Cool Hunting
Taking street art, er, beyond the street, Judith Supine took to the waters of the East River in New York recently with a guerilla floating installation. His colorful, awkward and—at times—political collage works can be found around lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, but this is the first time (that we know of) that he's created a floating piece.
Did you catch his hanging banner on the Manhattan Bridge a few weeks back? Expect more wild but carefully thought-out work from him in the near future.
Go here for another video of Supine from a few years back, this time putting up a politically-charged piece on the Army Recruitment Center in Times Square. His reason for putting it up: "to quote E.E Cummings 'there is some shit I will not eat.'" See more images of his wheat-paste work here.

A self-taught American painter, Phil Frost has a uniquely sophisticated style. He finds what many would consider to be trash—discarded wood, bottle caps, paper, windows and doors—on the street and carts it back to his studio transforming the found objects into works of art. In his most recent works, a topical layer of white covers everything with heart like forms, men with shields and...
"Nomadaz - A Mediterranean Art Connection" features artists from Italy and Spain: 108, Microbo, Bo130, Dem (pictured at right), Eltono, Nano 4814, Sixe and Nuria Mora—for some it was their first time in sunny L.A. I really enjoyed the two collaborations in the show both by a man and a woman. One was by Nuria Mora and Eltono of Spain (pictured below), who made...
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,...
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,...

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...
