Graphic of the Day: Love Me Strikes Again
Dec 19 2011
If you’ve been in New York many years, you would definitely remember the famous DKNY billboard in the heart of Soho. Sure, you can argue it was just an advertisement, but for most of us, it was much bigger – a love letter to New York, pure and simple. In the realm of advertising, it was iconic. Originally designed by Peter Arnell, the mural stood erect for almost 20 years. Todays...
Stan D'istraction: Revamped Street Signs
Aug 24 2011 / by stan d'arde
We are not ones to condone graffiti, but we are definitely ones to support and nurture the creative arts. I came across this website called Happy Place via a good friend of mine who I like to call CD. It showcases people’s artistic interpretations of what public signage should be. Click the link and let hilarity ensue. Another favorite of mine…
New Banksy in London
Aug 23 2011
Todays graphic is the new Banksy piece in London.

Jul 06 2011
If you’ve been walking around New York the last few months, you’ve noticed a ton of advertisement tagged with the infamous Moustache.

Anyway, it turns out the 26-year-old graffiti artist called Joseph...
Graphic of the Day: Graffiti + Street Art
May 19 2011
Today’s graphic is a wonderfully complicated attempt to breakdown the evolution of graffiti and street art. We’re still a little confused ourselves but we can’t stop trying to decipher what the hell it all means? Maybe MOCA’s Art in the Streets was onto something after all?

MOCA + NIKE
Apr 22 2011
Earlier this week, we wrote about the infamous Art in the Streets Exhibition at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA). The opening was a smash success. The reason Art in the Streets has been getting such attention is because it’s the first major U.S. Museum exhibition focusing exclusively on the history of graffiti and street art. Within the...
