Cover artist and participating Detroit artist RETNA has a new video on LA Forward that shows him giving a tour of his mural in downtown LA that he painted with Mac based on a photograph by Estevan Oriol. What was supposed to be informative turns a tad confrontational as a man near the mural starting shouting at the film crew and Retna. Watch after the jump . . .

We are a sucker for anything with an ESPO tag on it. Our friends at ALIFE, whom we talked with earlier this Fall, are about to release a complete skateboard with GIRL Skateboards. Again, we are thinking Holiday ideas for you, and this one is another on those "limited and you will look like Santa Claus" type gifts to give. More pictures after the jump . . .

Ever since we profiled Greek artist Alexandros Vasmoulakis in the magazine, people have been telling us that they really like the work. We were caught by how grand his building-sized pieces were, part of that great generation of European street artists who are really capturing size and scale. Alexandros just created a fantastic short video, "Study For a Riot," based on the recent riots in Athens and the rest of Greece. Video after the jump . . .

Chances are, there haven't been all that many Viking Parades or invasions on Manhattan. Ever. We think the Vikings got to Newfoundland, but not New Amsterdam. Dennis McNett, whom we featured the other afternoon and who just opened a solo show at Joshua Liner in NYC, held a Viking Parade last night to coincide with his opening. Pictures after the jump . . .
