The response we got after posting the inflatable bear photos last week was amazing. We couldn’t be happier to follow it up with these two wonderful videos, shot and sent to us by the artist, Joshua Allen Harris.
After watching the videos, we love the project even more…
Check out the hot new Spring/Summer 08 line by 55 DSL. Created in 1994 as an experimental spin-off from Diesel, 55 DSL rapidly established its own exuberant identity. Over the years it has sponsored the likes of surfer Joel Tudor, skaters Tony Hawk and Steve Berra and snowboarder Lukas Huffman. In a way, the company has a pact with its consumers. Customers provide loyalty, and 55DSL provides cutting edge fashion that help them enjoy their lives to the fullest…

Shit We’re Diggin: “The Decapatator” In London
From Wired:
“Renegade artist and head-hunter the Decapitator has been bombarding the streets of London with a signature style of graffiti tag - eerily removing the heads from major adverts around town, replacing them with ghastly, gory stumps. (Before and after images of a gruesomely guillotined model in a print ad, right).
Based on the images uploaded to his/her Flickr stream, “The East London Decapitator” as he/she has been dubbed, is largely striking mainstream advertisements, like this (my personal fav) High School Musical 2 poster.”
Holy Shit…What a night….Wicked set - the whole club was hype = all hands were in the air!!!

FLOSSTRADAMUS:
2 DJs, 3 turntables, and lots of people getting buck on the dancefloor. Forget what you think you know about spinning records. In 2005, DJs no longer need be characterized by n arrow labels like “hip hop,” ghetto tech,” or “house.” Jocks can sweep across all of those genres, mash them up together, and create something wholly new–something that can’t be easily pigeonholed.
Take it from Flosstradamus, the newly formed but already dynamic DJ duo comprised of Josh Young (J2K) and Curt Cameruci (Autobot). Like the emerging generation of post-millennium dancefloor crashers of the same ilk (see: Major Taylor, locally, and Diplo and Low Budget of Hollertronix nationally), Flosstradamus are more interested in getting the crowd moving–and grinding and sweating and bumping and shaking–than impressing any music elitists in the audience. They cut through genres indiscriminately, likely to play during any given half-hour: Le Tigre’s “Deceptacon,” Killer Mike’s “My Chrome” and the Cure’s “Lovesong”–perhaps sequentially, if you’re lucky.
With two men, a three-turntable setup, and an impressive catalogue of sounds (Young and Cameruci use programs called Serato and Final Scratch, respectively, which allows them to transfer all of their vinyl–at least 20 crates’ worth–to MP3s and treat them as records on the turntables).

As was the case last year, December is shaping up to be an amazing month of shows in New York.
This weekend, there are two shows that you won’t want to miss.
On Friday night, WK launches a rare solo show in Brooklyn (see below). And then on Saturday night, Blek le Rat, Blu, Bo130, D*Face, Microbo and Space Invader will all be showing new work as part of “The Streets of Europe: A Survey of European Street Art” opening at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in Chelsea.
More on both shows later in the week.
Photo of Banksy - via Art News Blog 
The BBC has published a photo that is believed to be the elusive graffiti artist Banksy.
I found it interesting that Banksy works in daylight, with an assistant and scaffolding (if this is a real photo of the artist). I found it more romantic thinking of the artist working alone, at night, and maybe using a ladder if he had to reach up a little higher.
This work is being done on a building in Tower Hamlets (UK), where the Council has made the decision to paint over Banksy works. In the BBC report, a Tower Hamlets council spokesman said “In this case, Banksy has sought permission from the owners of the privately-owned building for his latest work. We do however need to look at the issue of the yellow lines as we have a legal obligation to reinstate the bit of the double yellow lines which has been painted out.” BBC (the finished work can be seen on the BBC site.. it’s quite interesting)

John Zoller’s latest pieces, At Peace and Game Plan, has the nuclear family ready for anything.
From London to L.A. Wooster Collective has some excellent examples of street art from around the world. Always worth a browse.
The New York Times has taken note today of the arrest last Thursday of a guy who may turn out to be “the Splasher”, or one of them, the mysterious character (or characters) who have been defacing street art around New York by splashing it with paint. And yes, I’m aware that street art, since it consists of posters and paintings on public walls, could be considered as vandalism to begin with. But at least some of it is better than a lot of what I see in galleries. The motive behind the attacks? Pretty much what you would expect, resentment that some street artists, like Swoon and Shepard Fairey, to say nothing of that Brit prankster Banksy, are making their way into the gallery system. Better them I would say than John Currin. Also resentment that street art poses as a critique of a capitalist system it’s actually just one more part of. The same could be said of course about street art vandalizers who publish 16 page manifestos. Capitalism is a pretty flexible device, and it absorbs most critiques handily. Street art won’t change that. And neither will the people who deface it. Meanwhile, if you’re interested in seeing more street art, the best place to start is here.
