This is for all you sticker heads out there. A wicked sticker show comping up in Phoenix, AZ (USA). Start getting your stuff over there and be part of the goodnesss!
Finally, it seems like Priest is also getting picked up by the Local media! He should be watching out though, the US is more Chinese then you'd think, haha. This fine piece of Alabama Governor Bob Riley and Anti-Gambling Czar John Tyson Jr undoubtfully has another fun story of corruption and hypocricy behind it Check this cool interview with Priest right here.
These fresh pasties are the work of artist Basil, hailing from the westcoast of the US and Canada. Basil doesn't limit himself to one kind of medium or technique and comes up with fresh concepts and works. Check out more of his Pine Beetle installation here, and have a check at his website and blog as well (making trash out of art he said..made us laugh).
"Both two artists and two friends are honored this week by The Stencil Of The Week: C215 and his model Logan Hicks. In his new manner, C215 tributes to his NYC based stencil artist friend through his portrait and some elements of recall - the graphic background or electric red colours that evoke Logan’s work. It seems that this is the beginning of a series …"
From Babelgum "When artist Aakash Nihalani moved from the suburbs to NYC he was compelled by its symmetry. As an organic response he started laying down tape on the streets and on buildings, creating brightly colored sticker tape boxes framing aspects of the city he wanted to show people, creating tableaus from real life. Both uncomfortable at potentially defacing property by using permanent materials, and enraged at the continued treatment of public artists as vandals, we join him as he brings 3D to his work for the first time, via use of mirrors and passers-by, and discuss why impermanence is important to the acceptance of street art."

"Stephen Nodine is a local county commissioner that got busted here for pot that was found in the back of his county car in a prescription bottle. He was not arrested or even forced to take a drug test, even though normal citizens would."
Another ingenious work by Priest. Same shit happens everywhere, luckily some people are bold enough to say something about it :).
The positive geezer CHASE will have a great solo show coming up in LA, at the LA contemporary gallery. Check Chase's website for a preview of his work! Don't know Chase? Check the interview we did with him a while ago.
Always good getting something in the mail from the homey Priest! Last year he got me an amazing screen print on which I'll post more later, this time more goodness in the electronic department. To quote priest "It is on a building in the lower 9th ward of New Orleans, LA and still has the original search team x's 5 years after the storm. While helping me spray this my friend Rex Dingler, a lifelong native of New Orleans, said he should go to London and spray X's over all the Banksy/Robbo piece so they would know what a real problem looked like." Still don't know whoPriest is, check the interview we did with him.
"Going through some older footage, and I found this. Last time Bukue One was in town (about a year-and-a-half ago) with the Hieroglyphics Crew, he got down with Reps, Dread and the Denver KD Crew on the Revo wall during a Hell's Angels party of some sort (you'll notice them all over in this video).
This is the footage from that day. The soundtrack is also by Bukue One. All footage by Seetwist Productions, Inc."
