Hao

I love this tiger mural by Hao, I discovered his cool stencils while flipping through the pages of Stencil Nation.

Retna

Crazy cool stuff from LA's finest: Retna. Just read an interesting interview with him in the September issue of Juxtapoz magazine. Learned that he paints all those calligraphy like writings in columns not rows, thought that was kind of rad.

Dalek

James Marshall, aka Dalek paints bright geometric designs that have been applied to skate decks, ipod cases, figurines and converse just to name a few. Above is a few shots from a mural he did outside CDM store in Corona Del Mar, and some super cool limited edition board shorts that he designed for Hurley.

Stina Persson

Love Stina's work, especially her cut paper and watercolour pieces, super stoked to check out her “Perfectly Flawed" show on September 9th at Gallery Hanahou in NYC!

Ana Amelia Metsavaht

Art Director for Brazilian fashion label Osklen, Ana Paints original peices that are incorporated into her brother Oskar Metsavaht fashion shows, hand painted onto select fabrics and adorns the walls of Osklen stores.

Ananda Balingit-Lefils

You really need a steady hand to paint this precise, i thought the joyous patterns intermingled throughout her paintings were prints, but no they are in fact gouache and graphite on paper, exquisite!

Her work

Nuria Mora

Madrid based street artist Nuria Mora adds serious charm to various cities with her signature bright geometries and designs.
(Nuria, if your by chance reading this blog, please note you have my full permission to paint my door any time you get ready)

The Joy of the Mundane

Stumbling upon Ian Talty aka "The Joy of the Mudane", via Wooster Collective, proved both exciting and sad. exciting in that i absolutely love this man's angle on photography and sad to learn that he is no longer around, after being swept into the Mississippi river, while taking pictures in a tunnel, in 2009...quite tragic.
His photography takes you on a journey through urban sprawls such as graffiti walls, industrial scraps, bridges, tunnels, train tracks and outside goodness. his work is so creative and good, i literally spent hours looking at his flickr page, the titles for each image are equally thrilling.
