Jetsonorama Wraps a House with Pots in Penland, North Carolina
Editorz, 17 Apr 12:02 AM

When one thinks of pots and pottery and clay urns, you may imagine them with patterns and motifs wrapped around their exterior.

“I have two questions,” said one smartly sweatered and coiffed lady of a certain age.

Editorz, 09 Apr 12:02 AM

Hooray! Spring is here in New York again.

Faring Purth and “Grace” in Forest Park (Chicago)
Editorz, 11 Mar 09:00 AM

“A woman’s guess is much more accurate than a man’s certainty.” ~Rudyard Kipling We mention this Kipling quote in this description of Street Artist Faring Purth because a.) she often seems like she’s plucked out of a traveling adventure from a Kipling tale, b.) her instincts for creating new pieces are frequently on-point and a […]

Slap It! Slick Stickers Spread Across City Surfaces Speak and Surprise
Editorz, 07 Mar 10:00 AM

Stickers, or slaps, are small but formidable graphic and text messages, especially when massed together on a doorway or light pole. They are also fast and surreptitiously placed, as simple as a gesture, undetectable in their ease of application. A board covered with stickers at Urban Nation Museum For Urban Contemporary Art in Berlin. (photo […]

Editorz, 06 Mar 05:00 AM

“MADRID ME MATA…in a good sense,” says Fernando Alcalá Losa, the avid Barcelona based photographer of street culture.

We had a chance at Spring this week, and then it blew away. We’re back to the Antarctic for a few days. NYC was inundated by art fairs as well, which was swell. Volta, Scope, Clio, Spring/Break – which was surprisingly not political or contentious, given its rather outsider status. Fair talk was glum, attendance […]

New ROBBBB Nude Figures Playing on Beijing Walls : Virtual & Candid
Editorz, 04 Mar 05:00 AM

Always good to get to Berlin to see what waves of text and pattern and outrage and snark and myriad metaphor are more-or-less relentlessly rippling across buildings and empty lots. The rippling effect was swelled by 4 days of rain, which makes windows streak with rivlets and wheat-pastes peel from the top, leaning forward and […]

Icy & Sot, Razor Wire & Flowers Along a Wall in Miami
Editorz, 16 Feb 05:02 AM

By festooning foreboding razor wire with decorative flourishes of welcome, Icy & Sot invert a symbol of exclusion and fear.
