The windowless side façade of this building in Villareal, Spain is an unusual canvas for Escif’s larger than normal and newest mural. Entitled “The Enlightened Vandalism,” the thoughtfully composed piece depicts a the same character in a ski mask participating in various acts like bolt cutting, shooting a sling-shot, holding a spray can, kicking, and holding their arms in the air on their knees as if being arrested.

We are feeling the vibe of this painting on a train, of a train smashing an old Model T style car by French artist, Vilks.

What’s the vagabond, animal mural painting artist Roa been up to lately? More of the same like painting, painting, and painting. Currently large, big, and huge walls in London.

Is this not the best thing Barry McGee has ever been a part of, a fake bonfire with teenagers interviewing him? The Teen Arts Council in Boston began their “Around the Campfire” artist interview series and starting strong they had McGee participant. Endearing and sincere.

Steve Powers aka "Espo" just opened a new solo show on May 18, 2013, entitled “Visual Blues” at Alice Gallery in Brussels. In Powers’s own words, “I’m in awe of the power and the reach of music. To compete with the majesty of music, I make paintings that are visual blues. I distill my everyday experience into paintings I call Daily Metaltations. They are painted very fast, fresh from the epiphanies that inspired them. The larger paintings draw from those metaltations and go to a deeper understanding of the transactions we make everyday to live our lives.”
