         <description><![CDATA[Our first ever interview was with an artist named  Hop Louie. He is a very productive cat who loves to put stuff on walls from Finland to Senegal.

         <title>Studio Gangster</title>
         <description><![CDATA[This past December (during Art Basel) I had the opportunity to check out an exhibition by Steve Powers and friends at the Miami Design District. The show was presented by Deitch Projects and aptly titled "Sign-A-Rama." The space was filled from floor to ceiling with sign graphics and verbage from the hands of Barry McGee, Matt Wright, Chris Johanson and more. I was so into it that I left with a signed copy of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Steve-Powers-Studio-Gangster/dp/1584232870" target="_blank">Steve's latest book</a>. It's been on my desk for more than two months now and I don't foresee it moving to the library anytime soon.
<br><br>
If you like Steve Powers AKA ESPO's work, than you would enjoy this recently released 24x30 limited edition print titled Handy Signs. <a href="http://www.handysigns.net/" target="_blank">Available at handysigns.net »</a><br>

         <title>King Adz, Post V</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Back in the USA… There is only one street artist who is doing anything remotely original today and that is Brad Downey. I am giving him all the press he deserves with a feature in <a href="http://www.100proof.tv/truth4.pdf" target="_blank">100proofTRUTH Issue 4</a> and a double sized spread in my <a href="http://web.modarteurope.com/magazine/current-issue/" target="_blank">Modart Magazine</a> column 'Word From King Adz'. Brad is not only a true original, he is also one of the nicest, most genuine blokes I've had the honour of getting down with. He's got a great book out 'The Adventures of Darius and Downey' published by Thames & Hudson. Here are some links to his work:

         <description><![CDATA[This is England! There is a massive amount of street fashion photography on the web these days and all of it is the result of the life's work of one man: <a href="http://www.paulhartnett.com/recent/recent_1.html" target="_blank">Paul Hartnett</a>. Who has been documenting/shooting street and club culture since 1976. He is the absolute Don and there would be no Face Hunter, Last Nights Party, Cobrasnake etc etc etc without Paul paving the way. His photography has not only influenced the street style photography, but also documented thoroughly the emerging sub-cultures, beginning with Punk and still going strong with Nu-Rave and Underage disco. He has a retrospective exhibition of his work this week at the Vibe Gallery in the Old Truman Brewery in East London, starting on the 14th Feb...<br>

         <description><![CDATA[There is some really killer/fresh fashion coming out of Manchester (England) at the moment. Nu-Rave and mash-up culture materializes in clothing form with the youthful fashion label Me & Yu - designed and managed by two people (Angie & Gordon) from their stall in <a href="http://www.afflecks-palace.co.uk/" target="_blank">Affleck's Palace</a> a quirky indie indoor fashion market in the coolest part of Manchester (<a href="http://www.northernqtr.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Northern Quarter</a>). My 14 year old daughter is really into their clothes and this is the best endorsement out there: word of mouth from the teenager! link: <a href="http://www.meandyu.com/" target="_blank">www.meandyu.com</a><br>

         <description><![CDATA[One of the people who I've been in contact with most in the last year is Iranian street art legend, A1one. We hooked up after he watched my <a href="http://www.die-gestalten.de/nonbooks/detail?id=be0db8100cc9278f010d5edb138700a7" target="_blank">Blek Le Rat film</a> back inna day… He is a big fan of Blek and stencil art. But over the last year he has started to develop a mixture of street and Iranian folk art, into a fucking great look… Street art constantly need to reinvent itself, to reinvigorate itself otherwise it might stagnate or disappear up its own arse… visit: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/37654053@N00" target="_blank">A1one's flickr</a> and <a href="http://tehranwalls.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Tehran Walls Blog</a><br>

         <description><![CDATA[King Adz signing in for a week of guest-blogging on this fucking amazing website. So from across the pond I say 'Howzit!'<br><br>
For those who don't know me, I am a writer and ex-film-maker and my crew/creative collective is called <a href="http://www.100proof.tv" target="_blank">100proof.tv</a> and has members in all continents… And today I'm gonna be giving a Big Shout! to all of Africa and all of my African Peeps and looking at talent that really means something from that continent. The best film-maker on the planet right now is a South African lady called Alex Mamacos who has been down with 100proof since the beginning. Her first film '<a href="http://www.vimeo.com/666669" target="_blank">My Beloved Thandiwe</a>' just blew me away, and it takes a lot to move me these days… Pure film-making, purely non-commercial, for the love of film and true love of humanity, which in this day and age of movie bullshit is a fucking rare thing... Anyway watch her film here: <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/666669" target="_blank">www.vimeo.com/666669</a><br>

         <description><![CDATA[I've collected a set of links over the last few weeks that run the gamut from Brazil to China. During Art Basel Miami, a site specific street level installation was put together by some ambitious art collectives and called Primary Flight Miami with works by: Bask, Blek Le Rat, David Choe, The London Police, She Kills He and many more. Flickr has got <a href="http://www.flickr.com/search/?s=int&w=all&q=primaryflight+miami+++&m=text" target="_blank">a good collection of photos from the walls</a>. Leon writes to tell me about <a href="http://www.c6.org/" target="_blank">c6</a> a group known as "The Original Art Wankers." It's fun to <a href="http://c6.org/drupal/index.php?q=gallery&g2_itemId=1041" target="_blank">watch the video</a> where they sprayed the windows of a London Underground train in 9 minutes with 1,260 flies. Click for <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/process/sets/72157603397247052" target="_blank">a set of mixtape stickers</a> and also don't miss <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sao/sets/72157601458813225/detail/" target="_blank">the work of 6EMEIA</a> -- living to make our streetscapes happy, colorful characters. Unrelated to street, but deserving of a click are these <a href="http://www.mazm.com/2007/09/19/38.toys-manufacture-in-china-25-pics.html" target="_blank">eerie toy manufacturing photos</a> from China.]]></description>
