Our homies, the art collective URNewYork got together with the good folks at Art Asylum to release a set of limited prints. Really dope pieces. Check out the video below to see how the pieces were created. Video was also by our good friends at Hot Mop Films.
Release Info:
Art Asylum Boston is proud to present “Arsenic”. The first release from prolific NY street/Gallery artists UR New York. This Fine Art Edition consists of Ten(10) original hand done works on 300gsm Fine art paper.
UR New York is a street art collective from New York City. They are best known for appropriating everyday experiences and amplifying them with their unique layering, intricate line work, text-based style & incandescent color palette, reflecting an eclectic artistic tradition. UR New York became just as notorious for their ornate painting techniques as their timeless style: They use paintbrushes mixed with the traditional spray can. Many of their pieces synthesize the line between fine art & graffiti, power & opposition, tradition & advancement. This print will be in a very limited edition of only 10 pieces & is priced at $100.00

Years ago, I remember seeing pairs of Skewville sneakers at different locations in the city and wondering who’s handiwork was that. I later found out and have always respected these dudes for their creativity with the sneakers thing. Leaving their own mark in their own way. Check out the video.
This might be the first time some of you have heard of Trustocorp and if it is, then I suggest you go here first to play a little catch up. Last week, Trustocorp put on their first ever art show with the good folks at Brooklyn Brothers Gallery and it was one of the best art shows I’ve seen in a while. The show was titled: Trustocorp – An overt display of mischief and mayhem. To me, the idea behind Trustocorp is a genius one. The concept of creating official looking street signs and products poking fun at society is one that I find very interesting and entertaining. I can’t help but smile every time I come across a Trustocorp piece.
Due to us knowing some people that know some people, we were able to get an exclusive look at the Trustocorp show before the gallery doors opened to the public. We also filmed the show as part of an exclusive piece we’re working on but I can’t let the cat out of the bag now. You’ll know more when the time comes. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures of the pieces we took below. Congrats to TrustoCorp on an awesome show and also the Brooklyn Brothers Gallery for hosting.
We finally had some decent weather out here in NYC this past wknd. Did a little running around and while hanging out, I saw the dude below doing this cool street art piece…Good stuff.
Open Air – street art documentary from ‘06. You must watch this if you’ve never seen it. The quality of the video is not the best, but it’s still a great piece nonetheless. Enjoy.
Check out the video below from our good friends – Destroy & Rebuild Art collective. Dope stuff! This video was also shot by our friend Danny Marques (Hot Mop Films).
Yep, we’re still rocking. Here’s part 10 of our popular museum of street art series. For this edition, I wanted to try something different, so I’m introducing you folks to a technique called light painting. It’s not really street art in the sense of “street art” but it’s art nevertheless and interesting enough for me to want to feature in this issue. Below you can check out some random light art images I snagged online and to learn more, go here. Also, if this is your first time seeing our museum of street art series, then you’ve seriously been missing some of the dopest street art in the world, and I would suggest you start here to see what you’ve been missing. Till next time.
Made a quick run to Goliath to talk some biz and saw the below street art at the corner of 103rd and Lexington Avenue…thought it was dope so I figured I’d throw it up on here…
The legendary Big Pun…R.I.P..
and boxer..don’t know if this is supposed to be somebody popular or just some random boxer art…
Ran down to Pearl Paint by Canal street to pick up a sketchbook and a few other art supplies, and ran into a street artist named DV that had these crazy images of popular rappers/rockstars but with their skin looking like they have some sort of disease..it’s crazy but pretty dope at the same time..I like the fact that it’s kind of different too because a lot of times when you see street artists doing these kind of images, it’s typically the same with no unique view point..you know I had to get some pics for ya’ll…
As a brand, street art has always been one of our major influences. With that said, enjoy these wonderful pieces. All images boosted from the good folks at Wooster Collective.
I found this story at Pingmag and it’s about a graffiti artist named ZEVS who is popular for his street art style called Visual kidnapping. Yeah I know, you’re like “What the heck is visual kidnapping?”. To quote him directly “Visual kidnapping is like entering an interactive game: If the brand on the billboard kidnaps the attention of the public with the purpose of consumer demand, I reverse the situation and I kidnap the model on the poster and I demand a ransom of 500,000€ from the brand. This sum represents the symbolic price of an advertising campaign for the brand.” Pictures of some of his work are below and visit Pingmag for the full interview.
