N.A.S.A. music videos – out of this world

Posted on February 8th, 2010

Now this is surely how all animation should look.

Inspired by urban landscapes and street art – as well as music geniuses, Kool Keith and Tom Waits – this video was directed by Fluorescent Hill and forms part of the N.A.S.A. music project.

N.A.S.A: Kool Keith + Tom Waits

N.A.S.A have created a host of eye-bleedingly brilliant animated videos with contributions from artists like OBEY, and music by M.I.A., Santogold, RZA and Chuck D to mention but a few.

You can see all the videos from the project right here.

Secretwars…

Posted on February 6th, 2010

I have known about and been involved with Secretwars for over two years now and am super stocked to see things growing from single artist battle tournaments around Europe and the UK into the new euro league style competition. Its going to be interesting to see who wins and how big the hype gets in 2010! Londons first battle is against Amsterdam on the 19th at the Bookclub. Get down and show your support for team London!

More on the Euroleague here

Also in other news… the first ever Australian Secretwars series will begin in Sydney on the 11th of Feb at NAME THIS BAR on Oxford street. Be there to support the artists and watch a little bit of SW history in the making.

Make sure you say hi to my man running the show, Shannon from Aisle six industries & Monorex Australia. You never know, he may buy you a beer?

Faile + Bast = Deluxx Fluxx Arcade

Posted on January 31st, 2010

Faile and Bast are teaming up on a concept show which is set to open on the 12th of Feb 2010 at Lazaridies Greek street gallery.

After their last show in London (which was amazing!!! but out of my price range) I am really keen to see what Faile are up to with this one. Faile and Bast will be taking over both floors of the Greek street gallery and its reported that art lovers who attend the show will be able to purchase Faile artwork for £2?? Installations and interactivity is also on the cards… Curious? I am!

Make sure you head on down to Laz from the 12th to see more.

Vancouver street art scene?

Posted on January 31st, 2010

I’m heading over to Vancouver for a while and was wondering if there any artists or pieces I should try and check out while I’m there. I’m pretty ignorant of the scene out there so if any one has any suggestions of what I should see or who I might get in touch with, please leave a comment. Thanks.

Meeting of styles comic zine

Posted on January 30th, 2010

Matilda from End of the line dropped by during the week and hooked me up with a copy of the MEETING OF STYLES photo zine thing… and its pretty cool.

There is some really nice photography in here. I love the graffiti work, but also the shots of the event. Its a nice reminder of the event and seeing all those people hanging out watching artists paint back in June 2009.
