"How to do a Graffiti Throw Up" by SEEN
May 05, 2010
SEEN is probably one of the most amazing people that I have ever had the pleasure of getting to know. At one his many summertime BBQs in the Bronx I asked the Godfather of Graffiti to show me how he does his legendary Throw Up. He grabbed a can of paint and I whipped out my camera and what we have here is a 3 minute visual instructional video for all you graff heads to enjoy.

Much love and respect to Richie and special thanks to DJ Spider and Urban Medium for the mix!

Amicvs Monstrvm - SF
May 02, 2010
Tonight in SF was the opening of Scott C. and Nathan Stapley's latest show "Amicvs Monstrvm". I would have officially DIED to get my hands on "Drunk Frankenstein", but alas, at Scott campbell's prices they get swooped up quickly. I'm sure the others will get sold in no time, especially since the show is only up till the 18th!
If you aren't in the area you can check out the artwork on the Gallery 1998 site. I swear Scott's stuff is so fuckin cute it makes me wanna cry.

Faile Bast Deluxx Fluxx Arcade 2010
May 01, 2010
Faile and Bast have completely outdone themselves with their latest installation "Deluxx Fluxx Arcade 2010". 158 Allen Street in NYC has been completely transformed into an street art game room with 10 standing arcades and a black light room with a neon foosball table in the back.
The cabinets (which used original hardware from the 80s and early 90s) were painted and plastered with posters by the artists. Then, Adapted Studio in Brooklyn translated their artwork into a set of 40 game-like interactive pieces and Les Savy Fav supplied the accompanying music. You've got games that allow you to interact with artwork via wheels, joysticks, buttons, and guns. You can even buy custom tokens though a coin machine to take you to special levels or just to take home as a keepsake.
It's such a relief to go to an artists' event where you can interact with the art, actually touch it and have fun. Too much now a days art shows are very sterile and leave little for the fans to take home as an 'experience', but Faile and Bast have taken that concept to the extreme in this amazingly original and completely addictive concept. So thank you guys for not being boring, seriously, thank you.
