Do you remember that brilliant miniature stencil art city, stencil artist Evol created in Dresden in 2009? That was awesome, right, but now he created another, new stencil city in Norway! Evol’s new stencil artworks in the streets of Stavanger are part of this years Nuart Festival and are my personal highlight of that urban art event, because they buck the trend to go big (see Dotmaster) and even bigger (see Blu) and integrate already existing graffiti tags. ...

Here is a photo-series of another London-based graffiti artist: Dan Kitchener was already in action, when I accidentally met him at Great Eastern Street in Shoreditch some days ago. He was going to spray-paint a much larger version of his Urban Landscapes and finished the large-scale and more or less greyscale piece after six or seven hours of work… Those of you who want to see more nice photos of that pure graffiti action, have to take a look on my new “Street Artists in Action” project over there on Urban Art Photography! ...

I’m sure, some of you already noticed that there was Jimi Hendrix’ 40th anniversary of the death a few days ago. To commemorate that famous person, London-based stencil artist Fin DAC created an astonishing series of unique stencil artworks and prints, showing Jimi Hendrix’ portrait. Of course I visited that art show and took a closer took to the four fantastic, large-scale and unique spray-paintings on wood, newspaper, copper and iron. Take a look at my photos, I think there are no more words needed… ...

I received a nice e-mail by Dave the Chimp today, informing me that he has a new obsession: Socks! Limited to only 300 boxed sets, each set contains three different pairs of socks featuring my Human Bein characters, two big stickers, and a 48 page full colour book of the Human Beins enjoying life in the streets of Berlin and Hamburg. 75% of the socks in the world are made in China, but these beautiful box sets are made completely in Germany, with all the printing and box manufacture made within 5 miles of were I live.

Nychos’ graffiti horror show, which opened yesterday at Pure Evil Gallery in London, is a great success. A lot of people joined the opening (yes, some these crazy hipsters were there, too!) and marvelled at these gorgeous comic-style paintings, drawings and graffiti. Some were really scared by the horrifying scenes, brilliant! The Austrian Illustrator and Graffiti artist NYCHOS, who is mainly known for his prolific street art concept the Rabbit Eye Movement, is set to rock the foundations of the London establishment, combining his original comic styling with heavy metal attitude.

You know, I have a weakness for tape art and although it seems to be something like a part of a new ad-campaign (unfortunately I’m not able to understand Slovenian…), it’s rather interesting to see what these Slovenian artists, including Kitsch Nitsch, Fejzo, Jurij Lozič, Tilen Sepič and others did with some shopping carts full of tape… …most interesting about the videos is, that they show the flexible possibilities of tape as a tool for artists. It allows to more or less easily create simple as well as quite complex abstract patterns, installations, reduced respectively simplified images and so forth… ...

London-based stencil artist Fin DAC, who recently visited Berlin to create some astonishing stencil artworks, will commemorate Jimi Hendrix on the 40th anniversary of his death tomorrow. At Red Bull Studios in London, Fin will release his 16-colour, hand finished “Hendrix: Still Reigning, Still Dreaming” print and complete one of the four unique original pieces on wood, copper, metal and a newspaper collage canvas. Fin DAC’s striking image of Hendrix possesses a bold and edgy quality, yet also offers a harmonising ambience, illuminated by the kaleidoscopic protrusion of colour. Seventy hand finished limited edition prints and nine special edition prints with extra hand finishing and layers will be available on the night, before their official release on September 18.

In addition to that fantastic graffiti horror show by Nychos, there will be another interesting urban art exhibition tomorrow in London: British stencil artist SPQR will open his “Monochromatic Shades” stencil art show at Signal Gallery, exploring the art of protest, brainwashed media and the evils of society. SPQR is an artist from the West of England whose work has the ability to take the challenge of Banksy head on and produce a body of mostly stencil based artwork which has it’s own brand of ‘humour through protest’. Unlike Banksy, he has not been interested in developing hype and PR frenzy. In fact, he has actively avoided ‘selling out’ to the more commercial and cynical end of the Street Art movement.

Tomorrow is going to be a great day for urban art enthusiasts in London! Three big graffiti and street art events will take place and one of them is the graffiti Horror-Show by famous Austrian graffiti artist Nychos, who is the creative head behind the “Rabbit Eye Movement”. It’s his premier solo-exhibition in London, so it’s your first chance to take a closer look at his phenomenal illustrations, spray-paintings and that great comic-style… ...

WTF?!, was the first I thought, when I saw that jumbo size marker - And when I say jumbo, I mean ultra-jumbo, because this marker, an oversized staunch white tube by Nugget, is probably the biggest marker worldwide and was created by the Everfresh collective from Australia. The group known as Everfresh creates works which fuse intense colour, intricate line work, iconic characters and visual narratives, using the most diverse street art and graffiti techniques. The Everfresh crew are the key players that continue to shape Melbourne’s dynamic and prolific street-art scene. (everfreshstudio.com) ...
