Yeah, while informative, it’s crazy to see [...]

by Quincy Moore

It has really been awhile since we last heard from Banksy. He was busy this summer with an exhibit in Bristol and a number of street pieces, but for whatever reason he’s somewhat tapered off  since. Anyway, it’s a nice surprise to see that he’s put up a new work. The series of four stencils [...]

December 15th, 2009 · Comments
by Quincy Moore

Ah, the ubiquity of branding. Orlando-based artist, Jason Dean, collected letters that serve as logos and spelled the alphabet with them for a print. Let’s see if we can decipher what company or brand each represents: A (ABC, thanks Meli), B (Budweiser), C (Coke), D (Disney), E (Enron), F (Ford, thanks Stuart), G (General Electric), [...]

Yay or Nay? The Work of Benoit ATL

December 12th, 2009 · Comments
by Quincy Moore

We’ve shied away from featuring unpurchasable artwork of late. But since some of these paintings by French artist, Benoit ATL, are indeed still for sale, albeit without listed prices, we’ll let it slide. Plus, anyone who has the cojones to paint a photo of a homosexual Che Guevara (Gay-Vara, above) should in the very least [...]

December 10th, 2009 · Comments
by Quincy Moore

French illustrator Stéphane Massa-Bidal (aka Hulk4598, or Rétrofuturs) churns out new work at an astounding rate. His latest series depicts internet stalwarts as retro (his signature) magazine book covers. Somehow Massa-Bidal always seems to throw in a bit of timely irony and sarcasm in his work, proving that the man pays attention to the world [...]
