Streets: Galore Festival (Copenhagen) Part II

A couple weeks ago, AM documented the mural process of Belgium-based street artist ROA as he painted a tower in Copenhagen for the Galore Festival. We can now bring you more photos of other artists who participated including French artist Dran and the entire Da Mental Vaporz crew (who painted a long wall together), and many others like RIPO, Drewk The Pirate, Grito, and Lints. If you remember, Dran held two shows in December at in London as kind of his coming out party. More pics […]

Openings: Dran – ‘I Have Chalks’ @ Pictures on Walls

It’s been a busy end to the year for French artist Dran with not one but two shows held in London in association with the print house, Pictures On Walls.

What do we spy in the window through which the Marks and Stencils show we mentioned previously is being set up? It looks like the rumored new Banksy print Choose Your Weapon (60 cm x 60 cm, £450.00) which will be released later this month and is based on his recent “Keith Haring Dog” stencil. This group show curated by Pictures on Walls at a 1 Berwick Street in Soho looks to be like the Santa’s Ghetto (featuring Dran and other artists) for this year […]
