FEATURE: Wall Lords Asia
While the results for Wall Lords Asia unfold before international viewers and make us feast on an altogether different level of script-ability, this competition is also revealing itself to move into a super-visual gear rocking forward the epic reach of graffiti. Malaysia’s winning crew has just been announced and the first prize has gone to KL Zinc [...]
FEATURE: GRAFFIT’ ASIA
Far far across many a wall, great and small … well far away from where I sit counting … runs the great wall of Shenzhen in China. It isn’t your usual weather beaten, human watching and saddened sort of wall, it is of the slender bodied, winding cemented kind, dancing to the rhythm of its [...]

LIVE B-BOY BBQ 2010, Philly
On Saturday 06.12.10 graffiti artists, djs, emcees, bboys and bgirls from all over gathered on a roped off block to celebrate hip hop: exchanging ideas, listen to great music, tag the walls and dance their asses off. There were kids everywhere, people cooking out, vendor booths set up, performances, non-stop music from various djs, breakdancing [...]
The Mis-Adventures getting to the “MISS-Adventures of Indian Pussy” Solo Exhibition
Whew! June 12th was HOT. It was even hotter on the chartered shuttle that was supposed to take us to Fredericksburg, which decided to break down on U St. It was 5pm and we were a half hour behind schedule. Me and my dos chicas, Jendayi and Grav, stood out in the hot-ass-shade with lady-like [...]
FEATURE: GRAFFITI BRAZILIAN STYLE
The world is being rewritten in coloured bombs, its waves the shape of spray cans. Its name is Graffiti. Massively unleashed by the gods of Art in the 60s in Philadelphia and very quickly thereafter in NYC, tinted bursts and lacquered explosions hit subways and streets from then on: a new iconography has been born: [...]

Last Friday night was the first of the two night opening of Activation 440, the Artist Bazaar. Presented by ReadySetDC and No Kings Collective, the show presented a mix of artists that mostly use a cross between street and pop art aesthetics, though there were some interesting photography and modern art in the midst. Now [...]
Banksy “Hearts” NYC
UK street artist Banksy has been on a roll lately, dropping his first feature film, Exit Through The Gift Shop, and going on a non-stop graffiti tour of the US and Canada. He’s already hit San Fran, Chicago, Toronto (most of which were painted over or removed unfortunately) and now New York City, which marked [...]
Art Docs: DIY America (Graffiti – Parts 1-3)
For all you graffiti art lovers, here’s something cool to peep. A three part mini documentary from the producers of the DIY America series showcasing some of the dopest street art creators coming out of the punk and skateboarding communities. The documentary is broken down into three parts (all a little over three minutes) and features some [...]
Film 2 Peep: Exit Through the Gift Shop – A Banksy Film
For those of you who are into street art, you are probably very familiar with the ultra-reclusive Banksy, who became famous for spraying dope graffiti art on walls and bridges in the middle of the night without ever being seen – only to leave the public absolutely puzzled in the morning. His work has shown up everywhere from the [...]
LADY GAGA IN 3-D
Since GAGA is pop’s new HBIC (Sorry, Madge!) I saw this over on the NOWNESS.COM and had to share it with you guys! It’s a piece done by animator David O’Reilly from Berlin and I think it is dope!
PHOTOS: G40 The Summit
Last week saw the opening for the G40 Summit, Art Whino’s huge 5-floor art exhibit spanning an enormous array of diverse artists (500+!). Going to the show’s opening party, last Saturday, was pretty much sensory overload. Just entering there the reception floor there was music blasting, multiple wall murals, live art/paintings, screen printing on it [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: “HUFF + PUFF” by Just A Band
This joint right here is real sexy-like. Your body will automatically go into autopilot: your head will start boppin’, and you’ll break into a soulful yet swingin’ two-step (think of the Robert Palmer video girls…on speed). The very beginning of the song reminds me of Supernature-era Goldfrapp with heavy synths keys, some la-la-las, and a [...]
