Gzzglz.com - A fake Google site?
Fo shizzle my gzzglz. At first glance it might appear that urban tech hackers had taken over Google, but at closer scrutiny you'll realize it's a nice slight of hand. Gzzglz.com is the latest liquidation work of ZEVS, Nice to see the street blurring the lines in the wired. What's next?

Tel Aviv Graffiti and Street Art
This is an amazing documentation of Graffiti and Street Art from Tel Aviv filmed by Nir Wiess. The music titled "The Molten Core" by Aalborg Ambient Soundtracks adds a hauntingly beautiful presence to it all.

"OUROBOROS" from SAM3
Here's a recent video by the artist SAM3. It features some great stop motion that he filmed in Berlin back in September/November 2008 with music by Bijan Cheminari / Noh Zarbi from the album Eos. If you're into street art then you're most likely familiar his work. However, at this point, he's pretty much established himself as a gifted artist period... with or without the additional labels one might throw his way. Check out more of his work here: www.sam3.es

StreetArtLocator.com mashes up Street Art with GoogleMaps
We've been waiting for something like this to come along. Streetartlocator.com is a community google map mashup mapping street art the world over. With street art being so transient, this could be a great tool/resource for both documentors and the urban tourist. Get to work!

BANKSY wall free with purchase of photos on eBay!
Back in 2004 Banksy journeyed to Jamaica and as you might expect, left a little something behind. Four years and some months later the same Jamaican, Peter Dean Rickards, that revealed Banksy's identity several months back got the "brilliant" idea to remove the cement wall from outside a small pub on Mona Road.
Rickards is also the photographer whom documented the entire process and is now selling the photos (10 total) on eBay starting at $100,000 for the set. Here's where it gets even crazier... buy the photos and you get the wall for free (plus about $10,000 for shipping)! The photo above shows the piece in storage (with security, no doubt). The video below shows the dismantling of the art outside the pub. And after the jump Rickards explains how this all went down.
The Afflicted Yard: The Rock from Rickards Bros..

Bruno 9li in Copenhagen
Bruno 9li just posted some new images from his solo exhibition "SUMA" in Copenhagen with Rojo artspace We Love Asbaek back in November. It's a nice treat for those of us that just can't get enough of his work and couldn't make the trek to what looks like a great opening reception.
