It doesn't matter which way you look as long as you look at the streets of Philadelphia and Santiago

I finally got to updating the community section and its shaping up to be a great archive of street art from our favorite cities. New and updated Philadelphia and Santiago are a must see, plus pics from my recent trip to Tel Aviv. 407 photos and I'm not done updating... there are still about 20-30 photos in my inbox waiting to get posted. On your walk home, look around you, snap a photo and send it in.

Breathing Room

A collective of young artists known as Studio Smack were commissioned to put together a video reflecting the enormous amount of visuals that plague us every day. They stripped away everything in our path but commercial and graphical messages leaving us with a very dark and sad truth.

"The amount is so big that its commercial effectiveness has become utterly dubious." See Kapitaal (Capital) for yourself.

Google Crazy

We've heard that many of you are visiting us from Google but we have no idea where and why we are getting all this attention today. We'd love it if somebody would be kind enough to let us know? There might even be a little present in store for you. Click to e-mail.

UPDATE: Ok, mystery solved. CNN and Business 2.0 wrote a story on unknown artists and featured us among other sites/friends Wooster Collective and Stencil Revolution. Thanks for the heads up... Although we are not entirely comfortable with the story's topic of collecting profits from the up and coming, it is nice to see the medium get some exposure. Click to read the full article.

Domestic Espionage T-Shirt

Collected conversations. Recorded voices. Sound bytes. Transcribed, compartmentalized and given meaning without context.

Tools of the Trade T-Shirt

Graffiti/Street Art appropriates the canvas of urban brick and concrete, noise and dirt– and subverts it into something beautiful and intentionally-provoking. It is defiant and transformative.

Parrived!

This coming Thursday... illustrator, artist and one of our very own collaborators is coming to town. See the works of Parra at a two-hour showing in South Beach or (if patience permits) wait for his visit to LA next month.

Word of Mouth

I've just returned from Langerado 2007. I'm tired, exhausted and pretty sure I survived the last three days on pure adrenaline. I want to thank all of you that stopped by with so much positive energy and feedback. It always surprises me how many people "get it" and are willing to support us and our efforts.

In the next few days I'm going to gather up all the photos from the festival and post them here for you to enjoy. Until then, help us flourish as a grass roots operation -- spreading by word of mouth or online by bookmarking us on del.icio.us

If you were at the show and would like to email me, drop me a line at: rugeneric (AT) gmail (DOT) com

Two Days Away

Here we go again! We are only two days away from this year's Langerado Music Festival, where we've secured a 10'x20' booth to showcase our latest catalog of t-shirts and print art. If you plan on going to the show drop me an email or at least be sure to stop by and say hello.

We'll be launching two new t-shirts at the show that you'll be sure to love. Click for a preview... or view last year's fun.
