THE GODFATHER OF GRAFFITI

If you've seen Style Wars you probably remember SEEN for being hilarious and memorable in all of his interviews, and of course for his out of control burners.

This Thursday, SEEN's second UK show ever is going to open up in London's Stolenspace gallery. So if you're in the vicinity, this is a rare opportunity to see new works by one of the original New York City heads.

THE WALL AT CENTER SQUARE

If you live in Boston, you should go watch this wall go up over the next week or so. The lineup is stellar-- check the flyer:


Here's the wall that's getting slayed:


Painting should be done by the end of the month, but that's not the fun part. Go check the progress if you're in the area.

LIVE PAINTING BY DAVID CHOE, SABER, REVOK, AND RETNA

It seems to good to be true, I know. The West Coast's serious heavyweights are touring the east coast hard right now, hitting up Philly, Jersey, New York, Vermont, Mass, and Connecticut with live painting events all week. Here are a couple videos from earlier stops on the tour.

HELLOVON

London-based artist Hellovon has a show opening up in Brooklyn this weekend. You might remember him from Overspray issue 5, the character kings issue. Either way, the dude's stuff is pretty mind bending and you should probably check it out.

The opening is Saturday, October 20th at 7pm at Espeis Archetype Gallery at 90 Wythe Avenue (at N. 11th street). Take the L train to Bedford Ave.

Check out the roster and start drooling: Adam Neate, Anthony Lister, Dalek, Delta, Futura, Jose Parla, Mark Dean Veca, Phil Frost, Ron English, Space Invader, Stash, and WK Interact. We weren't there, so we owe a huge thanks to our friend Morgan for scoping it out and hooking us up with these pics by Lonestar.

ADOPT A PRUNE BABY

French sculptor PRUNE is hitting up London tomorrow with a new show that will probably creep out old people and confuse the general public. Five nannies will be wheeling their "Bebes Domestiques" through the city, toward London's Regent's Park. Along the way they'll be taking applications from prospective adoptive parents.

Later, the lucky parents will be notified before having their new babies delivered and their family portraits taken.


Artist's statement, click to enlarge.


Check out PRUNE's blog, too
If you're going to be in London tomorrow, keep your eye out.

OUTSIDE IN

Our friend Billi Kid is going to be in a really cool show on November 1. The idea is to bring graffiti and street art indoors for a night so it can rest up in a nice hotel room-- hence, bringing the outside in.



Check out some of Billi Kid's work on the Billi Kid flickr or the Billi Kid Brand website. The show is one night only, so mark your calendars now.

ALEXONE'S SHOW IN GRENOBLE

Alexone, our main man in France, just unveiled a really awesome concept for his new show, "En Tiers".

He outlined his process for us and sent a bunch of great pictures by Jerome Vallin our way. Check it out:

"step 1 : paste white paper on wall
step 2 : to paint on a wallpaper
step 3 : cut the paper
step 4 : to make frames with the papers
step 5 : paint the wall for make a nice background"








If you're going to be in France between now and December, you need to check this show out.

NUART 07

Bummed out that you can't make it to Stavenger, Norway to watch all your favorite artists leave their mark on the city? Hey, you're not alone. But lucky for all us non artist non jet setters, the festival's organizers posted a great set of timelapse videos of what's gone down so far.

For continuous pictures of the event, check out the Nuart flickr stream or the official festival website at www.nuart.no. This is the beautiful kind of stuff that can only happen when you let artists run wild in your city.

BOOGIE:

Boogie's one of our favorite photographers-- so we're all super stoked to check out his new show. Check out how raw this guy's work is.

ISSUE SIX RELEASE PARTY

Issue 6 is DONE, people. And that means it's time for a PARTY. We went to California to interview David Choe, Shepard Fairey, Empte Eyes, and a ton of other artists for the issue-- now we're bringing a little bit of the west coast vibe back for you, in the form of live California-themed painting battles (and giveaways, and music, and cheap beer).


See you all there.

SCION ART INSTALLATION TOUR 4

CUT AND PASTE DIDGITAL DESIGN TOURNAMENT

On September 15, the Cut and Paste Design Competition will be stopping in New York City. Eight of the city's top emerging designers have been selected to compete in a series of single-elimination design showdowns, presided over by judges including Futura 2000, Saber, and FecalFace founder John Trippe. You don't have to be a renowned designer to participate though. On top of being open to spectators, there's an Audience Design Contest going on as well, open to anyone. And don't fret if you aren't in the New York area, the competition will be rolling through about a dozen other cities around the world throughought September and October.
