A few pics of saturday’s opening! Classic!

Hey New Yorkers, if you’re in town this saturday, come for a good time and good art from world famous graffiti duo 123klan at Da Bakery spray shop in the Bronx.

Pigments Editions will be releasing 2 new prints at the show

Release date tomorrow at 1PM New York time!

Hundreds of fans contacted me lately to ask me why I did not release a print for Valentine’s day like everybody else and tell me how much they were sad that I did not make the best of that great commecrial opportunity. Well, I don’t even know myself… I probably have to think about something for easter….

Just discovered this pretty nice website about street art. Loads of images, few words.

unurth.com

My buddy Supakitch has a brand new website. I think his work really deserved a place to be properly presented online.
I found that the website represents pretty well the spirit of the artist and shows an interesting selection of his work, all that in a classy and fresh way. Nice! Go check it out here.

Just discovered the work of these two young guys from Amsterdam (if I understand well…)

Stunning. I love it. Bring them to New York and give them a show!
Or should I try to do this myself? Humm…

Check out more stuff here or here

Nice!

And by the way, the interview, as well as the whole magazine are very good.

My new print is out today. I’ve been working with French stencil artist C215 to create this mixed media series. The result is stunning, closer to an original work than a print, and lets just say that at this price, buyers will be bargaining.
I have to say that I am proud to have worked with Christian (Guemy A.K.A. C215) as I admire his work, his sincerity and his views as an artist. The fact that his print works are so rare was very heartwarming too.

But also, I am really happy that this print is making a real statement and has something to say. The kid in the portrait is a symbol. His name was Roney, and he has been killed in cold blood by the mafia of his favela in Sao Paolo. Since then many people from all over the world have opened their eyes to this sad reality, and understood that things need to be done. Among them, the CARF foundation, has been working actively in big cities of south america to help children getting out of the streets, 10% of the benefits from the sales of the Roney print will be given to them.

It’s my way to participate and to say that if people were conscious of some of the problems our world is facing, and if every body was doing something to fight them, even little things, from time to time, maybe this would make a difference.

Great artists and icons are receiving constant tribute, and most of the time they really deserve it and I respect them and that fact, but I also think we’ve seen enough of Marilyns, soup cans of all kinds, Obamas, Jacksons. It’s time to pay respect to artists with new visions and to icons that really deserve a change in our attitudes.
