POW WOW Hawai'i wrapped up with a block party at Lana Lane studios and live painting by featured artists, who ritualistically bombed a white wall for a huge audience of visitors, locals, and flashing cameras. After a week of painting enormous murals non-stop, the crew was in full party mode.

We landed in Honolulu yesterday and hit the ground running, checking out countless murals in progress for POW WOW, an annual gathering of contemporary artists. Some of our favorite artists from the international community as well as fresh, local talent from Hawaii are currently coating walls in the Kaka’Ako neighborhood, and there are good vibes around every corner. Nothing beats painting in paradise.

We are excited to be one of the media partners at this year's Pow Wow Hawaii in Honolulu, one of the world's great art gatherings/festivals/workshop/public art/art hangout being organized in the world today. Kicking off February 9, we can't wait to have both staff and artist friends creating work in the most non-winter location we can think of.

One of the better festivals/programs that brings artists together, POW WOW Hawai'i is gearing up already for their 2013 edition. The team just released a series of videos by "Director Michael Inouye, highlighting February 2012's week-long art exhibit. With confessions from the creators and artists, we gain a clear understanding to POW WOW’s inspiring purpose as well as a look at the collection of amazing artwork that brighten the already well-lit city."

Juxtapoz friend and past featured artist, Patrick Martinez, just opened a body of new works, Reel Tawk, at Loft In Space in Honolulu, Hawaii. Martinez' works have always been inspired by Los Angeles store front signage, but this show is inspired by the current state of affairs in America.

August cover artist Craig Costello, just returned from Hawaii after finishing a new exhibition at Loft In Space, Site-Specific Painting and Sculpture. The exhibition featured Costello's signature KRINK work; new paintings, his largest sculpture to date, and a 50ft site-specific mural. Even the governor of Hawaii, Neil Abercrombie, checked out the show.
