Ludo returns to London
Ludo has made a welcome return to London in recent weeks with works from his Natures Revenge series appearing all over the East End of London. I managed to track down a few last Friday but if you want to see them in person be quick – just like real flo…
Three Birds In A Fountain
Water reflections? Has to be Jay.

The educational worm turns

Checkin’ In With Alexandros Vasmoulakis
“Here is our latest wall. This time my friend Paris Koutsikos and I had the pleasure to collaborate with the 73 years old Greek painter Andonis Kyriakoulis.

Subway Etiquette – An Introduction
“Jay Shells is the man behind Subway Etiquette, a new project that uses silk screen signs, which look identical to official transit signs, to speak not just to New Yorkers but all commuters, asking for a simple thing: Respect.

We follow Jay from his silk screening studio in The New School, through the stairwells and tunnels of the New York Subway System, posting signs that hopefully remind us all to be a little more courteous. “
