Vhils in Venice

A superb Vhils wall; it was done on the side of Post No Bills to coincide with the European Bailout show. It's also worth checking out what Vhils went on to do in Italy for FAME.

Toys from Chernobyl

Considered the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, and one of only two classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale (the other being the recent Fukushima nuclear accident), the Chernobyl disaster is one of the greatest catastrophes we've experienced in modern times. While most of us could never fully understand its impact, one photographer made it his mission to show us how it changed and even destroyed lives. Jan Smith sent us this powerful set, asking us to share it with our viewers.

"For the last few months I’ve been working in Ukraine on my latest project: Igrushka," Smith says. "This is an intimate exploration of the Chernobyl accident, twenty-five years later.

"Igrushka means 'toy' in Russian. It retells the Chernobyl accident through the portraits of forsaken toys from a very particular nursery in the abandoned city of Pripyat. These toys illustrate a way of playing that changed after the accident and fall of the USSR. They are also a conduit to memories about Chernobyl. The images are paired with stories and fables found on open pages in the nursery, as well as with excerpts from interviews with persons who were children at the time. The project is ongoing, and will culminate in a book later this year.

The unusual and fun street art from Brazil.

The unusual and fun street art from Brazil. The artists behind this work are Anderson Augusto and Leonardo Delafuente, and they call it “The 6emeia project”.

Tes One Website Re-Launch

From crayons to krylon, Leon “Tes One” Bedore has been creating art on walls for the majority of his life. In case you’re not yet familiar with his work, Tes became a serious street artist in 1992, painting murals and graffiti art throughout the Tampa Bay area. In 1999, he expanded on his natural artistic abilities, with that of the computer age, to develop compelling graphic designs for a number of clients.
Now, Tes One is combining all that he knows from his street-art roots and his digital design experience, to create works of art that accurately depicts his perspective and the world around him. The end result of his work demonstrates the craft of his design as well as the rawness of his stenciled street art. Good thing he just re-launched his website with new artwork (like the mixed media on wood Taking Tree, shown above) and prints (like our new fav, Carrie, shown below) so you can get to know Tes even better. Check it out now at www.tesone.net

Atleta | Photography Served

They make us happy, proud and sad. We know their names and life stories. They break the records and set the new ones. We follow their every move, we cherish any chance to get close to them. They persuade us to buy the famous brands, we listen to them. They are rich and glamourous, we want to be like them. There are very few people on Earth who have reached the status of modern gods. The worldwide media made them the focal point of nearly six billion human souls, who love and worship them. They wield an enormous power over the admiring masses and precious few of them use this power to make a difference in the lives of others.

Caesar Lima, a renowned photographer, began the ATLETA project in order to explore the glamour of professional sports. ATLETA spans the globe seeking out the few sport heroes who speak the universal language of compassion.
