Banksy's Online "Store" by Wendy Dembo
After the stellar success of his star-studded LA show (where Brad and Angelina walked away with quite a few pics) and setting a personal record at auction back in October 2006, Banksy is offering free downloads of some of his images for those that can’t afford to buy his art. No doubt a response to the many profiteers who've turned his images into unauthorized tees and other goods (an practice antithetical to Banksy's work), the move is a very Banksy like response. As he reminds on the site, please note that the images are for personal use only and should be printed at work.

Banksy Hits NYC
The work of street artist, graffiti writer, and over all mischievously impressive prankster "Banksy", never ceases to amaze me--but this time he really hit a home run. Banksy hit New York's most famous museums, dressed as a British pensioner. He entered the Brooklyn Museum, The Metropolitan Museum of Art (shown above), and the Museum of Natural History, carrying some unusual works to install. He...

Os Gemeos: The flowers in this garden were planted by my Grandparents
Os Gemeos, our favorite identical Brazilian twin artists Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo, have many reasons to be excited about their new show, “The flowers in this garden were planted by my Grandparents.” First of all it's the duo's first solo museum show. Also, their good friend and mentor Barry McGee has previously showed at the Museum Het Domein. The twins pulled off a feat,...

Behind the Seen
Artists best known for their work in public often have an entirely private body of work that doesn't make it out into view. Recognizing this, Michael DeFeo (the Flower Guy) assembled Behind the Seen, an international group show featuring rarely seen artwork not typically associated with the artists. Including work from Blek le Rat, Shepard Fairey, Ron English, Richard Hambleton, Keith Haring, Maya Hayuk,...

Street World
The new project from Roger Gastman, Caleb Neelon and Anthony Smyrski, Street World: Urban Art and Culture from Five Continents, clocks in at nearly 400 pages of full-color images of all the street culture we knew we loved (graffiti, fashion, skateboarding, and so on) with plenty of more esoteric global happenings. Think pigeon keeping, protests, activism, drum lines, urban exploration, signage and plenty of...
