Releases: Travis Louie – “Zarkana” Safewalls / Cirque du Soleil Poster

Posted by sleepboy, July 6, 2011

You may remember when we first introduced the Safewalls project from Cirque du Soleil to you back in April and then followed it up by updating you on the Miss Van release. Each show the highly successful Canadian circus puts on has its own theme as well as setting and it seems that they have paired up a great artist with each one. The newest poster to be released (at a random time tomorrow, July 7th) will be from Travis Louie (interviewed) and will be for Zarkana. Check their […]

Since the opening of his show, The American Graffiti Artist (covered), at the Opera Gallery, SABER (interviewed) has been involved in a slew of other shows including Street Cred in Pasadena and Assorted Flavor just last weekend. We thought we would rewind back to the NYC opening and take a closer look at the behind-the-scenes action of the creation of the Keprage RWB print that was released concurrently with that show (details for purchase here).

Recently engaging in his first solo exhibition in Zurich, La Belle Vie (covered), back in April, as well as spending a great deal of time getting up on the crispy clean Swiss urban landscape (covered), the Paris-based street artist has settled back in his hometown and gotten down to work. With some clever word play, Green Berry is LUDO’s (interviewed) take on cellphone communication technology meshed together with his signature nature themed imagery. The above video shows the multi-talented artist at work, efficiently installing the […]

Posted by sleepboy, June 8, 2011

It’s been a couple of years since we told you about the mini-paintings from Naoto Hattori, so we thought it would be a good time for a reminder seeing that he just released a new batch. These incredibly detailed pieces are released periodically and are amazing to see in person when you realize how small they are (the one above is only 3.7 x 3.7 inches). If you are interested, make sure you join the mailing list here. Its a perfect way to get a regular […]
