Banksy is a graffiti artist with a global reputation whose work can be seen on walls from post-hurricane New Orleans to the Palestinian segregation wall in the West Bank. Fiercely guarding his anonymity to avoid prosecution Banksy has so far resisted all attempts to be captured on film. Exit Through the Gift Shop is the story of how an eccentric French shop keeper and amateur film maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner with spectacular results. Billed as "the world's first street art disaster movie," the film contains exclusive footage of Banksy, Shephard Fairey, Invader and many of the world's most infamous graffiti artists at work.

01.25.2010 ABCs Of Graffiti Here is a must have book! It's a pretty sweet comic style book
. In this 26-page alphabet book you will see a comically painful side of graffiti that has only been talked about, but never illustrated. Each page is packed with details taken right off the streets and meticulously hand drawn into every scene. Don't sit through one more conversation from some preachy art school kid or hip hop b-boy about why graffiti is an art. This is about graffiti the sport. It's about the chases and cases. The thrills and the spills. The crimes and the fun times. The book is 100 percent juse. He illustrated everything front and back and came up with all the content.You can pick up a signed copy of it at abcsofgraffiti.com.
More updates to the site soon!
12.18.2009 EyeWriter The EyeWriter project is an ongoing collaborative research effort to empower people who are suffering from ALS with creative technologies.
It is a low-cost eye-tracking apparatus & custom software that allows graffiti writers and artists with paralysis resulting from Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to draw using only their eyes.
Members of Free Art and Technology (FAT), OpenFrameworks, the Graffiti Research Lab, and The Ebeling Group communities have teamed-up with a legendary LA graffiti writer, publisher and activist, named Tony Quan, aka TEMPTONE.This international team is working together to create a low-cost, open source eye-tracking system that will allow ALS patients to draw using just their eyes. The long-term goal is to create a professional/social network of software developers, hardware hackers, urban projection artists and ALS patients from around the world who are using local materials and open source research to creatively connect and make eye art.
How crazy would it be to make art with just your eyes!

11.31.2009 Art is a crime! Because of YouTube, I have been reading about a lot of graffiti artist going to jail. Revok and Buket being the two bigger names going down. For some reason, it seems like its only in LA, but these are also the guys that are really out there pushing it. Revok was found not guilty, however, bucket was not so lucky. Getting 3 years in jail is pretty crazy for painting! Buket is known for his crazy day time paint spots, shown on you tube. He also has a pretty amazing blog about being in jail. This is his story of a journey that most will never take.Read it here!
Here is the revok1 story.

11.23.2009 Hense Art Show For the people that didn't make it out to the hense art show, you really missed out! From the gallery to the art work, the entire atmosphere made it an all around good show. The gallery, The Railyard, located in the westside of town, was a good choice on where to have the hense art show. The art pieces went on sale for up to 10,000 bucks! It was a little out of my price range but nonetheless, still amazing.
Here are a few photos from the show.

Speaking of taking over billboards, Here is a amazing photo of Deka(Atlanta graffiti writer) Taking over a billboard on Decatur st, Atlanta Ga.
