Brooklyn-based sign painting company, Colossal Media, has recreated the letter collage artwork of Greg Lamarche aka SP ONE on the side of a building off the Williamsburg Bridge. The mural is part of an ongoing project entitled “Big Brush Project.”

We are excited for directors Faythe Levine and Sam Macon's new documentary Sign Painters. Featuring the stories of over two dozen dedicated painters, the film exhibits their time-honored methods and appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. 

David Shrigley has left a lasting impression on Juxtapoz over the past 12 months. First, a standout exhibition at Hayward Gallery in London that we loved, which luckily traveled to our backyard at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, then our interview with the British artist in our September 2012 issue, and of course his brilliant wall at Art Basel. Now, the artist just opened Signs at Anton Kern in NYC.

Anyone feeling the holiday gift-buying panic yet? We sort of suffered through some high-tension shopping this past weekend, but if we were in Brooklyn, perhaps we would have found some peace. Steve Powers, 2x Juxtapoz cover artist, just opened a new storefront, ESPO's Creative Outlet. Residing at 4th Ave and Bergen St, in the Boerum Hill section of Brooklyn, the shop has a range of in-store only prints, along with ESPO-related books, catalogs, ephemera and a raincoat or two.
