The Michelangelo of Graffiti
From current.com:
“Mear One, the ‘Michelangelo’ of graffiti, Los Angeles-based fine artist is famously known for his politically legal street graffiti art. Mear shows his work that he created for 2008 and talks about legalized street art with Judy Baca. Judy Baca was commissioned by Los Angeles Major, Thomas Bradley, to preserve Mear One’s art and Los Angeles murals. According to wikipedia, it is rumored that a documentary is being done on Mear One.”

Icepick!!!
Jon Reiss and I recently had the opportunity to meet artist Thordis Claessen, author of the Icelandic street art book, ICEPICK.
She’s up to some great things and her book beautifully captures the “vivid and freaky” street art from the land of the midnight sun.
Check out ICEPICK and learn more about Thordis here!
