quoi ! J'ignore combien de lames de cutter j'ai usées, combien de pochoirs j'ai découpés, combien de murs et de toiles j'ai peints, combien de bombes aérosol j'ai vidées mais je sais que ma passion pour les images en général et pour l'art urbain en particulier ne s'est jamais émoussée et qu'elle s'enrichit chaque jour des expériences nouvelles qu'il m'est donné de vivre. Cet ouvrage propose un petit voyage en…
