“Welcome to TrustoLand.” For the latest issue of Mass Appeal, the good people of TrustoCorp headed to an abandoned theme park somewhere “between Barstow, CA and Las Vegas, NV” and did their thing. The deed was captured mostly in still images rather than video, so the final product is a bit jerky, but it’s worth […]
Per Gothamist, a band of unnamed cyclists created illegal street memorials last night, remembering the pedestrians and cyclists struck and killed by vehicle drivers who were never charged. The marked spots bring attention to crashes that required no investigation, according to the NYPD. Where applicable, the memorials include the name of the victim, the date […]

But not at Doyle New York. They let the street art genre stand on its own and for their inaugural auction last October, 70 percent […]
In what has to be one of the most unlikely collaborations between street art and something else, here is “Les Ballets de Faile.” The upcoming exhibition features the work of Brooklyn-based art duo Faile and the New York City Ballet. The centerpiece of the exhibit is a 40-foot tower installation made from painted (and silkscreened) wood […]
After a year of legal purgatory following a bogus (if not career-enhancing) assault charge in London, crochet-bombing street queen Olek has finally returned to her old stomping grounds — and she’s wasted no time reacquainting New Yorkers with her work. Apparently using the city’s recent blustery cold spell as her muse, Olek is back at […]
Recently, American hero Lance Armstrong finally owned up to taking performance enhancing drugs, an explosive tidbit that virtually everyone in the cycling world already suspected, making it the sporty equivalent of OJ admitting murder.
