Posted by sven, July 31, 2009

We recently picked up a copy of “vna,” a beautiful A5 sized publication and enjoyed the content so much that we thought we should share the information here for those who may notÂ have come across it yet… “vna” documents UK street art through some of the best photographers out there capturing this ephemeral work before it disappears, and serves as a great record preserving all theÂ best workÂ put upÂ on the streets.Â Â Issue 9 looks bigger and better than ever, with 100 full colour pages showing work […]

Posted by sleepboy, July 31, 2009

Looks like the Os Gemeos took time after hitting up New York with an epic mural to paint one of the bathrooms at the Montana Colors offices. If only we could hit the lotto and have the Brazilian twins get up in the AM offices as well. Via Montana Colors. Discuss Os Gemeos here.

This Friday in San Diego, Kelly Vivanco returns after her highly successful solo outing at Thinkspace in Los Angeles. Subtext welcomes Kelly along with the up and coming Jason Limon.
