Graffiti

Taipei is one long jet-lagged flight away from where we rest our head, but if you are on the island of Taiwan this Saturday night there is a good art show to check out.  Graffiti writers, Optimist and Stuey, will be showing new work at the AMPM Gallery in a show entitled Time Flies in Taipei. Optimist sent over a video and some exclusive preview shots of work that will be on display.  Go!

The fire extinguisher prankster who has been blasting the storefronts of many known high end fashion boutiques in frustration of a culture becoming commercialized, recently decorated the store front of Marc Jacobs with the word “art” in Soho, Ny.  In a crafty retaliation, Marc Jacobs printed the image of the storefront on a t-shirt and is now retailing them for $689, with a “Kidult signed” t-shirt being a little cheaper for the consumer, ouch.

Yes, even you can read it and you mother can read it, and your grandma can read it, and anyone with bad eyesight can read it.  It say D A S H E R and it’s good.

We really enjoy these weird candy-colors Seb is choosing to paint his pieces recently.

The Next stop on the bus will be Nekst burgers and shakes.  Nice window advertisement placement in Chi-Town.

The prolific two letter bombing legend, MQ, along side New York rapper, Skam Dust, sent over this photo of a recent spot paying tribute to the recent passing of Beastie Boys member Adam “MCA” Yauch.

Mesnger lends a hand with Fword’s “W” and “O” by painting a character throwing up a “Westside” and making an “O” face.  Looks like a legal wall, but I bet you it is not!

Lately, Amuse has been cranking out the walls and dusting plenty of cans of paint. One of his best ones yet!

Roids must be a dedicated draftsman to produce such high quality walls.
