On June 8, one million handcrafted bones constructed from clay, paper machete and other materials were placed in the National Mall in Washington D.C. in a visible protest against ongoing genocide and mass atrocities. Organized by The Art of Revolution, the bones were created by artists, educators, students and activists from around the globe and weighed in at a total of 130,000 pounds of bones!

Nuxono Xän’s portrait of a man picking at his Afro (Which as you can see is a tree behind the wall) is a clever method to using other elements in the environment besides just the wall itself. Now what happens in winter when all those leaves fall? 

Last week we reported on the many walls that Julien Seth or Seth Globepainter or just Seth, had painted around Paris, with his largest wall still in process. Now the artist has completed this large wall with a beautiful dreamlike piece of a girls sitting on an upside down rainbow umbrella that is resting on a number of other colorless umbrellas. Flying fish can be seen floating by in the background and a small lizard and bird are keeping her company.

London-based artist Zadok Ben-David is and avid sculptor, his installations and pieces appear in locations all over the world. This particular travelling installation, entitled Blackfield, features tiny, detailed and hand painted metal flowers stuck in the sand. The flowers are inspired by 19th century Victorian encyclopedia illustrations and each one contains almost 20,000 3-D flora etchings.

Italy-based artist, Aris, has updated the Interwebz with some of his recent work he has painted outside. His paintings are often of abstract shapes that resemble silhouettes of human figures or natural elements. Although, two of these new walls are exceptionally different being how straightforward they are. The artist painted an igloo with branches and a pigeon portrait? 

Aryz teamed up with his old friend Vicio to paint a new wall in Fraga, Spain. Vicio laid out the background with colorful designs that includes a smiley face, a dog bone, and a diamond, while Aryz contributed a dog portrait with a fish in his mouth, a side view of a dog, and a fish sliced in half with a smiley face on its insides. 

Raymond Pettibon is now the tenth artist to have their art displayed on the 25-by-75-foot High Line Billboard in the Chelsea District of New York City.  The piece entitled “No Title (Safe he called…)” is from his famed series of baseball drawings. The image is of a game between the Boston Red Sox and the Brooklyn Dodgers, with accompanying words alluding to anEast Coast-West Coast feud. 

With very similar styles, it’s difficult to tell the two members of Interesni Kazki, Aec and WaOne apart. Both are highly talented whether painting massive murals or small ink drawings, with an obvious talent for the surreal. These two recent drawings, "Music Of The Night" by Aec and "Interesting fairy tale" by WaOne exemplifies the creative imaginations they possess.

Phelgm knocks out yet another wall in his hometown of Sheffield. This time around there are no characters, just some obscure mechanical parts with a small triangle at the center of the piece.
